# Wine vs SmoQUP

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SmoQUP at none against Wine's 2. Wine's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

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

SmoQUP 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.

Wine ships an update every 9 days, SmoQUP every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
