Two cellar apps, a sixfold gap in price. Here is what that difference really gets you.
InVintory targets the collector who wants a 3D cellar and a bespoke service, and its free version is generous. The real question is what its Premium costs, which language it speaks to you in and what it keeps behind the subscription.
Try Caviste for free. 24.99 €/year, six times less, and the cellar map is included with no subscription. See the app →
InVintory Premium costs $149.99 a year, exists in three languages and keeps the cellar map and the AI assistant for subscribers. Caviste costs 24.99 € a year, exists in thirteen languages and gives the cellar map to everyone.

InVintory Premium is listed at $149.99 a year, with no monthly option, and its Elite plan carries no public price: you have to ask for a quote. Caviste is 24.99 € a year or 2.99 € a month, flat, with no plan above it. Over five years the gap passes $600. What InVintory charges extra for is the 3D cellar, the AI assistant and critic scores: real things, but none of them changes the answer to when a bottle should be opened.
InVintory exists in English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. No French, no Spanish, no German, no Italian. On an app you open with a bottle in your hand, reading a foreign language is an effort every single time, and the advice that matters gets lost on the way. Caviste exists in thirteen languages, in the app and on this site, and the cellarman's note is written in yours.
With InVintory, building a 3D cellar and locating a bottle in it require Premium, so $149.99 a year. With Caviste, the cellar map is open to everyone: you draw your racks, you file bottles by drag and drop, you shade the rack by wine colour, by drinking window or by time spent in the cellar, and the “Locate” button works from the bottle sheet and from the sommelier alike. No subscription.
