# Wine vs ADEGA

Wine and ADEGA both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Wine's written reviews are positive against 14% of ADEGA's. Wine also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (17K vs 1). ADEGA's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, 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 ADEGA sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ADEGA 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Wine's written reviews are positive against 14% of ADEGA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wine ships an update every 9 days, ADEGA every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
