# Winebook vs Wine

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wine at 76% against Winebook's 29%. Wine also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Winebook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Wine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Winebook ships an update every 3 months, Wine every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
