Essent Estimated Delivery Date's 68.1% share looks dominant, but D: Local Delivery Date Picker slipped 1 position this month and the rest of the top 5 has reshuffled. Delivery Date apps are settled at the top and contested below — for merchants whose needs aren't a perfect Essent Estimated Delivery Date fit, the #2–#5 apps often surface better niche options.

United States leads geographic demand for delivery date apps at 22.7%, but the install base is meaningfully spread across multiple top markets. India follows at 10.8%, with United Kingdom at 6.2%. Together, the top 3 markets account for 39.8% of delivery date app installs worldwide. Canada (5.4%) and France (5.0%) round out the top 5.

3 apps on this chart haven't yet crossed 1,000 reviews: Delivery Date & Pickup Stellar at 552, Estimated Delivery Date ‑ ETA at 507, D: Local Delivery Date Picker at 304 cumulative reviews. Delivery Date & Pickup Stellar is closest to the milestone — its current count puts it roughly 55% of the way to 1,000.

The 52-month gap between Essent Estimated Delivery Date's and Pickup Delivery Date Pickeasy's time-to-1,000 highlights how unevenly product-market fit landed across this delivery date set — the leader found its merchant audience early, while late-rampers took multiple years to reach the same review depth. For merchants comparing these apps today, slower-ramping apps may have closed the functionality gap but still operate on smaller review bases.
