Written by Matt Walsh | Reviewed and edited by Chris Singleton

In this ChatGPT statistics overview, you’ll find all the key figures about the chatbot that is currently taking the world by storm. From userbase size and running costs to investors and projected revenue, you’ll find a host of interesting ChatGPT statistics and facts below…

What is ChatGPT?

• ChatGPT is a chatbot (or, in technical terms, a ‘large language model’) created by US-based artificial intelligence company OpenAI. When you ask ChatGPT a question, it draws on a huge body of textual data — large chunks of content found on the Internet, many books, all of Wikipedia — to provide you with a human-like answer to it. You can also ask ChatGPT to create content for you — it can write poems, create computer code, translate languages, provide article structures and do much else besides. (Source: OpenAI.)

Who owns ChatGPT?

• ChatGPT is owned by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research laboratory based in San Francisco. The company consists of two parts: OpenAI Incorporated (non-profit) and OpenAI Limited Partnership (for-profit). This combination of a ‘non-profit’ and ‘for-profit’ company structure is reportedly in place to allow OpenAI to be able to legally attract investment from major investors, while giving company employees equity in the company.

How many people use ChatGPT?

• ChatGPT is the the fastest-growing consumer software application ever. It gained 100 million users within a few months its launch in Novemebr 2022. As of April 2025, it is reported that ChatGPT currently has more than 400 million weekly users. (Source: Reuters.)
• To put ChatGPT’s phenomenal user acquisition rate into perspective, it took TikTok nine months to achieve its first 100 million users. Other mega-successful apps took much much longer to do so — Facebook took almost 5 years; Canva took 9 years; and Instagram needed 2.5 years to reach 100 million users. This was a feat achieved by ChatGPT in a mere 60 days or so. (Sources: Reuters and Canva.)
• ChatGPT obtained 1 million users within 5 days of its initial launch in November 2022. The app that came closest to acquiring one million users this quickly is Instagram, which gained 1 million users after around two and a half months after launch — 70 days, or 1500% more slowly than ChatGPT. (Source: Statista.)
• In April 2025, ChatGPT’s website averaged over 134 million visitors every day. (Source: Similar Web.)

How much traffic does the ChatGPT website get?

• According to Semrush data, the Chat GPT website received
• We know that ChatGPT has over 400 million users, but traffic to its website is significantly higher than that. In April 2025, it is estimated that there were more than 4.6 billion visits to ChatGPT in total. (Source: Semrush.)

• ChatGPT’s 400+ million users are spread across the globe, but the country with the largest proportion of users is the United States, which is estimated to account for over 15% of them. India is thought to have the second largest ChatGPT userbase, accounting for an estimated 13.5%+ of all users. (Source: Similar Web.)
• It is estimated that 56% of social media traffic to ChatGPT starts on Reddit, compared to 18% on Facebook, 16% on YouTube, and 9% on Facebook. (Source: Similar Web.)

How much does it cost to run ChatGPT?

• Software industry experts have estimated that running costs for ChatGPT range somewhere between $100,000 and $700,000 per day or $3-$21 million per month. ChatGPT sits on top of Microsoft’s Azure Cloud infrastructure, which charges around $3 per hour for a single A100GPU super computer cluster. (Source: Tom Goldstein and Business Insider.)
• Given that the average ChatGPT answer is around 30 words, the company is estimated by some commentators to pay approximately one cent for every user query — this works out at about $0.03 per word generated by ChatGPT. (Source: Tom Goldstein.)
• OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is on the record as saying the running costs for ChatGPT are extremely high. In response to a Twitter user, he said: “we will have to monetize it somehow at some point; the compute costs are eye-watering“. (Source: Sam Altman.)
• Of course, server costs and a virtual supercomputer framework form only some of the costs associated with running ChatGPT. Another cost is paying the people who built it. At time of writing, OpenAI employs roughly 770 people. Employment website Glassdoor estimates that employee salaries at OpenAi range from $54Kper annum for the position of ‘IT support’ up to $370K for ‘Research Scientist’. However, other AI industry-watchers provide much larger salary estimates for OpenAI. For example, employment website Levels.fyi estimates that a level 6 software technician at OpenAi earns approximately $1.34 million per year, made up of a base salary of around $379K and stock options valued at $960K. (Sources: Wikipedia, Glassdoor and Levels.fyi.)

How much does it cost to use ChatGPT?

• There are 5 main pricing options for ChatGPT: a free version, ‘ChatGPT Plus’ ($20 per month), ‘ChatGPT Pro’ ($200 per month), ‘ChatGPT Teams’ ($25 per user per month) and ‘ChatGPT Enterprise’ (custom pricing). (Source: OpenAI.)
• The free version provides access to ‘GPT-4o mini,’ a lightweight variant of GPT-4 designed for basic tasks with limited capabilities compared to the full version. (Source: OpenAI.)
• ‘ChatGPT Plus,’ which involves a $20 per month fee, gives users access to the the full version of ChatGPT-4o. The ‘Plus’ plan also gives users access to custom GPTs, voice mode, a research preview of GPT4.5, and includes extended allowances with regard to messaging, file uploads and image generation. (Source: OpenAI.)
• ‘ChatGPT Pro’ ($200 per month)provides unlimited access to both GPT-4o and GPT-o1. It also offers a ‘pro mode’, which uses extra computing power to provide the best answers to the hardest questions you input into the tool. (Source: OpenAI.)
• The ChatGPT ‘Team’ plan provides workspace management features to allow multiple users collaborate via ChatGPT. This plan costs $25 per user per month when paying annually (or $30 per month on a month-by-month basis). Any data that team members input into ChatGPT via their workspace is excluded from ChatGPT’s training dataset. (Source: Open AI.).

