# Wine Cellar Manager vs Shelly Smart Control

The clearest difference is rating: Wine Cellar Manager at 4.2 against Shelly Smart Control's 3.1. Shelly Smart Control's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ratings volume (89 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wine Cellar Manager sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Shelly Smart Control asks for nothing beyond the download.

Wine Cellar Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shelly Smart Control has 89 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Wine Cellar Manager's written reviews are positive against 48% of Shelly Smart Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wine Cellar Manager ships an update fortnightly, Shelly Smart Control every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
