# CellarTracker vs Wine ID

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CellarTracker at 71% against Wine ID's 13%. CellarTracker also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 85) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CellarTracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Wine ID sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CellarTracker holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarTracker has 14K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of CellarTracker's written reviews are positive against 13% of Wine ID's.

CellarTracker ships an update every 3 weeks, Wine ID every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
