130 Google Gemini Statistics 2026: Users, Growth, Cost

Google’s Gemini app passed 1 billion monthly users on 11 August 2026. Sixteen months earlier, an internal slide shown in the US antitrust trial put the figure at 350 million, and the settled view was that Google had lost the assistant race before it started.

The numbers below come from Alphabet’s quarterly disclosures, Google’s own product announcements and model cards, and independent measurement firms. Where the 2024 edition of this page carried a figure that has since moved, the original stays on the page with its source and date, next to whatever replaced it.

Every figure was checked on 24 August 2026. The leaderboard, model-family and pricing figures were checked again on 16 September 2026.

Google Gemini User Statistics

Gemini’s user count is one of the few AI adoption figures reported by a company that has to answer to the SEC. Alphabet has now given a Gemini number in two of its last three quarterly letters, which makes the growth curve unusually easy to read.

Monthly Active Users, Quarter By Quarter

11. Gemini had 350 million monthly active users and 35 million daily active users in March 2025, according to an internal Google slide shown during the US antitrust trial and first reported by The Information.
12. That same slide put Gemini at 90 million monthly active users and 9 million daily active users in October 2024.
13. At Google I/O in May 2025, the Gemini app had 400 million monthly active users.
14. Alphabet reported over 750 million monthly active users for Q4 2025.
15. At Google I/O on 19 May 2026, Sundar Pichai said Gemini had surpassed 900 million monthly active users, “more than doubling in a year.”
16. Alphabet’s Q2 2026 shareholder letter put the Gemini app at 950 million monthly active users.
17. On 11 August 2026, Google announced the app had officially surpassed 1 billion monthly users.
18. That is a roughly 11-fold increase in 22 months, from 90 million in October 2024 to 1 billion in August 2026.

Daily Use And Platform Split

19. Gemini daily active users tripled over the year ending 30 June 2026, per Alphabet’s Q2 2026 disclosure.
20. Gemini daily requests grew more than sevenfold in the year to May 2026.
21. The app has more than 100 million active users on iOS.
22. macOS power users prompt Gemini about twice as often as users on other surfaces.
23. The Android app showed 1 billion-plus downloads and 41.8 million ratings at 4.6 stars on Google Play in August 2026. The 2024 edition of this page cited 4.7 stars and more than 10 million downloads from the same listing.

Where Gemini Is Available

24. The Gemini web app is available in more than 70 languages, unchanged from the 2024 figure (Google Support).
25. It reaches over 230 countries and territories, also unchanged.
26. Google expanded Personal Intelligence in AI Mode to nearly 200 countries and territories across 98 languages at I/O 2026.

Google Gemini Usage And Engagement Statistics

Google published a batch of behavioural figures alongside the 1-billion-user announcement. They are the first detailed look at what people actually do inside the app, as opposed to how many open it.

What People Do With Gemini

27. 63% of Gemini users now talk directly to it, including a growing number who use voice only.
28. Busy parents are 43% more likely to use voice for everyday tasks than the average user.
29. One in five Gemini Live interactions goes beyond voice, using a live camera feed or screen share.
30. 38% of school-related requests include an attachment.
31. Gemini generates more than 150 million images every day.
32. Gemini can take actions across more than 40 apps, covering things like booking rides and reserving tables.

Time Spent In The App

33. Average time in the Gemini app rose from 14 minutes to 100 minutes per user per month, per Sensor Tower’s State of AI 2026 estimates.
34. ChatGPT, Gemini and DeepSeek together accounted for nearly 90% of all time spent in AI assistant apps in Q1 2026 (Sensor Tower).
35. Sensor Tower figures are modelled panel estimates rather than measured actuals, and they cover mobile apps only.

Gemini Inside Google Search

36. AI Mode passed 1 billion monthly active users in Q2 2026, having gone global the previous October.
37. AI Mode queries have more than doubled every quarter since launch, per Google’s I/O 2026 recap.
38. In the US, daily AI Mode queries per user doubled between launch and Q4 2025.
39. AI Overviews reached 1.5 billion users a month as of Alphabet’s Q1 2025 report, the last quarter in which Google gave a standalone figure for it.

Google Gemini Traffic Statistics

Web traffic is the Gemini metric independent firms measure most directly, without Google’s cooperation. It also has the narrowest scope: domain visits miss the Android assistant, the iOS app, Workspace and every API call.

