# CellarEye vs Vinny

The clearest difference is monetization model: CellarEye at free with in-app purchases against Vinny's subscription. CellarEye also leads on ratings volume (54 vs 2). Vinny's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CellarEye sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Vinny sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Vinny holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarEye has 54 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 97% of CellarEye's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vinny's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
