Emerging Chatbots Challenge ChatGPT’s Dominance

While ChatGPT leads, competitors like Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and Grok are rapidly growing their user bases.

ChatGPT by OpenAI? Still the big name in chatbots, no doubt. But guess what? The underdogs are catching up fast. Thanks to data crunchers like Similarweb and Sensor Tower, we’re seeing some serious action from the likes of Google’s Gemini, Microsoft’s Copilot, Anthropic’s Claude, and that wildcard, xAI’s Grok. It’s like watching a tech thriller unfold.

March was a rollercoaster. Gemini’s web traffic jumped 7.4%, hitting 10.9 million visits a day—not too shabby. Copilot? A modest 2.1% uptick to 2.4 million. Claude pulled in 3.3 million daily visitors, while DeepSeek and Grok each bagged a whopping 16.5 million. Though, let’s not ignore DeepSeek’s 25% nosedive from February. Ouch.

And it’s not just the web. These chatbots are killing it on mobile too, especially with shiny new AI models dropping left and right. Claude’s app users spiked by 21% post Claude 3.7 Sonnet launch. Gemini? A staggering 42% boost after Gemini 2.0 Flash hit the scene. Talk about making an entrance.

Now, don’t get it twisted—ChatGPT is still the Goliath here with over 500 million users weekly. But with these Davids growing at breakneck speed, the AI chatbot arena is anything but boring. Strap in; it’s going to be a wild ride.
