# Wine vs Oeni

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Wine at 17K against Oeni's 960. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and Oeni sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Wine against 4.7 for Oeni. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wine has 17K ratings behind it against 960, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Wine's written reviews are positive against 73% of Oeni's.

Wine ships an update every 9 days, Oeni every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
