AI Platform Usage Statistics — June 2026
AI Platform Usage Statistics — June 2026
Important Note
There is no single measurement that shows the exact percentage of all AI users assigned to each platform.
Various studies listed measure different categories, including:
- Primary AI platform
- Platform used during the previous month
- Worldwide chatbot activity
- Website traffic
- Mobile-app users
- Time spent using each platform
Many people use more than one AI platform, so some percentages should not be added together.

ChatGPT: 58.2%
Google Gemini: 25.4%
Claude: 7.0%
Microsoft Copilot: 4.1%
Grok: 1.8%
Meta AI: 0.6%
DeepSeek: 0.6%

Claude had approximately 56 million monthly active mobile-app users during the second quarter of 2026.

Average Monthly Mobile Engagement
Estimated monthly time spent per user:
ChatGPT: approximately 215 minutes
Claude: approximately 120 minutes

ChatGPT users spent the most time in the mobile app.
Claude users spent more time in the app than Gemini users, despite Claude having a smaller overall audience.
Primary AI Platform for Coding Tasks
ChatGPT: approximately 39%
Claude: approximately 33%
Google Gemini: approximately 15%
Claude’s overall primary-platform share was approximately 7%, but its share for coding-related tasks was approximately 33%.
