ChatGPT just dropped below half of AI-app users — here's how I split work across the big three

For the first time, ChatGPT fell below 50% of AI-app users — about 46%, per Sensor Tower. Gemini's at ~28%, Claude ~10%.

Before anyone calls it a fall: by web traffic ChatGPT still leads at ~54.7% with 1.1B+ monthly users. It's still #1 overall. What's actually ending is the single-app habit. Quick breakdown of the numbers here:

As someone who builds full-stack and mobile stuff on the side, that shift just matched what had already happened on my own machine. At some point I stopped asking "which AI is best?" and started asking "which one for this task?" Here's the split that stuck for me:

Claude for code — refactors, reading unfamiliar repos, long files. It also has the highest paid-conversion of the majors (~13%), which kind of tracks: people who code all day tend to keep paying.

Gemini for email, search, and anything already in a Google tab — it replaced Google Assistant and is baked into Android/Chrome/Gmail, so it's just there. Zero install friction is underrated.
