ChatGPT: Still the Undisputed Leader

ChatGPT continues to dominate the chatbot space with over 46.5 billion visits in 2025. This represents 48.36% of the total chatbot market traffic, four times more than the combined visits of the other 10 chatbots. Its year-over-year growth of 106% also shows it is not just maintaining, but expanding its lead.

DeepSeek emerged as the second most-used chatbot, tallying 2.74 billion visits—a huge 48,848% increase from last year. Gemini and Claude follow with 1.66B and 1.15B visits respectively, posting strong growth rates. Still, none come close to ChatGPT’s reach.

A Fragmented Landscape of Contenders

New and niche entrants like Grok (from X) and Perplexity are growing fast, but remain distant in terms of traffic. Poe, despite its early popularity, saw a sharp -46% drop in traffic. Meanwhile, Mistral and Meta AI are gaining ground, though their market shares remain under 1%.
