Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sub at none against Wine Cellar Manager's 13. Sub also leads on ratings volume (786 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.2). Wine Cellar Manager's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 15%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Wine Cellar Manager sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Sub asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sub holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sub has 786 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Sub's written reviews are positive against 46% of Wine Cellar Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sub ships an update every 5 weeks, Wine Cellar Manager fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
