While ChatGPT continues to dominate as the world’s most widely-used chatbot application, emerging competitors are rapidly closing the gap according to prominent analytics platforms. Industry observers highlight significant momentum across multiple AI platforms in recent months.
Web Traffic Surges Across Platforms
Latest data shows Google’s Gemini achieved 10.9 million daily web visits in March (+7.4% monthly growth), while Microsoft’s Copilot reached 2.4 million daily visits (+2.1%). Anthropic’s Claude platform recorded 3.3 million average daily visits during the same period.
Chinese AI innovation continues making waves as DeepSeek’s chatbot attracted 16.5 million daily visitors in March, matching the traffic of Elon Musk’s xAI Grok platform which saw an explosive 800% monthly increase since launching its web interface.
Mobile Adoption Accelerates
Sensor Tower’s mobile app analysis reveals significant spikes following major updates:
- Claude: 21% weekly active user growth after Claude 3.7 Sonnet release
- Gemini: 42% weekly user increase post Gemini 2.0 Flash rollout
Product enhancements appear crucial to adoption rates. Recent innovations include Google’s coding canvas previews and Claude’s expanded desktop integration capabilities.
Key Market Observations
Industry analysts note:
“While OpenAI maintains leadership with 500M+ weekly ChatGPT users, the battle for secondary positions intensifies. Grok’s meteoric rise and DeepSeek’s strong regional presence demonstrate the chatbot market’s dynamic evolution.”
As feature sets expand across platforms, users increasingly adopt specialized tools for coding assistance, creative projects, and productivity enhancement. However, ChatGPT’s mobile dominance remains unchallenged, currently boasting ten times more active users than Gemini and Claude combined.
