Smart Wine Cellar vs InVintory
Both are polished, modern cellar apps. Smart Wine Cellar Pro costs $60 a year against InVintory Premium's $149.99, and adds hosted tastings and a restaurant wine list scanner.
30-day Pro trial & forever-free plan. No credit card required.
InVintory is a beautiful app with a generous free plan: unlimited bottles, drink windows and food pairings. Its Premium plan adds a 3D model of your cellar and an AI assistant, and it has a loyal following among collectors who care about presentation.
Smart Wine Cellar covers the same ground for less. Pro is $5 a month, and it includes the AI Food Matcher, a restaurant wine list scanner that learns from your ratings, live cellar value and climate monitoring through Home Assistant. Hosting a tasting with friends is free.
