RateWhiskey was built for Whiskey (and Whisky) lovers, by whiskey lovers. We were just sick of bad whiskey apps. Now you can keep track of your whiskey collection, your wishlists, and all the drams you've enjoyed! Share your reviews with friends, see what others have said about other whiskeys, and earn badges as you go. Socially connected, and constantly updated, RateWhiskey is the best whiskey rating app out there! Yes, yes we know, some people say Whisky, we argue about that all the time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OnlyDrams at 4.9 against RateWhiskey's 2.3. OnlyDrams also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 25%) and ratings volume (11K vs 3). RateWhiskey's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OnlyDrams sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. RateWhiskey asks for nothing beyond the download.
OnlyDrams holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OnlyDrams has 11K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of RateWhiskey's written reviews are positive against 65% of OnlyDrams's.
RateWhiskey ships an update every 2 months, OnlyDrams fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
