# CellarTracker vs Cellared

The clearest difference is ads: CellarTracker at none against Cellared's shown. CellarTracker also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 7) and chart position (#18 vs #145). Cellared's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment 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 Cellared sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. 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 Cellared. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarTracker has 13K ratings behind it against 7, 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 75% of Cellared's.

CellarTracker ships an update every 3 weeks, Cellared every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
