TikTok in 33 months, Google & YouTube in 40 months, and Omega Facebook Pixel, Meta Ads took 68 months to cross the same milestone, a 39-month spread between the fastest and slowest in the set.

1 app on this chart hasn't yet crossed 1,000 reviews: Parkour: Facebook Pixel & Feed at 175 cumulative reviews. Parkour: Facebook Pixel & Feed is closest to the milestone — its current count puts it roughly 18% of the way to 1,000.

The 39-month gap between Facebook & Instagram's and Omega Facebook Pixel, Meta Ads's time-to-1,000 highlights how unevenly product-market fit landed across this engagement metrics 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.
