Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wine.com at none against CellarTracker's 6. Wine.com also leads on ratings volume (83K vs 13K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). CellarTracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Wine.com against 4.9 for CellarTracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wine.com has 83K ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Wine.com's written reviews are positive against 71% of CellarTracker's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wine.com ships an update every 2 months, CellarTracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
