# Wine Wizzard vs CellarTracker

The clearest difference is rating: CellarTracker at 4.9 against Wine Wizzard's 3.8. CellarTracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13K vs 9). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wine Wizzard sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and CellarTracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CellarTracker holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarTracker has 13K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Wine Wizzard'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.

Wine Wizzard ships an update every 6 weeks, CellarTracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
