According to Similarweb, ChatGPT's share of web traffic for AI chatbot sites has risen to 55,5%. Previously, it stood at 73,3% in a year-over-year comparison, indicating a reduction in the service's dominance.
Simultaneously, Gemini doubled its share over the year, while Claude increased its share nearly fivefold. Mobile apps and desktop clients are not included in this calculation, meaning the metric describes web traffic only.
For the market, this signifies that ChatGPT's current share recovery is occurring against a backdrop of stronger competition compared to last year. However, the reported material is based on a single independent retelling of Similarweb data, rather than a primary statement from the company or a complete set of source data.
editorial commentary
Why it matters
The likely implication is that competition for web audiences will remain high, despite ChatGPT's current recovery. The next observable signal will be the subsequent comparable Similarweb report containing data on web, mobile apps, and desktop clients. Significant uncertainty stems from the absence of methodology and absolute traffic values in the material.
