As of May 2025, ChatGPT.com and X.com (formerly Twitter) are the fifth- and sixth-most-visited websites in the world, respectively.
But while both platforms continue to command massive global audiences, the gap between the two is widening.
This infographic compares global website traffic growth for ChatGPT.com and X.com (formerly Twitter) between April and May 2025, using data from Similarweb.
ChatGPT surpassed X in total visits for the first time in April 2025. The trajectory continued in May, with ChatGPT recording 5.49 billion visits, compared to 4.39 billion visits for X.
ChatGPT’s monthly web traffic grew by 6.8% or 350 million visits in May, slowing down from 13% in April. In comparison, web traffic on X grew by 1.1% or 49 million visits in May 2025, after having recorded a 5% drop in April.
However, it’s worth noting that both websites serve completely different functions.
ChatGPT serves as a generative AI tool being increasingly woven into work, learning, and productivity. It’s also the most popular AI tool worldwide and has seen exponential growth compared to competitors. Meanwhile, X is primarily a social media network known for news and discourse on current events.
ChatGPT’s momentum reflects a broader trend in how users are allocating time online and embedding AI into their daily routines.
If current trends continue, the gap between these two platforms will likely continue to widen. However, ChatGPT remains far from the likes of Google and YouTube, which saw 105 billion and 47 billion website visits in April, respectively.
