Verdict

The call

Wine.com and Cellar Somm both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Cellar Somm's written reviews are positive against 62% of Wine.com's. Cellar Somm also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Wine.com's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (85K vs 1). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
