ChatGPT Mobile App Revenue Hits $2B, $2.91 Per Download
Record-Breaking ChatGPT Mobile App Revenue
ChatGPT mobile app revenue has reached $2 billion in global consumer spending since launching in May 2023, according to data from app intelligence provider Appfigures. This milestone is paired with an impressive $2.91 in lifetime spending per download, setting a monetization benchmark for the AI assistant market.
Between January and July 2025, the app generated $1.35 billion—up 673% from $174 million in the same period in 2024. Average monthly revenue now stands at $193 million, compared to $25 million last year. This performance puts ChatGPT nearly 30 times ahead of the combined lifetime revenue of mobile rivals Claude, Copilot, and Grok.
Competitors Trail in Both Revenue and Monetization
Grok, the nearest competitor, has earned just $25.6 million in 2025 so far—about 1.9% of ChatGPT’s mobile app revenue. Its lifetime spending per download is $0.75, well below ChatGPT’s $2.91. Claude follows at $2.55 per download, while Copilot lags behind at $0.28.
Launch strategy has played a role in this gap. While ChatGPT entered the mobile market early, Grok only launched a standalone iOS app in January 2025 and joined Google Play in March, limiting its time to build traction.
U.S. Market Leads in Per-Download Spending
In the U.S., ChatGPT’s per-download spending reaches $10, accounting for 38% of the app’s lifetime revenue. Germany ranks second with 5.3%, showing a strong international adoption pattern.
Globally, the app has been downloaded 690 million times—far ahead of Grok’s 39.5 million installs. Average monthly downloads are now at 45 million, up 180% from early 2024.
Global Adoption Drives Revenue Growth
In 2025 alone, ChatGPT has been downloaded 318 million times, 2.8 times more than during the same period last year. India is the top market by installs, contributing 13.7% of lifetime downloads, followed by the U.S. with 10.3%.
These numbers highlight a combination of widespread adoption and strong monetization efficiency. With both total revenue and per-download earnings leading the market, ChatGPT maintains a clear advantage over competitors in the mobile AI assistant space.
Will competitors narrow this gap through aggressive growth strategies, or will ChatGPT’s early lead and high monetization secure long-term dominance?
