# WineryGuide vs CellarTracker

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WineryGuide at none against CellarTracker's 6. WineryGuide also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 71%). CellarTracker's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 227) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CellarTracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. WineryGuide asks for nothing beyond the download.

CellarTracker holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarTracker has 14K ratings behind it against 227, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of WineryGuide's written reviews are positive against 71% of CellarTracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WineryGuide ships an update every 5 weeks, CellarTracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
