PiVi & Co claims that FatBooth is a "top 25 all-time paid app". The company is probably referring to figures released by Apple in 2012, when celebrating the 25th billion app download. On that ranking it appeared that FatBooth was the 17th most downloaded paid app over the preceding 12 months.{{cite web|title=All-time most popular paid iOS apps in 2012|url=http://www.macstories.net/news/apple-reveals-new-all-time-top-apps-following-25-billion-downloads/|accessdate=4 January 2014}} However, it appears that this is no longer the case, as seen on the new all-time ranking shared by Apple to celebrate the 50 billionth iOS app download in 2013.{{cite web|title=All-time most popular paid iOS apps in 2013|url=http://www.tuaw.com/2013/05/06/apple-discloses-top-iphone-and-ipad-apps-of-all-time/|accessdate=4 January 2014}}

As of January 2014, FatBooth has been installed over 10 million times on the Android platform.{{cite web|title=Android statistics|url=http://www.androidrank.org/details?id=com.piviandco.fatbooth|accessdate=4 January 2014}} Some have estimated the gross revenue for the app on the iOS platform to be as high as $24 million,{{cite web|title=Top paid iOS apps in 2012|url=http://inspiredm.com/23-phenomenal-iphone-apps-that-got-people-rich/|accessdate=4 January 2014}} making it one of the highest grossing iOS apps of all time. However, PiVi & Co's published revenues show that the company, across all its apps, actually brought revenues of 1.4 million euros ($1.9 million USD) in 2010, 2.1 million euros ($2.8 million USD) in 2011 and in 1.4 million euros ($1.9 million USD) in 2012.{{cite web|title=Company revenues|url=http://www.societe.com/bilan/pivi-co/501765119201212311.html|accessdate=4 January 2014}}

AgingBooth (making the subject look old) was released by PiVi & Co in February 2010, predating FatBooth. It has seen comparable success, ranking similarly on the iOS app store.{{cite web|title=AgingBooth iOS stats|url=http://www.iosnoops.com/appinfo/agingbooth-for-iphone-and-ipad/357467791|accessdate=4 January 2014}} However, unlike FatBooth, PiVi & Co doesn't make any official claims about AgingBooth's historical ranking in the app store, suggesting that it was less successful than FatBooth.{{cite web|title=AgingBooth iOS app store page|url=https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/agingbooth/id357467791?mt=8|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140521204940/https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/agingbooth/id357467791?mt=8|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 21, 2014|accessdate=4 January 2014}}
