# CellarTracker vs Wines

The clearest difference is ratings volume: CellarTracker at 13K against Wines's 5. CellarTracker also leads on chart position (#16 vs unranked) and review sentiment (71% vs 60%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CellarTracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Wines sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for CellarTracker against 5.0 for Wines. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarTracker has 13K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of CellarTracker's written reviews are positive against 60% of Wines's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