Visits And Rankings

40. Similarweb estimates about 2.7 billion visits to gemini.google.com from May to July 2026, a trailing three-month total rather than a single-month figure.
41. Traffic was down 6.03% month over month in July 2026.
42. The domain ranks 17th globally across all websites.
43. It ranks second in Similarweb’s AI Chatbots and Tools category in the United States.

On-Site Behaviour, Then And Now

44. Visitors view 4.13 pages per visit (July 2026). The 2024 edition of this page cited 3.47.
45. The average visit lasts 7 minutes 1 second. The 2024 figure was 4 minutes 59 seconds.
46. The bounce rate is 27.8%. The 2024 figure was 38.33%, against ChatGPT’s 38.02% at the time.
47. Direct traffic accounts for 63.61% of desktop visits, with organic search second.
48. In 2024 this page reported a 60.09% desktop and 39.91% mobile device split from Similarweb. Similarweb’s free profile no longer publishes that split, so there is no current figure to set beside it.
49. In September 2024, Similarweb read 274.7 million worldwide visits, up 2.56% on the prior month. Every engagement metric above has improved since.

Audience And Geography

50. The United States sends 12.83% of gemini.google.com traffic, the largest single country share. The 2024 figure was 14.06%.
51. Japan is second at 7.55%, followed by India at 6.05%, Brazil at 5.37% and South Korea at 5.33%.
52. Visitors are 58.78% men and 41.22% women (July 2026). The 2024 figures on this page were 58.52% and 41.48%.
53. The 25 to 34 bracket remains the largest age group, as it was in 2024, when this page put it at 31.10% with 18 to 24 second at 23.27%.
54. Google Gemini’s mobile app registered around 692,853 downloads in February 2024 (Statista, 2024), the figure this page has carried since.

Google Gemini Market Share Statistics

Two things are true at once in 2026: ChatGPT still leads chatbot web traffic by roughly two to one, and Gemini has taken about 20 points of share from it in a year.

Share Of Generative AI Web Visits

55. Gemini holds roughly 27% to 28% of generative AI website visits in the twelve months to May 2026 (Similarweb).
56. ChatGPT’s share fell from about 76% in June 2025 to roughly 53% by May 2026, a drop of more than 20 percentage points.
57. Gemini’s share over the same period rose from under 9%.
58. Claude climbed from barely 2% to close to 9%.
59. In January 2026, Similarweb’s Global AI Tracker read ChatGPT at 64.5% and Gemini at 21.5%, with DeepSeek at 3.7%, Grok at 3.4%, and Perplexity and Claude both at 2.0%.
60. Over the twelve weeks to January 2026, Gemini visits rose 49% while ChatGPT fell 22%.
61. Similarweb states plainly that this tracker counts domain-level visits and captures no API traffic, no embedded assistants and no integrations, which is where much of Gemini’s usage sits.

Share Of Time Spent

62. Gemini is one of three apps that together take nearly 90% of time spent in AI assistant apps (Sensor Tower, Q1 2026).
63. 62% of people said they use ChatGPT or Google Gemini to research a product or service, per an Ignite Visibility poll cited on this page in 2024. The source page has since been rewritten and no longer carries the figure, so the number is given here as Ignite Visibility originally reported it.

Google Gemini Developer And API Statistics

Developer Adoption

64. More than 9 million developers build with Google’s models each month across its APIs and developer products (Q2 2026).
65. 47.4% of developers who use or build AI agents said they had used Google Gemini, in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025 (n = 8,323).
66. On a separate question in the same survey, 35.3% had used Gemini Flash and 25.6% Gemini Reasoning models for development work (n = 16,474).
67. Google’s Antigravity development platform reached more than 1.5 million weekly active users about two months after launch.

Token Throughput

68. Google’s model APIs process approximately 22 billion tokens per minute (Q2 2026).
69. That is up from more than 16 billion in Q1 2026.
70. And from over 10 billion in Q4 2025.
71. And from 7 billion in Q3 2025. Alphabet scoped the Q4 and Q1 figures to first-party models via direct customer API use; the Q2 wording widened to “our model APIs,” so the denominators may not be identical.
72. Nearly 500 Google Cloud customers each processed more than a trillion tokens in the twelve months to Q2 2026.
73. A quarter earlier that number was 330 customers, of which 35 had passed 10 trillion tokens.
74. Gemini 3 Pro processes three times as many daily tokens on average as Gemini 2.5 Pro did.

