It took 16 weeks, but Anthropic’s AI app Claude has passed a major milestone: it has surpassed $1 million in mobile app revenue for iOS and Android. According to mobile app analytics company Appfigures, almost half of Claude’s revenue came from US users.

Despite the important achievement, Claude is still far behind its main competitor, ChatGPT. OpenAI’s iOS app ranks first in total downloads and 26th in revenue in the United States. At the same time, Claude is in 95th place in the Productivity category in terms of downloads and 68th in terms of revenue in the same category.

Earlier this year, the media wrote that the Claude mobile application received a weak response in the first week of its existence on the market – users around the world downloaded it 157 thousand times. For comparison, the ChatGPT app was downloaded 480 thousand times in the first five days after its launch in the US on iOS alone. According to Appfigures, Claude’s best result in the US was 55th place in the ranking of free apps on iOS, which it achieved within a few days of launch.
Despite this, Claude’s developers managed to get their first million in revenue faster than other competitors promoting AI applications. While Claude is significantly behind ChatGPT, which took just three weeks to reach $1 million in revenue, it has surpassed Microsoft’s Copilot and Perplexity, which achieved the same feat 19 and 22 weeks after launch, respectively.
