# XWine vs SommPal

The clearest difference is update cadence: SommPal at every 5 days against XWine's every 2 months. SommPal also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). XWine's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XWine sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and SommPal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 XWine against 5.0 for SommPal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SommPal has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

XWine ships an update every 2 months, SommPal every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
