# CellarTracker vs CellarReserve

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.

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.
