OpenAI recently introduced the iOS app of its video generation platform Sora. Surprisingly, it has nearly matched the first-week download numbers of ChatGPT’s initial launch. If we go by the data shared by Appfigures, Sora recorded around 627,000 iOS downloads in its first seven days, which is slightly ahead of ChatGPT’s 606,000 installs during its launch week.
The comparison isn’t entirely one-to-one, as Sora launched in both the US and Canada, while ChatGPT initially rolled out only in the US. Canada accounted for over 45,000 of Sora’s total downloads, which means its US-only numbers are roughly 96% of ChatGPT’s first-week performance.
