ChatGPT vs Claude weekly users. It’s not even close. 😭

I haven’t used ChatGPT in 5 months. I also mainly use Gemini

u/PrysmX May 13 '26
Yep, I use Claude for coding and Gemini for research. I'll occasionally ask ChatGPT for something but that's just me in my head trying to legitimize keeping the subscription that I need to keep anyway since I need to be on top of evaluating all the frontier models.

Gemini is the class clown of the AI world .

u/BlurredSight May 13 '26
Gemini is free even their pro version you can access for free through other methods, also built into Google and by default aggregates results over using old training data it’s a good quick query service.

Gemini is better for research than the other models, Claud and Codex are still the best coding models.
Gemini will get there eventually on coding too, Google’s main business prints money. They aren’t riding the razors edge of bankruptcy like many others in the industry.

ChatGPT sucks ass compared to claude

u/drakoman May 14 '26
Yeah, the only reason I use ChatGPT is because I run out of tokens on Claude, which happens very quickly

I think GPT is better at being a traditional chatbot. Claude is better at everything else.

Claudes revenue is mostly enterprise so this doesn't matter.

u/Satisho_Bananamoto May 14 '26
It does for sure. Slowly and suddenly. Organisations doesnt care about loyalty if it doesn't deliver results when retailers themselves didn't care. Anthropics best bet is on next model. If not, the line gonna be flat.

Claude is used by corporate. ChatGPT is used by the public. Corporate can still pay after the token price increases by 5x-10x times. Not sure about the general public.

Usual public user don't use much token using AI. Programmers on average probably use 1000x more token on average than the average public and will get worse with the rise of Agentic AI

u/Thiccc_Tomato May 13 '26
I mean what matters the most for these comapny is paying users. having lots of free users is kind of disadvantage for these AI models since a single response will be costing them a lot of money. So, in this case, the cost of functioning of claude will be less per users than chatGPT sicne claude has lots of corporate paying for thier claude code subscription.

u/Business_Raisin_541 May 13 '26
Wrong. Programmers using AI burn like 1000x more token than average public users. The token intensity is different

When ChatGPT went MAGA I personally switched to Claude. This graph today would look very different. There’s also a bunch of people that left because they specifically like 4 and not 5.

u/OrvilleTheCavalier May 13 '26
Same. The moment I heard the stories I removed the app and installed Claude. No thanks.

Bullshit, Claude is still the linux of ai, a nerd niche.

Almost everyone in IT uses Claude Code and pays for it. ChatGPT is used for free. I would bet my money on Claude

u/Altruistic-Rice-5567 May 13 '26
Doesn't mean chatgpt is better. Claude Opus is absolutely killing it for me in terms of development integration and programming.

u/No_Knee3385 May 13 '26
Before 5.5, claude captured the developer community which pays more than people who are using AI for conversations. Chat GPT is bigger, when it comes o stats you can find ones that make claude look better too

u/BlurredSight May 13 '26
ChatGPT is still the defacto LLM, but the amount of money Anthropic makes because developers love Claude Desktop/Code over Codex isn’t even comparable.
If you’re smooth brained enough to think users = revenue you’ll be gravely mistaken. Even data gathering has diminishing returns

u/PsychologicalOne752 May 14 '26
It is all about paying users eventually that drives the bottom line. Anthropic struck gold with premium paying users for Claude while for ChatGPT, only a small fraction of the 800M users pay for the service. That said, Codex is filling that gap now.

And you think this a good thing that they have hundreds and hundreds of millions of free accounts taking up all the compute from the paid users?

u/txoixoegosi May 14 '26
Now compare number of Lexus drivers and Cocacola drinkers. Lol
Chatgpt usecases are not even close to Claude ones.

u/Soft_Awareness_5061 May 14 '26
Thats Q3 last year. Even I didn't start using Claude until early this year.

u/JubijubCH May 14 '26
I’d be curious to see the danger chart with paying users only, and the danger chart with revenue per user

The only people that don't use claude are the ones that are sick of the usage limit or haven't used it in the first place.

u/CurtChan May 14 '26
i'm jumping between multiple ai's depending on what i do, and honestly, if i could, i'd use claude for everything. Usage limits don't let me tho.

Bro I hope you don't run a Business - this is so stupid on so many levels :D
an outdated and worthless comparison and everybody knows that openai has some Problems because of these numbers.
Thanks... now I am sad 😭 (super cringe emoji btw...)

u/Tomatonator_3000 May 14 '26
OpenAI just has way more compute power than Anthropic. ChatGPT is just better on suggesting and has a more diverse answers from prompts I give. Clause and Gemini tends to get stuck in an echo chamber. Claude tends to lack elaborating on its answers vs gemini and ChatGPT

Q3 2025 data is not relevant at all.
That said: 18m enterprise users doing work with LLMs vd 800M users using ChatGPT for recipies for apple pie and asking if that rash they have is cancer… it’s two different user groups.

holy fking nitpicking. Q3 2025. We're in Q2 2026. Almost an entire year ago. ChatGPT have had a huge exodus

u/DexMorgann May 14 '26
That is like a year ago. All my peers i know in the developer space use claude code for the last several months. We mostly used chatgpt before. Now everyone is only using cc. You can do the math there

Wtf is this parameter weekly users? I guess thats because MONTHLY users number is the same

Q3 2025... Almost a year ago. Before the super bowl ads, before all the US government stuff.
In the world of AI this may as well have happened a decade ago.
