ChatGPT App Store downloads are rocketing, but other apps exceed mobile revenue

If you told me there was an AI app on the App Store that makes more money than ChatGPT, I’d be a little skeptical. But if you told me there were 4 or 5, I’d think you’re playing a prank on me.

But turns out that’s just the case. Despite the fact that ChatGPT leads the charts for most downloads with 23 million+ installs, there are a number of AI photo and even chatbot mobile apps that bring in more money than ChatGPT.

“Chat & Ask AI” and “ChatOn — AI Chat Bot Assistant” are two apps that have generated more in sales revenue last month. The former with nearly $3.38 million and the latter with $2.11 million.

2 other chatbots called “AI Chatbot — Nova” and “AI Chatbot: AI Chat Smith” brought in over $1 million in revenue as well.

ChatGPT generated $1.98 million in mobile consumer spend as of last month. However, other AI apps like Remini ($6.22 million), PicsArt ($2.08 million) and Wonder ($4.78 million) generated more in mobile consumer spend.

While there’s a long list of mobile apps doing more mobile revenue than ChatGPT, it’s important to remember that mobile revenue is only one part of a larger picture. ChatGPT also sells subscriptions through the web and likely generates significantly more revenue through that channel.

TOGETHER WITH MASTERWORKS

This market with 63% price growth isn't just for billionaires anymore…

Over the last 20 years, record prices achieved for Banksy’s art have grown at an astounding 63% compound annual rate. Even more impressive? It's not just the ultra-wealthy benefiting from this phenomenal growth. Thanks to Masterworks.

Masterworks enables its 820,000+ users to access investments in multi-million dollar artworks by artists like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso for just a fraction of the cost of an entire piece.

When Masterworks sells a painting, like the 16 it’s already sold, investors can get a return on their investment. With 3 recent sales, Masterworks investors realized net annualized returns of 17.6%, 21.5% and 35%.

INSIGHT

Practica introduces AI-powered career coaching for professionals

Practica

The internet has been flooded with ChatGPT career growth tips recently. From resume editing tips to career coaching prompts, social media apps and news websites have been awash with career-oriented AI content.

Now, an AI app called Practica is productizing the demand for AI-powered career coaching and mentorship. Practica claims that its AI system has been developed with years of knowledge from a large group of human coaches.

On their website, Practica claims that users can “excel at your work with domain-specific coaching” and “work with our expert-trained AI to get vetted answers tailored to your situation and goals.“

Practica claims to help users across a range of professions that include:

  • Engineering

  • Product Management

  • Design

  • Marketing

  • Data Science

  • Sales

  • Customer Success

According to the website Practica works in 3 steps:

  • Starting with your goals and challenges

  • Providing concrete action items and instruction

  • And holding you accountable to your goals

Coaching and mentorship have seen an uptick in interest in recent years with bestseller books like Trillion Dollar Coach and The Coaching Habit. However, top-tier coaching and mentorship remain expensive and out of reach for most professionals. AI-powered mentoring tools built on top of real-world expertise could prove to be a cheaper alternative in the coming years.
