- ChatGPT recorded 5.3 billion website visits in June 2026, according to AITools.xyz.
- Its traffic was higher than the combined visits recorded by the next 14 platforms.
- Google Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude followed in second and third place.
- US-based companies dominated the ranking, although Canva, DeepSeek and Magnific also featured.
- The figures measure website visits only and exclude mobile app and API usage.
ChatGPT has strengthened its position as the most visited artificial intelligence platform on the web after recording an estimated 5.3 billion visits in June 2026. The figure puts OpenAI’s chatbot well ahead of every other AI service included in a new ranking published by AITools.xyz.
The traffic gap is particularly striking when ChatGPT is compared with the rest of the field. The next 14 platforms on the ranking collectively generated about 4.7 billion visits during the same month. That means ChatGPT alone attracted more web traffic than all those services combined.
The figures are based on website traffic data modelled from SEMrush and Ahrefs. They should therefore be viewed as an indication of web popularity rather than a complete measure of how many people use each AI service.
Google’s Gemini took second place after recording approximately 1.14 billion visits during June. Anthropic’s Claude followed closely in third with 967.9 million visits, showing that the competition behind ChatGPT remains significant.
Even so, the difference between the leading chatbot and its closest rivals remains substantial. ChatGPT received more than four times Gemini’s reported traffic and over five times the visits recorded by Claude. The figures underline the scale of OpenAI’s lead in standalone AI website traffic.
Canva ranked fourth with 759.8 million visits. The design platform has continued expanding its artificial intelligence features, allowing users to incorporate AI-powered tools into its broader creative workflow.
Google Translate occupied fifth position with 343 million visits, demonstrating that AI-related traffic extends beyond conversational chatbots. DeepSeek followed with 318.8 million visits, giving the Chinese AI company a strong position among the world’s most visited AI platforms.
Grok, developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, ranked seventh after recording 189.9 million visits. The platform has become one of the more prominent competitors in the generative AI space as xAI continues expanding its ecosystem.
The ranking also included platforms that serve more specialised audiences. JanitorAI recorded 173.2 million visits, while Character AI attracted 165.5 million. Their combined traffic reached approximately 338.7 million visits.
The figures show how broad the AI market has become. Perplexity recorded 130.7 million visits, while Microsoft Copilot had 92.7 million. Notion followed with 110.6 million, while Zoom recorded 96.2 million visits.
Suno, an AI music-generation platform, also appeared among the leading services with 81.8 million visits. Magnific, an AI image-upscaling platform operated by Freepik, completed the top 15.
The mix of services shows that people are increasingly using AI for different tasks. These include answering questions, searching for information, designing graphics, creating music, improving images, managing work and engaging in character-based conversations.
American companies accounted for 12 of the 15 most visited AI platforms on the list. The strong showing reflects the continued influence of US technology firms in the development and commercial rollout of generative AI products.
Canva was the biggest non-US platform in the ranking. The company is headquartered in Australia, while DeepSeek represents China and Magnific is based in Spain.
The geographical spread also points to the increasingly global nature of the AI industry. While American firms continue to dominate the largest platforms, companies from other regions are attracting significant audiences with specialised and general-purpose AI products.
Google’s position is particularly interesting given the company’s massive global digital ecosystem. Gemini’s 1.14 billion visits placed it comfortably in second position, but its traffic remained far below ChatGPT’s level.
Gemini and Google Translate together generated roughly 1.48 billion visits during June. That was still less than a third of ChatGPT’s reported 5.3 billion visits.
However, website traffic does not tell the entire story for Google’s AI products. Gemini features are increasingly available across Google’s wider ecosystem, meaning some interactions can happen through integrated services rather than directly through the Gemini website.
The same issue applies to Microsoft’s Copilot. Its reported 92.7 million website visits do not capture people accessing Copilot through Windows, Microsoft 365 and other Microsoft products.
Why the numbers need some caution
The AITools.xyz ranking provides useful insight into the scale of AI websites, but it does not represent total AI usage around the world. The methodology focuses on website visits and excludes activity taking place through mobile applications and APIs.
That distinction could be important for platforms with large mobile audiences or extensive integrations into other software. A service may therefore have considerably more users or interactions than its standalone website figures suggest.
Still, the numbers provide a clear picture of ChatGPT’s strength on the open web. With 5.3 billion visits in a single month, OpenAI’s chatbot has established a substantial lead over the other AI platforms measured by the ranking.
The growing traffic to AI platforms reflects how quickly artificial intelligence has become part of everyday online activity. Users are increasingly turning to AI for research, writing, productivity, entertainment, design and other digital tasks.
The competition is also becoming more diverse. Instead of relying solely on general-purpose chatbots, companies are building AI into search engines, office software, creative applications, operating systems and entertainment platforms.
For now, ChatGPT remains comfortably ahead in standalone website traffic. Whether that lead continues will depend on how aggressively rivals such as Gemini, Claude, Grok and DeepSeek expand their products and how much AI usage shifts from dedicated websites into apps and integrated digital services.
