AI Companion Apps Earn Over $400 Million, Nearly 70% of Users Hide Usage from Human Partners
Data shows that since the release of ChatGPT, adult-oriented and romantic AI companion apps have accumulated over 160 million downloads, with user spending reaching 427 million US dollars. In the first half of 2026, just 214 such apps generated 162.8 million US dollars in revenue, among which Zeta had the highest revenue at 33 million US dollars. Although ordinary AI companion apps have more downloads, their willingness to pay is lower than that of romantic ones. #AI Companion# #Digital Companion# #AI App Market#
