InVintory built something genuinely impressive: a 3D cellar visualiser (VinLocate) that makes your wine rack look as good as it feels. If a photo-realistic cellar map is the primary job, it wins clearly.
But if the job is knowing which bottles are at peak right now, getting an alert before a great vintage fades, and pairing from the wines you actually own — Saignée does that at a flat price, with an AI drinking window on every bottle including the free tier.

THE FLAT-PRICING DIFFERENCE
InVintory's 3D visualiser is unmatched — if a beautiful rack map matters most, pick InVintory. If you want an app that tells you what to open tonight, warns you before bottles fade, and pairs from your cellar at a flat price that never rises with your bottle count — that's Saignée.
Questions answered
Can I import my InVintory cellar into Saignée?
Yes. Export your InVintory list as a CSV and upload it to Saignée — columns are auto-mapped and every wine is AI-enriched with a fresh drinking window, region, varietal, and expert rating.
Is Saignée cheaper than InVintory?
For most collectors, yes. InVintory Premium is $14.95/mo (~$149.99/yr, verified July 2026). Saignée Collector is $7.99/mo flat — the same price whether you have 50 bottles or 5,000. InVintory Elite is custom-quoted, so for large premium collections the gap widens further.
Does Saignée have a 3D cellar map like InVintory's VinLocate?
No — that's InVintory's signature feature and it's excellent at it. Saignée optimises for readiness intelligence (what to open and when) and AI pairings rather than a visual rack map. Some collectors use InVintory for the 3D view and Saignée for drinking-window alerts.
