Two French wine cellar apps. Here's how they actually differ.
Oeni is the most downloaded wine cellar app in France, with a large wine database and a polished feel. It's a solid choice. The main differences with Caviste come down to three things: how you pay, how the scan works, and whether your data stays yours.
Oeni has the largest database and requires a subscription (8.99 €/month). Caviste keeps a real free tier, costs less (24.99 €/year), and reads any label without a database.
| Caviste | Oeni | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Yes: 30 bottles + 20 AI scans, kept for good | No: subscription required after a 1-month trial |
| Price | 2.99 €/month or 24.99 €/year | 8.99 €/month |
| Label scan | AI reads any label, no database needed | AI + large wine database |
| Small growers & foreign wines | Read from the label, even if unknown | Depends on database coverage |
| Drinking window | Ageing table by appellation, editable per bottle | Yes, ageing phases |
| CSV import & export | Yes, free, both ways | Not offered |
Comparison based on publicly available information (App Store listings and official sites) in July 2026. Prices and features may change.
Oeni asks for a subscription to keep using it after the trial, at 8.99 €/month. Caviste is different: after a 7-day full-access trial, you stay on a free plan with 30 bottle sheets and 20 AI scans, kept for good. If you outgrow it, Premium is 2.99 €/month or 24.99 €/year, well under Oeni.
Both apps scan labels. Oeni matches against its wine database, which is rich but, like any database, can miss small growers, natural wines or foreign bottles. Caviste's AI reads the label itself, so it fills in a bottle even when no database knows it. You always confirm the result before saving.
Caviste imports and exports your cellar as a plain CSV, for free, any time. Moving in or out is never a trap. If you're on Oeni today, you can rebuild your cellar in Caviste in minutes by scanning your bottles.
