A beautiful home for every bottle in your collection. CellarReserve helps you track what's in your cellar, what you paid, where it's stored, and when it's ready to drink — with a clean, considered design that feels at home on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. SCAN A LABEL TO ADD A BOTTLE Point the camera at a label and CellarReserve reads the wine, producer, and vintage for you. Photograph several bottles at once and add them together. Prefer typing? Search a shared catalog of more than 5,000 wines and the details fill in for you. KNOW WHAT YOU OWN Track every bottle individually: size, purchase date, price, current value, storage location, and bin. See quantities and total cellar value at a glance, or hide the numbers when you'd rather not think about them. OPEN BOTTLES AT THEIR BEST Drinking windows show which wines are still resting and which are ready to enjoy now. The Ready to Drink widget keeps them on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, so nothing is forgotten until it's past its prime. REMEMBER WHAT YOU DRANK When you open a bottle, mark it as drunk with a rating, the occasion, and your notes. It leaves your cellar and joins your Journal, a record of every bottle you've enjoyed. FIND ANY BOTTLE FAST Search by wine or producer, then narrow by color, type, varietal, country, or region. Your cellar stays browsable no matter how large it grows. SEE EVERY LABEL Build a photo gallery for each wine. Pinch to zoom and swipe between shots — no more squinting at a dusty bottle in a dark corner of the rack. ORGANIZE BY PRODUCER AND SHOP Browse your collection by producer, with photos of well-known estates, and keep track of the shops, wineries, and merchants you buy from. YOUR CELLAR, EVERYWHERE Sign in with a free CellarReserve account and your collection syncs across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the web. Or keep it on one device with no account at all. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your bottles, purchases, notes, and cellar locations are yours alone. The wine catalog is shared, and label photos from your scans are added to it unless you turn that off. COMING FROM CELLARTRACKER? Import your existing collection from a CellarTracker CSV export and pick up right where you left off.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: CellarTracker at 13K against CellarReserve's 1. CellarTracker also leads on chart position (#19 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 26.0). CellarReserve's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. CellarTracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and CellarReserve sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 CellarReserve. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellarTracker has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
CellarTracker ships an update every 3 weeks, CellarReserve every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
