Botilo Plus is an optional monthly subscription that includes up to 30 registrations per monthly billing period. One registration includes a studio photo and label reading. It is used when processing completes, even if you do not save the photo. Server-confirmed processing failures return it to its original period or balance without extending the period. Unused monthly registrations do not roll over. Cancellation keeps access until the current paid period ends. Viewing and editing saved bottles, quantities, tasting notes, sync, and backups do not require a subscription. New photo processing requires an internet connection and App Store account verification. The price is shown in your local App Store currency before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. Manage or cancel in App Store account settings. Bottle photos are processed through Botilo's server and OpenAI after your consent. Label reading does not search the web. For a recognised wine, a missing country, region or grape variety may be suggested and is marked Needs review. So is a type inferred from the wine's colour or appellation. Printed details Botilo can't confirm on the label are also marked Needs review. Generated images and suggested details may contain errors; check the bottle yourself.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mamenote at none against Botilo's 1. Botilo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