API Access And Rate Limits

75. In 2024 Google raised the rate limit for Gemini 1.5 Pro to 1,000 requests per minute, up from 360, and Gemini 1.5 Flash to 2,000 (Google Developers Blog). These were paid-tier limits, not the free tier, a distinction the 2024 edition of this page got wrong.
76. Google no longer publishes per-model rate limits publicly. The current documentation points developers to a signed-in AI Studio dashboard instead.
77. Paid API tiers are gated by rolling ten-minute spend thresholds of $10, $50 and $200 for tiers 1, 2 and 3.

Google Gemini Enterprise And Infrastructure Statistics

Gemini Enterprise

78. Google sold more than 8 million paid Gemini Enterprise seats across 2,800-plus companies within four months of launch.
79. Gemini Enterprise paid monthly active users grew 40% quarter over quarter in Q1 2026.
80. Nearly 90% of the Fortune 100 were using Gemini Enterprise by Q2 2026.
81. Google Workspace, which carries Gemini features, serves more than 3 billion users and over 13 million customers.

Google Cloud Revenue And Backlog

82. Google Cloud revenue reached $24.8 billion in Q2 2026, up 82% year over year.
83. Q1 2026 revenue passed $20 billion for the first time, up 63%.
84. Q4 2025 revenue was $17.7 billion, up 48%, an annual run rate above $70 billion.
85. Cloud backlog grew to $514 billion in Q2 2026, an increase of more than $50 billion in a single quarter.
86. Backlog was over $460 billion in Q1 2026 and $240 billion in Q4 2025.
87. Alphabet does not break out Gemini revenue. No quarterly report, earnings call or shareholder letter in 2026 gives a Gemini-only or AI-subscription-only figure, so any circulating “Gemini revenue” number is an outside estimate.

What Google Is Spending

88. Alphabet spent $44.9 billion on capital expenditure in Q2 2026, most of it on technical infrastructure for AI.
89. Q1 2026 capex was $35.7 billion.
90. Q4 2025 capex was $27.9 billion, closing full-year 2025 at $91.4 billion.
91. Alphabet raised its 2026 capex guidance twice, from $175 to $185 billion, to $180 to $190 billion, then to $195 to $205 billion.
92. Google cut Gemini serving unit costs by 78% over 2025 through model and utilisation work.
93. After moving AI Overviews and AI Mode onto Gemini 3, Google reduced the cost of core AI responses by more than 30%.
94. Roughly 60% of Alphabet’s 2025 and 2026 capex goes to servers and machines rather than land and buildings.

Google Gemini Model And Benchmark Statistics

Gemini 3.1 Pro Benchmark Scores

95. Gemini 3.1 Pro scores 94.3% on GPQA Diamond (model card).
96. It scores 80.6% on SWE-Bench Verified.
97. It scores 77.1% on ARC-AGI-2.
98. It scores 92.6% on MMMLU, the multilingual variant.
99. On Humanity’s Last Exam it scores 44.4% without tools and 51.4% with search and code.
100. It rates 2887 Elo on LiveCodeBench Pro.
101. Gemini 3.6 Flash gained more than ten points on SWE-bench over Gemini 3.5 Flash while using fewer tokens.

Independent Leaderboard Standing

102. Gemini 3 Pro launched in November 2025 with 1501 Elo on the LMArena leaderboard, which Google described as topping it.
103. On the same leaderboard ten months later, the highest-placed Gemini model is Gemini 3.8 Flash at 1493 Elo, ranked ninth, with Gemini 3.7 Flash twelfth at 1490.
104. Gemini 3.1 Pro sits fifteenth at 1487 Elo, and the original Gemini 3 Pro sixteenth at 1485.
105. That leaderboard now carries 8,146,274 votes across 402 models, and the site has rebranded from LMArena to Arena.
106. Artificial Analysis scores Gemini 3.1 Pro at 30 on its Intelligence Index, ranked 68th. The leaders sit at 53. Artificial Analysis moved the index to v4.3 after this page was first written, so the fall from the 48 it recorded in August is a change of scale as much as a change in standing.
107. Artificial Analysis clocks Gemini 3.1 Pro at 108.4 output tokens per second with a 26.35-second time to first token, against a 3.31-second median across models.

