# Wine vs Aveine

The clearest difference is rating: Wine at 4.8 against Aveine's 3.7. Wine also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 3) and chart position (#24 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and Aveine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wine holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wine has 17K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Wine's written reviews are positive against 71% of Aveine's.

Wine ships an update every 9 days, Aveine every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
