Consumer-facing AI applications, sorted by best-available audience signal (disclosed WAU, then web MAU, then mobile MAU). Hover the audience and subscriber cells for per-row sourcing. n/d = not disclosed.
- Web MAU values cited as Similarweb traffic are monthly-visit totals (not unique-visitor counts) at the cited as-of date and may overstate unique reach.
- Sensor Tower mobile MAU estimates differ from first-party disclosures; where vendors have disclosed WAU or DAU, the disclosed metric is used in addition to the modeled MAU.
- OpenAI's 800M WAU disclosure (Oct 2025) is global across web, mobile, and API-accessed surfaces; it is not directly comparable to web-only Similarweb figures.
- Meta AI's 1B+ MAU is distributed across the WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Facebook surfaces and is not a standalone product like ChatGPT or Claude.ai.

Enterprise platforms with AI offerings, focused on AI-attributable revenue and adoption metrics. Public tickers are labeled inline. Estimates and management-disclosed figures are flagged in each cell.
- AI-attributable revenue and attach rate disclosures vary widely by vendor. Microsoft and Salesforce have been more specific (Fortune 500 penetration, paid deal counts). Workday and Atlassian have been less specific. Palantir attribution is cleanest because AIP is named on every earnings call as the US Commercial growth driver.
- Glean and Writer are private and self-disclose ARR milestones in press releases. The Information has reported corroborating figures.
- C3.ai is the only pure-play public AI software vendor in this list; the others are AI features bolted onto established enterprise software franchises.

What is durable versus commodity in vertical AI
Durable: workflow lock-in (Sierra resolution-based pricing inside a customer-support team), proprietary data (Tempus oncology data, Abridge ambient-scribe corpus), regulatory and compliance moats (Harvey's biglaw partnerships, Hippocratic AI HIPAA and clinical-safety stack). Commodity: pure text generation, single-purpose copywriting, generic chat assistants without proprietary data or workflow integration (Jasper and Copy.ai category compression).

App ARR Comparison
Top AI-native apps and platforms by reported or estimated ARR, sorted descending. All ARR values are in millions of US dollars (USD). Hover any bar for the basis (run-rate vs trailing), as-of date, source, and methodology note. Estimates are marked (est.) in the underlying data.
- Run-rate (annualized exit-rate) is used by most private AI companies and is captured here with explicit basis flagging. Trailing twelve-month recognized revenue is materially lower for fast-growing companies. The distinction matters for valuation framing.
- Cross-references: NVIDIA Data Center, hyperscaler AI revenue (Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI, AWS Bedrock, Google Cloud AI, Oracle OCI GenAI), enterprise AI features (Salesforce Agentforce, ServiceNow Now Assist, Adobe Firefly), and managed AI-attributable enterprise revenue (Palantir AIP) are tracked separately in `ai-sw-bigtech-ai-revenue.json` and `ai-sw-enterprise-platforms.json`.
- OpenAI and Anthropic figures combine first-party subscriptions and API revenue, consistent with the canonical AI revenue definition adopted for this sector.
