Openai’s Sora app for AI videos is a viral hit, despite being limited to the US and Canada users at the time of launch. On the first day, Sora saw 56,000 downloads, and according to the new information of the app detective appFigas, the US App Store’s number 3 was ranked as a top overall app.
The farm assumes that the iOS app of Sora’s iOS was drawn on its first two days, September 30 and October 1st at the total 164,000 installs.
The Day-One Figure puts Sora’s debut ahead before the performance of other major AI applications, including anthropological clode and Microsoft’s Copilot, and made it equal to Jai’s Grock Launch. Meanwhile, Openai’s Chatzipt and Google’s Gemi iOS applications had some powerful launches, out of which at least 1,5 downloaded each day.
Since Sora still has just invited, it may not be the most beautiful comparison, we will admit. This is possible to attract the new video app More Install if it is open to all users.
Despite these restrictions, it is a fairly strong display for the new release, which indicates the demand for AI video equipment in the hands of customers in a more social networking experience. (This is for some goats in the open, who want the company to concentrate on solving more strict problems in the benefit of humanity. But who will say that the CEO of Humanity Ophenai is not benefiting from the depth of Sam Ultman, asking, “My piggies are enjoying their opalo?”).
To compare the initial success of Sora with other AI applications, Appfigers had to run an analysis that only saw the United States and Canadian downloads of other AI applications. Because different AI applications in the market have followed different launch strategies. For example, the ChatzP was initially launched on the iOS and at that time confined itself to US users, when Grock simply restricted its iOS-liberation in the United States, Australia and India. Meanwhile, anthropological, it did not indicate that it was geographical restrictions when it was first brought to IOS to the first Claud app.
To compare apples-to-apples, appfigers simply shrink numbers to focus on US downloads of each app, more in Canada, the app is available during the introduction.

It shows that ChatzPT and Gemi were larger than the source with an iOS download of 1,5 and 5 days respectively. Tied to 56,000 for day-one installs with Sora Grock. And it easily defeats the Launches from the AI app Claud and Kapilot. The former was drawn on a download of 21,000 days, while only after seeing only 7,000.
Sora also hit the top charts in the US App Store, turned into the overall top app of number 3 within the second day. For comparison, Chatzipt reached its first number on his second day, when Grock was at number 4, Gemi was at number 6, Kapilt was number 19, and Claud was 78.
