How much does ChatGPT make per month?

Based on our ML-calibrated revenue forecast, ChatGPT earns approximately $600K/mo. This is a US-storefront-equivalent estimate; global revenue can be several times larger for internationally-distributed apps. See the methodology page for the full formula and confidence bands.

Is ChatGPT profitable?

With estimated build cost $100K and monthly revenue $600K, ChatGPT looks highly profitable — pays back its build investment in under a month at the current run-rate. Profitability also depends on paid-acquisition spend and refund rate which the public model doesn't see.

How many users does ChatGPT have?

Estimated audience: ~1957.0M lifetime downloads, ~356.5M monthly active users, and ~71.0M daily active users. Derived from ratings count × category installs-per-rating × age decay. US-storefront-equivalent — global audience can be 5-10× larger for internationally-distributed apps.

What apps are like ChatGPT?

Browse the full Utilities category catalog to find similar apps with revenue, build cost, audience and tech stack data. Each /p/{slug} page also shows a Compare side-by-side widget with three peer apps from the same niche.

What is ChatGPT built with?

Our heuristic places ChatGPT on the Native iOS (SwiftUI) stack (Medium confidence, 55%). Signals: app bundle size, category context, store-description markers, release-date era. We don't disassemble binaries. Alternative possibilities: React Native, Flutter.

Is ChatGPT still actively maintained?

Maintenance status: Likely abandoned (88% abandonment risk). Last shipped version was 3+ years ago. The risk score combines time-since-last-update with Editor's Choice / curated featuring + user-base maturity adjustments.

How much would ChatGPT sell for?

Estimated acquisition value: $12.0M (marketplace range $9.0M – $15.5M). Calculated as 20× monthly revenue using the standard multiple for the detected monetization model + adjustments for age, rating quality and category demand. Calibrated against 2024-2026 Flippa / Acquire.com / MicroAcquire closed-deal medians.

When was ChatGPT last updated?

ChatGPT last shipped a new version on 2023-05-24 — more than 3 year(s) ago. This is the date Apple / Google last accepted a new build, not a content-only push.

ChatGPT is published by OpenAI OpCo, LLC on the Apple App Store. See the full publisher portfolio (other apps by the same developer) via the More by developer block on the product page above.

What is ChatGPT's BU Score?

ChatGPT has a BU Score of 94/100 (Transcendent). The score combines App Store rating, ratings count, monetization model and revenue signals calibrated against founder-verified MRR anchors. See the BU Score formula.

✍️ Bumetric analysis

“

This Productivity app from OpenAI OpCo, LLC targets users seeking advanced AI interaction, directly competing with other large language model interfaces and AI image generators. Its high user rating from millions of reviews indicates exceptional user satisfaction and massive adoption, signaling a mature product with established market fit. Despite being free-to-use, the app generates a modest monthly revenue, likely from API integrations or enterprise partnerships not immediately apparent to the end-user. For this category, a common monetization strategy involves freemium tiers for advanced features like higher usage limits, more sophisticated models, or specialized tools, which could significantly scale revenue beyond its current performance without alienating its large free user base.

BU Score 94 · Transcendent — category-leading momentum. The full Investment Matrix below scores 8 dimensions including monetisation, growth, and operational risk.
