# CellarTracker vs Wine List

CellarTracker and Wine List both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Wine List's written reviews are positive against 71% of CellarTracker's. CellarTracker's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 5) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). 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 Wine List sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. 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 Wine List. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarTracker has 14K 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 100% of Wine List's.

CellarTracker ships an update every 3 weeks, Wine List monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
