The numbers tell a story no rival wants to read.
$2 Billion. That’s how much ChatGPT’s mobile app has pulled in since launching in May 2023 — a number that makes every rival look like they’re still in warm-up mode.
The latest Appfigures data shows:
$1.35B earned in 2025 alone (Jan–July), up 673% YoY
$193M per month vs. Grok’s $3.6M
53x more mobile revenue than its nearest competitor
It’s not just revenue. ChatGPT’s 690M installs crush Grok’s 39.5M. India leads in downloads (13.7%), but the U.S. spends the most — an average of $10 per download.
What’s driving this? Early market entry, standalone apps on both iOS & Android, and a consumer willingness to pay that rivals haven’t matched.
For competitors, the mobile AI race isn’t just uphill — it’s vertical.
Question: If the market leader is this far ahead, will AI competition survive… or consolidate?
