ChatGPT’s mobile app hits new milestone of $3B in consumer spending

The ChatGPT mobile app has achieved a worldwide consumer spending milestone of $3 billion across iOS and Android as of this week, according to Appfigures. The majority of this revenue, $2.48 billion, was generated in 2025, marking a 408% year-over-year increase from the $487 million spent in 2024. This adoption pace is notably faster than competitors; it took ChatGPT 31 months to reach $3 billion, while TikTok required 58 months, and streaming apps like Disney+ and HBO Max took 42 and 46 months, respectively. While this spending reflects consumer adoption via paid subscriptions like ChatGPT Plus, AI app revenue can also stem from developer offerings or future advertising, as OpenAI recently launched its own app store concept. Competitors like xAI's Grok show a similar revenue trajectory, and Anthropic is targeting significant business revenue.
