Frequently asked questions

Does AI share differ between the world and Japan?
Yes. In market share for Jul 2026, ChatGPT stands out worldwide at about 79%, while in Japan Gemini holds a higher share than the world average, reaching double digits (source: StatCounter).
How often is the AI share data updated?
Every month we save StatCounter's public data as a monthly snapshot and update the history, month-over-month change and fastest risers/fallers. Each month's report is kept as an archive.
Are “market share” and “usage” the same?
Not exactly. Here, market share is a metric based on web-referral traffic via AI chatbots and does not fully represent usage across all users. Rankings change with the measurement method.

These rankings are reference values based on public market-share data, web-traffic estimates and editorial research, and do not represent a complete count of every user of each AI tool. Rankings change with the measurement method (web-visit share vs. market share, etc.). Always check each official site for the latest information.