The Original Gemini Ultra Benchmarks

108. Gemini Ultra scored 90.04% on MMLU in the Gemini 1.0 technical report of December 2023, the first model reported above human-expert level on that test. The score used a 32-sample chain-of-thought method rather than the standard protocol.
109. On the standard 5-shot protocol, Gemini Ultra scored 83.7% against GPT-4’s 86.4% in the same paper.
110. Gemini Ultra scored 79.0% on MGSM against GPT-4’s 74.5%, and 17.6 on XLSum.
111. The report claimed state of the art on 30 of the 32 benchmarks it ran.
112. Gemini’s architecture handles text, images, audio and video natively (Gemini 1.0 technical report).
113. The PAIR automated jailbreak method circumvented Gemini Pro’s safety protocols 73% of the time, against 88% for Vicuna-13B and 50% for GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 (Chao et al.).

Context Window And Model Family

114. Gemini 3.1 Pro accepts up to 1 million input tokens and returns up to 64,000.
115. That is half the 2 million token window Gemini 1.5 Pro carried in 2024, the figure this page cited. Google’s flagship context window got smaller, not larger.
116. The 2024 family was Ultra, Pro, Flash and Nano. The 2026 line is Pro, Flash and Flash-Lite: Gemini 3.1 Pro, 3.8 Flash, 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite. Google shipped 3.8 Flash on 2 September 2026, three weeks after 3.7 Flash.
117. Ultra now names a subscription tier, not a model. Nano now names the Nano Banana image models.
118. Google renamed Bard to Gemini on 8 February 2024 (Google).
119. Project Astra remains a research prototype with a limited set of trusted testers, and its capabilities are being folded into Gemini Live, Search and glasses hardware.

Google Gemini Pricing Statistics

Consumer Plans

120. Google AI Pro costs $19.99 a month. This is the plan sold as AI Premium in 2024, at the same price.
121. Google cut the top AI Ultra plan from $250 to $200 a month at I/O 2026.
122. Google added a $100 a month AI Ultra tier aimed at developers, technical leads and advanced creators.
123. Alphabet counted 350 million paid consumer subscriptions in Q1 2026, up from over 325 million in Q4 2025. Google does not say how many are Gemini.

Developer And Enterprise Pricing

124. Gemini 3.7 Flash costs $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens through 31 December 2026 (Gemini API pricing).
125. Both prices double on 1 January 2027, to $1.50 and $7.50.
126. Gemini 2.5 Flash costs $0.30 per million input tokens for text, image and video, $1.00 for audio, and $2.50 per million output tokens.
127. Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite costs $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.40 output.
128. Gemini Code Assist Standard costs $22.80 per user per month, or $19.00 on an annual commitment. The monthly price is unchanged since 2024.
129. Gemini Code Assist Enterprise costs $54.00 per user per month, or $45.00 annually. Also unchanged.
130. Artificial Analysis prices Gemini 3.1 Pro at $2.00 per million input tokens and $12.00 per million output.

Key Takeaways

• Gemini’s growth is real and it is Google-reported. Alphabet put a Gemini user number in its Q4 2025 and Q2 2026 shareholder letters, and the ladder runs 750 million to 900 million to 950 million to 1 billion between February and August 2026. Numbers that appear in shareholder communications carry consequences that blog metrics do not.
• Distribution did the work. Gemini reached a billion users without ever winning the traffic war on its own domain. Android, Search, Workspace and Chrome put the model in front of people who never chose it, which is why Similarweb’s web-visit share of 27% understates reach and why Google can report a billion users while ChatGPT still leads chatbot browsing roughly two to one.
• The benchmark story turned on Google in ten months. Gemini 3 Pro topped LMArena at launch in November 2025 with 1501 Elo. By September 2026 the best-placed Gemini model sits ninth, and Artificial Analysis ranks Gemini 3.1 Pro 68th on intelligence. Frontier position is now measured in weeks.
• The spend is growing faster than the user base. Alphabet raised 2026 capex guidance twice in six months to $195 to $205 billion, while a single quarter’s capex, $44.9 billion, is roughly half of everything the company spent in all of 2025.
• Nobody outside Google knows what Gemini earns. There is no Gemini revenue line in any 2026 filing or shareholder letter. Every published Gemini revenue figure is somebody’s estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many People Use Google Gemini?