How long did it take to train ChatGPT?

• Some ChatGPT commentators have estimated that if ChatGPT was to be trained on a single NVIDIA Tesla V100 ‘Graphics Processing Unit’ (GPU) that it would take around 355 years to complete ChatGPT’s training on its training dataset. However, OpenAI reportedly used 1,023 A100 GPUs to train ChatGPT, so it is possible that the training process was completed in as little as 34 days. (Source: Lambda Labs.)
• The costs of training ChatGPT is estimated to be just under $5 million dollars. (Source: Lambda Labs.)

What was the size of the dataset used for training ChatGPT?

• The dataset for training ChatGPT-4 — the latest version of ChatGPT — is estimated to consist of 100 trillion parameters, more than 5 times larger than the training data for ChatGPT-3. (Source: Wired and OpenAI.)

• Chat-GPT-4 training data included feedback from users of ChatGPT-3 as well as feedback from over 50 AI safety and security experts. (Source: OpenAI.)
• ChatGPT-3’s dataset comprised textual data from 5 sources, each with a different proportional weighting. (Source: OpenAI.)
• 60% of ChatGPT-3’s dataset was based on a filtered version of what is known as ‘common crawl’ data, which consists of web page data, metadata extracts and text extracts from over 8 years of web crawling. (Source: OpenAI.)
• 22% of ChatGPT-3’s dataset came from ‘WebText2’, which consists of Reddit posts that have three or more upvotes. (Source: OpenAI.)
• 16% of ChatGPT-3’s dataset come from two Internet-based book collections. These books included fiction, non-fiction and also a wide range of academic articles. (Source: OpenAI.)
• 3% of ChatGPT-3’s dataset comes from the English-language version of Wikipedia. (Source: OpenAI.)
• 93% of ChatGPT-3’s data set was in English (Source: OpenAI.)

How much of ChatGPT’s training was done by humans?

• OpenAI’s 2020 paper on ChatGPT-3, ‘Language Models are Few-Shot Learners’ was authored by 21 different people from the OpenAI team. (Source: OpenAI.)
• Additionally, 780 people were recruited to participate in experiments to assess whether or not humans could detect that ChatGPT-3’s answers were generated by humans or by a computer model. (Source: OpenAI.)
• All in all, it is likely that more than 800 people were involved in the creation of ChatGPT-3.

Is there a ChatGPT app?

• There is an app version of ChatGPT available for both iOS and Android devices.
• Open AI launched an app version of ChatGPT for iOS users on 18th May 2023. This free app was initially only available to users in the United States, but its availability has since been expanded to another 40+ countries, including Albania, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Jamaica, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, South Korea and the U.K. (Source: Techcrunch.)
• The iOS ChatGPT app was downloaded more than 500,000 times during its first week on the Apple App store. (Source: Data.ai.)
• The iOS ChatGPT app currently has a user rating of 4.9 stars out of 5, receiving a total of 2.2+ million ratings so far. (Source: Apple.)

• At time of writing, the iOS ChatGPT app is ranked 1st in the ‘Productivity’ category in the Apple App Store — one place ahead of Gmail.. (Source: Apple.)
• An Android version of the ChatGPT app was launched in July 2023. At time of writing, it has been downloaded over 100 million times, and is currently rated 4.8 stars out of 5 from more than 15 million user reviews in the Google Play Store.

What languages does ChatGPT understand?

• ChatGPT is designed to primarily work in English, but it also understands certain inputs in around 95 other natural human languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, German and Irish. (Source: SEO.ai.)
• ChatGPT was primarily written in the Python computer programming language. However, because it was exposed to various other coding languages as part of its training dataset, ChatGPT is also capable of understanding and producing responses in a wide range of computer languages. These include:

(Source: SEO.ai.)

What is ChatGPT’s IQ?

• Opinions on the IQ of ChatGPT vary from a slightly below-average IQ score of 83 to a ninety-nine percentile busting IQ of 147. (Source: Fast Company and David Rozado.)
• Some ChatGPT users have asked the tool to provide different IQ-level answers to questions (with interesting results). When asked for a 200 IQ answer to the question ‘Why does it rain?’, ChatGPT provided a perfectly-structured, well-articulated and information-packed response. But when it was asked to pretend to be a person with an IQ of 50 and to answer the same question, it responded: “it rain because the sky cry, it get sad and the tear fall down on the ground. That how it make everything all wet.” (Source: @halkatov on Twitter.)

How long does it take ChatGPT to answer a question?

The short answer is: it depends on the question / request.

