BevNote allows you to create and group wines by flights or lists, create tastings and assign notes, and then share all that data with colleagues and clients in groups and chats. You can also edit flights on the fly right from your phone, and generate shareable PDF's on-demand, or upload data from external sources. Our ethos is human-centric - not company centric, so your data is not locked to a license and everything comes with you should you ever change companies or roles. You just update your app accordingly. We hope that this platform will provide you a way to more efficiently organize and share your data, and facilitate direct and easy communication with your clients, ultimately saving you time and making you more money.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Pour at weekly against BevNote's every 3 months. BevNote's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
