Google Gemini Loses AI Race — Users Prefer ChatGPT and Meta AI

Gemini’s AI has about 350 million monthly users, significantly fewer than OpenAI’s ChatGPT and even Meta✴ AI, according to newly released court documents in which Google is a defendant.

According to The Information, during the ongoing antitrust lawsuit against Google, the company showed a slide at a recent court hearing detailing the number of active users of its Gemini AI assistant. According to the data, as of March 2025, Gemini had 350 million monthly active users worldwide. About 35 million people use Google’s AI every day. Despite lagging behind its competitors, Google has increased its share of Gemini users since October 2024. At that time, the AI ​​assistant was used by 9 million people daily, and the monthly audience was 90 million people.

Google presented these figures in the context of the US Department of Justice’s claim that the company should be blocked from expanding its dominance in search using AI. However, it is clear that Google is currently an underdog in this space. Compared to its numbers, OpenAI and Meta✴ are significantly ahead. TechCrunch reports that Meta✴ AI was approaching 500 million monthly users as of September 2024, while OpenAI recently claimed that ChatGPT has over 400 million weekly global users.

While the methods for calculating this data vary from company to company, it certainly indicates that Google is significantly behind OpenAI in terms of active users of its AI assistant. However, it remains unclear whether Google’s data includes Gemini integrations into products like Workspace and Gmail, which obviously have a much larger user base.
