# Wine vs Secondz

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Secondz at none against Wine's 2. Secondz also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 76%). Wine's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 2) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Secondz asks for nothing beyond the download.

Secondz holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wine has 17K ratings behind it against 2, 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 89% of Secondz's.

Wine ships an update every 9 days, Secondz fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
