2026-10 · Legend and cards show this month. Selecting a point keeps the full timeline.

Usage currently means web-visit share (excluding apps and APIs). Users are MAU; customers are businesses. Paid adoption identifies subscribers versus seats. Revenue is company-wide monthly pace, not a finalized monthly result.

Forecast method and data coverage
  • With two or more observations through the selected month, extend the monthly change between the latest two. With one, assume zero growth. No numbers are generated without evidence or before the first observation.
  • Weekly users assume a 75% WAU/MAU ratio, not a measured ratio. Annualized revenue is divided by 12. Projections use the numeric floor of “more than” disclosures, so forecasts are not guaranteed lower bounds.
  • Past months are reconstructed from the observation periods in today’s dataset, not solely information known at the time. Observations later than the target month are excluded.
  • This simple projection model is not a validated market forecast. Older or rapidly growing inputs increase uncertainty. Shares are bounded to 0–100%, other values to zero or above; gross/net revenue accounting is not adjusted.
  • Missing cells reflect gaps in this dataset. People use multiple services, so these values are not summed into market size or market share.

  • Similarweb — Estimated web traffic. Detailed history/API access depends on plans and data credits.
  • Sensor Tower / a16z — Supplemental app usage and consumer-payment panels. U.S. payment panels and app metrics have different coverage from worldwide revenue or users.
  • OpenRouter — API token usage on its platform, rather than whole-market share. The data API requires a key.
