It’s been one year since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, captivating the world with its AI chatbot prowess. From a research preview to an everyday tool, this chatbot has become a mainstream favorite. And a big part of that success can be attributed to its mobile app, which made its grand entrance on iOS in May 2023, followed by an Android release in July of the same year.
Now, on its first anniversary, we have some juicy data to chew on. The mobile app versions of ChatGPT have racked up an impressive 110 million installs and nearly $30 million in consumer spending. That’s a whole lot of people engaging in some chit-chat with their AI friend.
But how does ChatGPT make its money, you ask? Well, it’s all about that ChatGPT Plus subscription. For $19.99 a month, users get access to a bunch of extra perks, like faster response times and early access to new features. It’s like having the VIP pass to the AI party.
While the subscription may seem a bit pricey compared to your average streaming service, it hasn’t deterred consumers. In fact, demand for ChatGPT Plus has only grown over time. And with a total of $28.6 million in global consumer spending, it’s safe to say that this chatbot is raking in the dough.
Now, ChatGPT may not be the top chatbot when it comes to revenue, but it’s certainly holding its own. In terms of downloads, it’s beating out other generative AI apps left and right, with a whopping 110 million installs and counting. And it’s not just popular in one country – India and the U.S. are in a tight race for the title of ChatGPT’s biggest fanbases.
So, what’s next for this chatty AI? Well, according to data.ai, ChatGPT is poised to add even more installs and revenue by the end of 2023. Looks like the conversation is far from over for this lively chatbot.
