Breaking News: Anthropic's AI App Claude Surpasses $1 Million in Mobile App Revenue, But Lags Behind Top Rival ChatGPT in the U.S.
In a groundbreaking achievement, Anthropic's AI app Claude has reached a significant milestone by crossing $1 million in gross mobile app revenue on both iOS and Android platforms. According to the latest data from leading app intelligence firm Appfigures, nearly half of this revenue has been generated by users in the U.S.
Despite this impressive feat, Claude still trails behind its top competitor ChatGPT, which holds the number one spot in overall downloads and ranks 26th in revenue in the U.S. on iOS. Claude is currently ranked 95th in the Productivity category by downloads and 68th in revenue within that category.
Earlier this year, Claude's mobile app had a slow start with only 157,000 global downloads in its first week on the market. In contrast, ChatGPT saw 480,000 installs within the first five days of its iOS-only launch in the U.S. While Claude briefly reached the 55th spot on the top free iPhone app charts shortly after its iOS debut, it still has a long way to go to catch up to its competitors.
Despite these challenges, Claude managed to achieve its first million in revenue faster than other AI app rivals. While ChatGPT reached this milestone in just three weeks, Claude outpaced Microsoft's CoPilot and Perplexity, which took 19 and 22 weeks, respectively.
The largest market for Claude in terms of downloads is the U.S., accounting for 32.5% of installs, followed by India, Japan, the U.K., and Germany. Similarly, the U.S. leads in revenue share for Claude, followed by Japan, Germany, the U.K., and South Korea.
Looking ahead, Claude may face even tougher competition with the upcoming launch of Apple Intelligence, which will offer Siri users direct access to ChatGPT on their iPhones. This could pose new challenges for Claude in the mobile consumer market.
In summary, while Claude has made significant progress by reaching $1 million in mobile app revenue, it still has a long way to go to catch up to its top rival ChatGPT. Investors and consumers should keep an eye on these developments to gauge the future success of Anthropic's AI app in the competitive mobile app market.
