GuildSomm's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

GuildSomm is free to download; Wine Maps costs $0.99 up front. Wine Maps sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GuildSomm sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
