Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Whisky App at 5.0 against Whiskey Shelf's 4.5. Whisky App also leads on iOS requirement (6.1 vs 13.4). Whiskey Shelf's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 50%) and ratings volume (133 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Whisky App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whiskey Shelf has 133 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Whisky App's written reviews are positive against 81% of Whiskey Shelf's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Whisky App ships an update monthly, Whiskey Shelf every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