The Gemini app passed 1 billion monthly users on 11 August 2026, per Google. Alphabet’s last audited-cycle disclosure, in the Q2 2026 shareholder letter, put it at 950 million monthly active users for the quarter ending 30 June 2026.

Does Gemini Have More Users Than ChatGPT?

The two companies do not report the same metric, so the honest answer is that it depends what you count. On web visits to their own domains, Similarweb put ChatGPT at roughly 53% of generative AI traffic against Gemini’s 27% to 28% in the twelve months to May 2026. On company-reported monthly users, Gemini is at 1 billion. Neither figure captures the other’s API and embedded usage.

How Fast Is Gemini Growing?

From 400 million monthly active users in May 2025 to 1 billion in August 2026, roughly 150% in fifteen months. Daily active users tripled over the year to June 2026, and daily requests grew more than sevenfold in the year to May 2026.

How Much Does Google Gemini Cost?

The app is free. Google AI Pro is $19.99 a month and AI Ultra runs $100 or $200 a month depending on tier. For developers, Gemini 3.7 Flash is $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output through the end of 2026. Gemini Code Assist runs $22.80 to $54.00 per user per month.

How Much Money Does Gemini Make?

Alphabet has never disclosed it. Gemini’s revenue sits inside Google Cloud and Google Services totals with no separate line, and no 2026 earnings call or shareholder letter breaks it out. Figures circulating online are third-party estimates without a primary source.

Is Gemini Still The Best AI Model?

Not by the two independent measures on this page. Gemini 3 Pro topped LMArena with 1501 Elo when it launched in November 2025. As of 16 September 2026, the best-placed Gemini model on that leaderboard is Gemini 3.8 Flash at ninth, and Artificial Analysis ranks Gemini 3.1 Pro 68th on its Intelligence Index.

How Many Developers Use Gemini?

More than 9 million build with Google’s models each month across its APIs and developer products, per Alphabet’s Q2 2026 disclosure. In the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025, 47.4% of developers who work with AI agents said they had used Google Gemini.

Sources And Methodology

Company figures come from Alphabet’s Q4 2025, Q1 2026 and Q2 2026 shareholder letters and earnings calls, Google’s I/O 2026 announcements, Google Cloud and DeepMind product pages, and the Gemini API documentation. Independent figures come from Similarweb, Sensor Tower, Artificial Analysis, the Arena leaderboard, and the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025.

Notes on how the figures should be read:

Company-reported user counts are self-defined. Google has never published its method for counting a Gemini monthly active user, and the 1 billion announcement says “monthly users” where the Q2 2026 letter says “monthly active users.”

Token throughput changed scope between quarters. Alphabet described the Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 figures as first-party models used through direct customer API calls. The Q2 2026 wording is “our model APIs,” which may cover more.

Similarweb publishes modelled estimates, not measured actuals, and counts only domain visits. The 2.7 billion figure on its July 2026 profile is a three-month total covering May through July, not a monthly count, and Similarweb’s free profile does not publish a single-month figure. Sensor Tower’s engagement figures are panel estimates covering mobile apps only.

Leaderboard positions move. Arena scores are crowdsourced pairwise ratings that shift as new models enter, so a rank cited from September 2026 will not hold. Artificial Analysis’s Intelligence Index is a composite of that firm’s own evaluations under its own weighting, and the firm rescored every model when it moved the index to v4.3, so its scores are not comparable across versions.

The 2024 edition of this page linked its audience-demographic figures to similarweb.com/website/gemini.com, which profiles the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange rather than Google’s assistant. The figures themselves track Google Gemini’s own profile closely, including a United States traffic share near 13% rather than the exchange’s 53%, so they have been retained and the citations repointed to gemini.google.com.

Two claims carried since 2024 have been corrected rather than removed. The 1,000 requests-per-minute rate limit was a paid-tier figure for Gemini 1.5 Pro, not a free-tier one. The multimodal-architecture claim was cited to an independent evaluation of Gemini’s language abilities that excludes images, audio and video from its scope; it now points to Google’s own Gemini 1.0 technical report.

Excluded from this page: any Gemini revenue figure, because Alphabet does not report one; per-model API rate limits, because Google no longer publishes them; and the “13.5% market share,” “85 billion monthly API requests,” “2.4 million API developers” and “52% of downloads from India” figures that circulate widely without a traceable primary source.
