## Chart

Line chart tracking monthly reach (%) for six benchmark apps from April 2025 to March 2026, showing ChatGPT climbing from 20% to 30%, Gemini doubling from 9% to 18%, and TikTok peaking at 60%.

## Methodology

Monthly AGOF-weighted reach, expressed as a share of active panel base. Source: Google Play Store app-use event stream. Each month uses an independent base of German internet users (16+) with ≥1 app-use event in that month, re-raked on age × gender × education against AGOF de_online_population marginals (67 million reference population). This monthly re-weighting controls for seasonal panel composition shifts. Monthly bases range approximately 6,000–10,000 panelists (reduced in February–March 2026). 95% confidence intervals shown in chart tooltips.
