In April 2026, ChatGPT accounted for 53.7% of all visits to AI chatbot websites, according to Similarweb, down from the 77.6% of AI chatbot website visits it accounted for one year prior. Over that same period, web visits to Gemini and Claude surged. In April, Gemini accounted for 26.7% of all AI web visits (up from about 7% the year prior) while Claude represented about 8% of AI chatbot web visits (up from roughly 1% the year before).<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=144\">Bessent Confirms Plans For Putting Trump On $250 Bill<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Is Chatgpt Plateauing?<\/h2>\n<p>Though ChatGPT still maintains a strong lead over competitors, its web traffic has hardly budged this year, according to Similarweb. ChatGPT\u2019s global web traffic is up just 7% year-over-year as of April, logging an average of 183.7 million web visits per day that month\u2014which is actually a slight decrease from the 184.6 million daily average web visits it logged in January. Similarly, ChatGPT\u2019s total number of daily active users on mobile apps has barely moved in 2026 so far, according to Similarweb. In April, ChatGPT had an average of 245 million daily active users on mobile apps worldwide, just a slight increase from the 241 million average daily active users it logged in January, Similarweb data shows.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Is Claude Surging?<\/h2>\n<p>Claude experienced a sudden surge of app downloads earlier this year when Anthropic publicly clashed with the Department of Defense over a contract dispute, raising the chatbot\u2019s national profile and sparking a still-going feud between the AI company and the Trump administration. In February, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wrote a blog post saying he objected to the administration\u2019s use of Anthropic technology for mass domestic surveillance and to power autonomous weapons, prompting a swift rebuke from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk to national security, and President Donald Trump, who called it a \u201cradical left, woke\u201d company. Over the following week, Claude app downloads surged 55% week-over-week, according to data from Similarweb. OpenAI\u2014which swiftly struck a deal with the Defense Department amid its clash with Anthropic\u2014saw a 5.6% decrease in app downloads for ChatGPT over the same period, according to Similarweb, as some users urged a ChatGPT boycott. Amid the Defense Department drama, Anthropic unveiled a feature that would allow users to import their data from other chatbots to Claude, making Claude instantly familiar with the user\u2019s background and preferences, in an apparent bid to siphon users from competitors. Greg Feingold, a special projects manager at Anthropic, shared the update in a post on X, saying: \u201cReady to make the switch?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=142\">\u2018Power To The People\u2019 Protest Fest Names High-Powered Lineup\u2014As Trump\u2019s \u2018Great American State Fair\u2019 Faces Dropouts<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>What To Watch For<\/h2>\n<p>OpenAI is preparing to file for an initial public offering shortly, the Wall Street Journal reported last week, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter, with the goal of going public by September.
