The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Curate Wine at none against SOMM TV's 4. Curate Wine also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). SOMM TV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (452 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SOMM TV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Curate Wine asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for SOMM TV against 5.0 for Curate Wine.
