The subscription was expanded to users outside the U.S. The $19.99 per month service offers a variety of extra perks, including general access during peak times, faster response times and early access to new features and improvements. Now, on the technology’s first anniversary, new data indicates the mobile app versions of ChatGPT have topped 110 million combined installs and have reached nearly $30 million in consumer spending, according to a market analysis provided to TechCrunch by mobile intelligence provider, data.ai.ĬhatGPT’s mobile apps make money by selling the ChatGPT Plus subscription via in-app purchases. A large part of that effort was driven by the release of the ChatGPT mobile app, whose May 2023 launch on iOS put the chatbot into more consumers’ hands, later followed by a July 2023 release on Android.
It’s officially been one year since ChatGPT launched, taking the world by storm as the research preview turned into an everyday tool that brought AI chatbot technology to mainstream users.
