After OpenAI’s video-generating app Sora surged to the No. 1 position on the U.S. App Store, it has now, technically, experienced a bigger first week than ChatGPT on iOS, according to new data from app intelligence provider Appfigures. Its estimates show that Sora saw 627,000 iOS downloads in its first seven days of availability, compared with ChatGPT’s 606,000 iOS downloads during its first week.
Shortly after the publication of this article, OpenAI’s head of Sora, Bill Peebles, announced that Sora reached a million downloads (across platforms, not just iOS) in under five days. He said that was faster than ChatGPT, despite Sora being in invite-only mode.
