# My Wine Cellar vs Viniou

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Viniou at 99% against My Wine Cellar's 59%. Viniou also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). My Wine Cellar's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (197 vs 16). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Wine Cellar sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Viniou sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Viniou holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Wine Cellar has 197 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of My Wine Cellar's written reviews are positive against 99% of Viniou's.

My Wine Cellar ships an update every 6 weeks, Viniou weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
