We Ranked Every AI App and Here Are the highest Earners
This is a single insight from This Week in Apps - Big Opportunities for AI Apps. Check out the full article for more insights.
Can you guess which AI app is making the most money? If you've been listening to me for long enough, you know the answer is ChatGPT. Our AI report confirms it. We estimate that since 2023, ChatGPT's mobile app grossed $529M.
Does anyone else still have a chance?
Yes, yes they do.
ChatOn, a wrapper on top of ChatGPT, is the second-highest earner in our list. Our App Intelligence shows it grossed $135M in the last two years. That's more than most apps generated in the last 5 years!
Chat & Ask AI by Codeway came in third in our ranking. If you remember 2023, you'll remember Ask AI being one of the first thin wrappers to hit the App Store even before ChatGPT released its mobile app. Being early paid off and landed the app $109M of gross revenue in the last two years, based on the report.
Third place ChatBox and fifth place AI Chat Smith combined for $149M of gross revenue, according to our estimates.
You know what else? The two are also thin wrappers. In fact, the entire top 10 highest-earning AI apps are all General Assistants. I didn't expect that when I first looked at the data and had to pull it twice to make sure.
I said this before, but it's worth asking again - is your app doing too much? Grab the full report for a deeper dive into the General Assistants category (page 36).