• In response to my question ‘What is artificial intelligence?’, ChatGPT started to answer within 0.5 seconds, and within 13 seconds it had provided me with a complete 67 word answer with a high degree of accuracy.
• I then gave ChatGPT a slightly longer request: “explain to me how the human brain works.’ ChatGPT took longer to get going with this answer (3 seconds), and it took 31 seconds in total to provide a 178 word answer. This answer was also very accurate.
• Lastly, I gave ChatGPT the following request: “write me a short novel in the style of William Faulkner’s ‘The Sound and the Fury’. In this case, it took ChatGPT 7 seconds before commencing its answer. It ultimately took 70 seconds to produce a 354 word answer to this prompt. Unfortunately, its response did not (in my view) accurately respond to my request. Instead of a novel, ChatGPT produced a basic summary of the actual novel ‘The Sound and The Fury’, which was written in plain and correct English — a style very far removed from the literary approach of the novel in question.

How accurate is ChatGPT?

The Internet is filled with reports of ChatGPT failing to provide accurate data in response to user prompts. For example, it was reported that ChatGPT-3 was incapable of providing a correct response to a question about how many times Argentina had won the World Cup. It answered ‘twice’ when the correct answer should have been ‘three times.’ This can be explained by the fact that ChatGPT’s training data only spans until 2021, at which time Argentina had won the World Cup twice. Argentina went on to win the competition for a third time in 2022.

In OpenAI’s 2022 research paper, many ChatGPT limitations are acknowledged by its parent company.

The very first limitation mentioned by OpenAI on the ChatGPT web page is with regard to factual inaccuracy. The company states:

Other limitations of ChatGPT include:

OpenAI claims that ChatGPT-4 — the latest version of ChatGPT — is around 40% more likely to produce factual responses to prompts than its predecessor Chat-GPT-3. The company also claims that ChatGPT-4 is 82% less likely to respond to requests for disallowed content than ChatGPT-3. (Source: OpenAI.)

How many applications does ChatGPT have?

Too many to be able to mention them all!

Here are just a few of the ‘natural language processing’ things you can use the ChatGPT model for, though:

Does ChatGPT pass the Turing test?

• The Turing test — named after British mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing — is a practical test to determine if a computer can pass as a human in a conversation with a real person. When you ask ChatGPT if it is capable of passing the Turing test, the answer from the chatbot is a definitive ‘No!’ — it responds:

• However, some humans disagree with ChatGPT on this. According to Buzzfeed data scientist Max Woolf, ChatGPT has indeed passed the Turing Test by conveying itself as indistinguishable in terms of its language use and responses from a real person to a panel of judges. (Source: Max Woolf.)

Where is ChatGPT available?

• ChatGPT is available in around 188 countries around the world. (Source: OpenAI.)
• However, users in China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela and Belarus are reportedly unable to access the program. (Source: Video Gamer.)

Will I lose my job because of ChatGPT?

• In 2013, a university of Oxford study estimated that 47% of the U&S workforce could potentially be replaced by AI over the next few decades. Since the stratospheric rise of ChatGPT over the three months, employees in industries across customer service, education, content creation, search engine optimization (SEO) and many more are wondering if their sector will be hit by job losses due to recent AI advancements.
• In a March 2023 research paper, OpenAI reports that “80% of the U.S. workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected by the introduction of GPTs, while around 19% of workers may see at least 50% of their tasks impacted”. (Source: OpenAI.)
• Sectors likely to be particularly affected by AI advancements include tech, media, law, market research and finance (Source: Business Insider.)
• Examples of jobs likely to be affected significantly by AI include programmers; journalists; paralegals, legal assistants; market researchers; educators; financial analysts, personal financial advisors; traders; graphic designers; accountants; and customer service agents. (Source: Business Insider.)
• Interestingly, when you ask ChatGPT which industries are most likely to see job losses due to AI, it suggests that the most at-risk jobs are those involving a large amount of repetitive tasks (for example those in manufacturing, customer service, translation, data entry and logistics).

How aware are people of ChatGPT?

• Awareness and usage of ChatGPT among U.S. adults have grown significantly over the past year. Earlier Statista research estimated that around 45% of U.S. adults had seen, read, or heard about ChatGPT, with awareness highest among Gen Z and Millennials. However, newer data shows a clear increase. A national survey by Elon University’s Imagining the Digital Future Center in January 2025 found that 52% of U.S. adults now use large language models like ChatGPT, highlighting the rapid pace of adoption across generations. Supporting this trend, a Pew Research Center survey from early 2024 showed that 23% of U.S. adults had personally used ChatGPT, up from 18% just six months earlier. Together, these figures demonstrate not only rising awareness but also a growing reliance on AI tools like ChatGPT in everyday life. (Sources: Elon University, Pew Research Center.)

Can ChatGPT write a decent haiku?

• Well, I asked ChatGPT to write a haiku on the the topic of writer’s block. It made a pretty good attempt at it. I then pointed out a flaw in the syllable count of the third line of ChatGPT’s haiku attempt. The program then apologised to me (in haiku form!) and produced another haiku on writer’s block that (almost!) respects the 5-7-5 syllable count of classical haikus.
