If a match is not found during auto-completion data entry, you can add new wines, wineries, varieties and countries on the fly. Bar code scan feature will search for wines in your cellar to facilitate inventory updates and reconciliation. If a wine is not located, a new entry will be initiated with the bar code entered. This full featured app generates current and historical statistics of you wine usage and provides you with a mechanism for backing up to Dropbox or sharing your entire inventory through email.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: InVintory at every 5 days against My Wine Cellar's every 6 weeks. InVintory also leads on ratings volume (5.1K vs 197) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). My Wine Cellar's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
