Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vine Spectator at none against Winebook's 3. Vine Spectator also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Winebook's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
