Some bottles are worth remembering. Botilo gives your favorites a place on your own glass shelves. Start with a photo, add the details, and watch your collection grow. Keep track of whatβs on hand and save a note when you open a bottle, so you can return to the ones you loved. FROM PHOTO TO SHELF Photograph a bottle or choose a photo; photos you take in Botilo can also be saved to your Photos library. Botilo creates a studio-style bottle image and reads the visible label.

Botilo Plus is an optional monthly subscription that includes up to 30 registrations per monthly billing period. One registration includes a studio photo and label reading. It is used when processing completes, even if you do not save the photo. Server-confirmed processing failures return it to its original period or balance without extending the period. Unused monthly registrations do not roll over. Cancellation keeps access until the current paid period ends. Viewing and editing saved bottles, quantities, tasting notes, sync, and backups do not require a subscription. New photo processing requires an internet connection and App Store account verification. The price is shown in your local App Store currency before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. Manage or cancel in App Store account settings. Bottle photos are processed through Botilo's server and OpenAI after your consent. Label reading does not search the web. For a recognised wine, a missing country, region or grape variety may be suggested and is marked Suggested. So is a type inferred from the wine's colour or appellation. Printed details Botilo can't confirm on the label are also marked Suggested. Generated images and suggested details may contain errors; check the bottle yourself. Botilo is a personal collection tool and does not sell alcohol.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Botilo at every 2 days against JUNIPER's every 7 months. JUNIPER's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
