# CellarTracker vs Pour Memory

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pour Memory at none against CellarTracker's 6. Pour Memory also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%). CellarTracker's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 18) and chart position (#16 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. Pour Memory asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for CellarTracker against 4.8 for Pour Memory. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarTracker has 14K ratings behind it against 18, 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 Pour Memory's.

CellarTracker ships an update every 3 weeks, Pour Memory fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
