ChatGPT Leads Consumer AI Market; Claude Rises to Third with Nearly 1 Billion Visits
Andreessen Horowitz's latest report ranks ChatGPT as the leading consumer AI app with over one billion monthly active mobile users. Claude has risen to third place on the web with nearly one billion monthly visits, closely competing with Gemini in paid subscribers. Despite widespread AI usage among nearly half of U.S. consumers, only 25% engage daily, and just 4.5% hold active paid subscriptions. The report highlights that top spenders focus on coding, productivity, and creative tools, suggesting consumer AI's primary market is users paying for work-related applications.
