Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Whiskey Shelf at none against OnlyDrams's 10. Whiskey Shelf also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (81% vs 65%). OnlyDrams's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (9.3K vs 120). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OnlyDrams sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whiskey Shelf asks for nothing beyond the download.
OnlyDrams holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OnlyDrams has 9.3K ratings behind it against 120, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Whiskey Shelf's written reviews are positive against 65% of OnlyDrams's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
