In brief
- ChatGPT still leads, but Google’s Gemini and Musk’s Grok are closing fast, per Andreessen Horowitz’s Top 100 AI Apps.
- The AI app market is stabilizing—fewer new entrants on web, more originality on mobile.
- China’s AI giants and “Brink List” newcomers show the next wave of global challengers.
For more than a year, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been the undisputed heavyweight of consumer generative AI.
But according to the latest “Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Apps” report from venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz, which analyzes two-and-a-half years of AI usage data, the challengers are finally starting to close the gap. Google’s Gemini and Elon Musk’s Grok are climbing the charts, signaling that rivals are coming for OpenAI’s crown.
That said, the Gen AI ecosystem is showing signs of stabilization. The web list saw 11 newcomers compared to 17 in March 2025, indicating less churn. The mobile app market, however, saw 14 new entries, partly due to app stores cracking down on “ChatGPT copycats,” making room for more original apps.
