1 app on this chart hasn't yet crossed 1,000 reviews: SMART Bundles Volume Discounts at 404 cumulative reviews. SMART Bundles Volume Discounts is closest to the milestone — its current count puts it roughly 40% of the way to 1,000.

The 87-month gap between Kaching Subscriptions App's and BOGOS: Free Gift Bundle Upsell's time-to-1,000 highlights how unevenly product-market fit landed across this physical products 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.
