# Wine vs Parcelles

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Wine at 17K against Parcelles's 2. Wine also leads on chart position (#24 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Parcelles's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, 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 Parcelles sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Parcelles 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 100% of Parcelles's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
