# Vinny vs XWine

The clearest difference is monetization model: XWine at freemium against Vinny's subscription. Vinny's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 18.6). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vinny sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and XWine sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 — 5.0 for Vinny against 5.0 for XWine. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively.

Vinny ships an update every 2 weeks, XWine every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
