Overview

  • Users have installed ChatGPT about 690 million times since launch, including 318 million downloads in 2025 and an average of 45 million per month.
  • Global revenue per install averages $2.91, rising to about $10 per download in the United States, which makes up 38 percent of mobile spending.
  • Mobile earnings in 2025 for ChatGPT are roughly 53 times those of xAI’s Grok and about 30 times the combined spending on Claude and Copilot.
  • Grok’s later release of standalone apps on iOS in January and on Android in March helps explain its lower app-store revenue.
  • Appfigures’ data covers only in-app consumer spending and omits OpenAI’s revenue from web subscriptions, enterprise contracts, and API usage.
