# True Wine vs Terroir

The clearest difference is rating: True Wine at 4.8 against Terroir's 2.9. True Wine also leads on ratings volume (553 vs 9) and review sentiment (67% vs 50%). Terroir's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. True Wine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Terroir asks for nothing beyond the download.

True Wine holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: True Wine has 553 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of True Wine's written reviews are positive against 50% of Terroir's.
