"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."
"This isn't the fairest comparison, however, because ChatGPT was available only in the U.S. during its first week, while Sora is currently offered in the U.S. and Canada at launch. Still, Appfigures says that Canada contributed about 45K installs, so the Sora launch was about 96% of ChatGPT's launch, if the data had been based on the U.S. numbers only."
Appfigures estimates Sora had 627,000 iOS downloads in its first seven days, compared with ChatGPT's 606,000 iOS downloads during its first week. ChatGPT was available only in the U.S. during its first week, while Sora launched in the U.S. and Canada, with Canada contributing about 45,000 installs, making the Sora debut about 96% of ChatGPT's U.S.-only launch. Sora remained invite-only at launch yet saw 56,000 installs on its first day, reached No. 1 on the U.S. App Store by October 3, and hit a peak of 107,800 daily iOS downloads on October 1, 2025. Sora uses the Sora 2 video model, enabling realistic deepfakes and prompting public concerns after users created AI images of deceased individuals; daily installs have since fallen to lows around 84,400.
