"This figure represents the total spending on iOS and Android devices since the app's launch in May 2023, when it first arrived, then only on iOS. What's notable is that the bulk of that spending took place this year. Worldwide, consumers spent an estimated $2.48 billion in the ChatGPT mobile app in 2025, representing a 408% year-over-year increase from the $487 million spent in 2024. In 2023, the app's first year of availability, it earned $42.9 million, before growing 1,036% to reach the 2024 figure."
"These numbers represent a sharp rise in consumer adoption, compared with other popular apps. For instance, it took ChatGPT 31 months to reach $3 billion in consumer spending, but the top earner, TikTok, took 58 months to do so, Appfigures told TechCrunch. ChatGPT also reached the milestone faster than top streaming apps like Disney+ and HBO Max, which hit the $3 billion figure in 42 months and 46 months, respectively."

Mobile customers purchase subscriptions like ChatGPT Plus and Pro while apps can also pursue other revenue streams.
