# DAOU+ vs CellarTracker

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DAOU+ at none against CellarTracker's 6. DAOU+ also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 71%). CellarTracker's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 403) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CellarTracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. DAOU+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for DAOU+ against 4.9 for CellarTracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarTracker has 13K ratings behind it against 403, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of DAOU+'s written reviews are positive against 71% of CellarTracker's.

DAOU+ ships an update every 5 weeks, CellarTracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
