Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Stew Leonard's Wines & Spirits at none against BevMax's shown. Stew Leonard's Wines & Spirits also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). BevMax's advantage is ratings volume (116 vs 20). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BevMax holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BevMax has 116 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of BevMax's written reviews are positive against 88% of Stew Leonard's Wines & Spirits's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
