The 25-month gap between REZ Preorder, Back In Stock's and Preorder, Back In Stock ‑ STOQ's time-to-1,000 highlights how unevenly product-market fit landed across this reminders 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.
