Vivino Alternatives for Wine Collectors, Compared

Is there a better app than Vivino?

It depends on the job. Vivino is built for discovering and buying wine, so for tracking a cellar the main alternatives are CellarTracker, OENI and VinoCell, and for comparing prices the closest is Wine-Searcher. Many collectors keep Vivino for checking a bottle on the shelf and use a cellar app for what they own.

Facts below were checked on each app's own site, support pages or App Store listing on 26 October 2026. Prices and features change, so confirm before you buy.

What does Vivino do that cellar apps do not?

Vivino is for people who want to decide what to buy. Its listing says a scan shows a wine's rating, reviews, price, tasting notes and food pairings, and that you can buy wine directly in the app. Its Premium subscription adds perks such as free shipping from $100, an AI sommelier chat and a wine list scanner, according to Vivino's own Premium page. Its listing also calls it the world's largest wine app and marketplace.

The apps below do a different job: they record the bottles you own. For a two-app view of that split, see CellarTracker vs Vivino.
