Both are free to download. CellarEye sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Bottelio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bottelio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarEye has 53 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of CellarEye's written reviews are positive against 0% of Bottelio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
