ChatGPT Mobile App Revenue Dominates AI Assistant Market

OpenAI's ChatGPT has generated over $2 billion in mobile app revenue since 2023, dwarfing competitors by a 30:1 margin. The app's 2025 performance shows particularly explosive growth, with $1.35 billion earned through July—a 673% increase from the same period last year. Monthly spending now averages $193 million, compared to $25 million in 2024.

Competitors struggle to gain traction. Grok, the nearest rival, has generated just $25.6 million in 2025 with monthly spending at $3.6 million—barely 1.9% of ChatGPT's volume. These figures exclude web subscriptions and API revenue, suggesting an even wider gap in total market penetration.

The U.S. drives 38% of ChatGPT's revenue, with users spending $10 per download—nearly triple the global average of $2.91. Germany emerges as another key market, though specific figures remain undisclosed. This revenue dominance reflects ChatGPT's first-mover advantage and strong brand recognition in the AI assistant space.
