Anthropic’s Claude has more than doubled its paid subscriptions in 2026, a milestone the company confirmed as of March. The app’s global market share climbed from 5.1% in February to 10% by April, a near-doubling in just two months.
The numbers that matter
On iOS, 13% of Claude users pay for a subscription, compared to 8% for ChatGPT. Claude generates $2.76 per user versus ChatGPT’s $1.74, roughly 1.5x the monetization rate.
Anthropic closed a $30 billion Series G funding round in February 2026 at a $380 billion valuation. The company’s annualized revenue scaled from approximately $5 billion in August 2025 to over $30 billion by April 2026.
