# Aveine vs CellarTracker

The clearest difference is rating: CellarTracker at 4.9 against Aveine's 3.7. CellarTracker also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 3) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). Aveine's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, review sentiment, 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. Aveine asks for nothing beyond the download.

CellarTracker holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarTracker has 13K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Aveine's written reviews are positive against 71% of CellarTracker's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
