AI INSIGHTS
🤖 ChatGPT Pro Sales Are Off to a Flying Start
Did you know ChatGPT Pro already makes up 5.8% of OpenAI’s B2C sales? That’s pretty impressive for a paid tier launched just a month ago. But here’s the kicker: only 0.7% of paying users subscribe to Pro. So how’s it pulling in such a big share of revenue?
Well, ChatGPT Pro isn’t your average tier. For $200/month, users get advanced voice features, higher video limits, and Sora video generation. Think power tools for the power users. OpenAI’s banking on these features to turn Pro into their future cash cow—even if they’re losing money on it for now.
Why OpenAI Is Winning the AI Race
Right now, OpenAI dominates with a whopping 62.5% of paid AI tool sales in the U.S. It’s left early players like Jasper and Midjourney in the dust. For context:
Midjourney holds just 6% of the market.
Anthropic comes in at 4.5%.
Google Gemini and Topaz Labs are even smaller, with 3.1% and 3.7%, respectively.
Meanwhile, Microsoft Copilot is barely hanging on at 0.7%.
Retention Is the Real MVP
Here’s the secret sauce: ChatGPT has the highest retention rate among AI tools. High retention = happy users, which bodes well for ChatGPT Pro’s growth. By comparison, Midjourney’s user retention has been slipping, and Topaz Labs struggles to keep customers.
What Makes Pro Users Tick?
Pro users aren’t just here for ChatGPT—they’re tech enthusiasts subscribing to tools like GitHub, Zapier, and Twilio. It’s not just about features; it’s about staying in the ecosystem where all your tools work together.
Why it matters: OpenAI is playing the long game. ChatGPT Pro might have a small audience now, but its advanced features and OpenAI’s dominance in retention could make it the go-to tier for serious AI users. If this trend continues, we’re looking at a future where ChatGPT Pro sets the gold standard for paid AI services.
