Anthropic\u2019s Super Bowl ads<\/a> \u2014 which feature darkly comedic scenarios of people seeking advice from chatbots, only to be steered to \u201ccougar\u201d dating sites and height-boosting insoles \u2014 have been paying off. In the days since, Anthropic\u2019s AI chatbot Claude has climbed from No. 41 on the U.S. App Store to become a top 10 app. As of Friday, Claude sits at No. 7 \u2014 its highest rank to date \u2014 suggesting its \u201cno ads\u201d pitch resonates strongly with users.<\/p>\n

According to new data from market intelligence provider Appfigures<\/a>, Claude\u2019s U.S. downloads across both iOS and Android totaled an estimated 148,000 from Sunday through Tuesday \u2014 the most recent data available. That\u2019s a 32% increase from the preceding three days, Thursday through Saturday, where downloads totaled approximately 112,000.<\/p>\n

Claude\u2019s daily average number of downloads from Sunday through Tuesday was 49,200, up 32% from the usual Sunday through Tuesday average of 37,400 per day.<\/p>\n

The numbers suggest that Anthropic\u2019s Super Bowl commercials, combined with Anthropic\u2019s recent release of its new Opus 4.6 model<\/a>, worked to drive attention to Claude\u2019s app and its key differentiator from ChatGPT. The latter rolled out ads to free users<\/a> this week, just as Anthropic\u2019s ads had warned.<\/p>\n

As a result, Claude\u2019s app is gaining more attention than it did when it first debuted on mobile. <\/p>\n

The consumer-focused AI app arrived on iOS in May 2024<\/a> to a fairly tepid reception. ChatGPT had beaten it to market on mobile devices and had grown to nearly half a million installs<\/a> in its first five days. By comparison, Claude had only pulled in 157,000 total global downloads within its first week and didn\u2019t reach a rank higher than No. 55 on the U.S. App Store.<\/p>\n

Globally, Claude saw some gains this past week, too. Overall worldwide downloads of Claude across both the App Store and Google Play grew 15% from Sunday to Tuesday versus last Thursday to Saturday. However, this was less than half the gains seen in the U.S., Appfigures noted.<\/p>\n
