Why choose Botto over Vivino
- You’re the customer. Vivino is a wine marketplace: scan a label, see the ratings, then buy from over 500 merchants without leaving the app. Botto has nothing to sell you but Botto. You pay for the app, and the app works for you.
- Made for the wine you own. Botto isn’t a feed or a shop. It’s your cellar: Wine names in large type, few numbers, nothing competing for attention. It feels like a well-kept notebook you want to open after dinner.
- Every bottle has a place. The kitchen fridge, rack B, the top shelf. Open Botto and you know where each bottle is.
- Every bottle gets an ending. Mark it uncorked, given away or broken. Open one and keep your rating, a tasting note, who you drank it with and what you ate.
- A nudge the morning after. Botto reminds you to rate last night’s bottle while you still remember it.
- Made for your phone. Add a bottle by snapping its label. Fix a purchase, look back at every bottle you’ve opened, and take your cellar with you as a file, all from the app.
- A lower price. Botto is free up to 30 bottles. Botto Pro is USD 29.99 a year, where Vivino Premium is USD 47.90.
