Free, no email required.
Or let the app keep score
The tedious part of any tasting is adding up everyone's cards at the end. ClinkRate does that bit: everyone joins the same session on their phone with a PIN — no install, no sign-up for guests — rates each drink on those same four things, and the app tallies live, runs a leaderboard, and crowns the winner. It even writes an AI review of each drink and a recap of the night, in a Professional, Fun, or Sarcastic tone. Your first session is free, then it's a flat $1.99 per session — no subscription.
