OpenAI's ChatGPT has regained web traffic share to 55.5 percent, reversing earlier losses as Google Gemini's share dropped to 25.6 percent. Similarweb data shows ChatGPT's traffic climbed from 52.7 percent three months ago, while Gemini fell from 27.8 to 25.6 percent.
ChatGPT has lost significant ground year-over-year, down from 73.3 percent, while Gemini doubled its share and Anthropic's Claude grew from 1.9 to 9.3 percent. DeepSeek, Grok, Copilot, and Perplexity remain minor players with shares of 3.4, 2.4, 1.6, and 0.9 percent respectively.
The figures cover only website traffic. Google likely drives many mobile Gemini interactions through its Android ecosystem, which do not show up here. OpenAI is also pushing its mobile ChatGPT app and the new desktop version ChatGPT Work, neither of which appear in the stats.

The announcement follows a period where ChatGPT had shed market share over the past twelve months but recently stabilized. Gemini and Claude are gaining ground, while the rest are stagnating.
OpenAI did not say how it plans to maintain its lead, and the open question remains about how long Gemini's brief comeback will last. The source says the trend shows ChatGPT has stabilized, while Gemini and Claude are gaining ground, and the rest are stagnating.
