ChatGPT apps by country

Apps visible to an anonymous visitor from each country’s IP, top 15 shown. The union across all 26 is 2,349; the widest single view (US) sees 93% of it. Geography is a thin layer — the bigger gap to authenticated trackers is login-gated.

Directory growth

What changed

Cumulative apps by the month they entered each directory. Claude uses first-party added_at — a genuine spread. ChatGPT’s dates are directory-migration stamps (OpenAI’s July 9, 2026 Plugin-directory migration restamped records), so they read as a June step, not a launch curve. Claude daily totals since 2026-08-03: 08-13 → 74 · 08-14 → 76 · 08-15 → 77 · 08-16 → 79 · 08-17 → 80.

Hotels in the app stores

Hotels are, so far, a ChatGPT phenomenon: 33 hotel apps in ChatGPT’s directory against 3 on Claude. The major chains have nearly all shipped a ChatGPT app and gone direct — and underneath them sits a visible direct-booking layer (7 tools whose whole pitch is keeping the booking off the OTAs), which is the part worth watching if you sell hotel distribution.

Travel-category apps whose name reads as lodging — ChatGPT from the US vantage (the widest anonymous view), Claude from its directory. A booking product is bucketed by what it is (chain / OTA / direct-tech), not just its name.

The travel slice feeds a daily email digest: new connectors, removals, and rank or popularity movers.

Categories

Method

Snapshots come from Claude’s public directory API once a day; every snapshot is retained, and the day-over-day diff (additions, removals, rank and popularity movers) is computed and stored. Adoption signals are the platform’s own published numbers with undocumented units. A directory listing is an observation about the catalog, not a quality judgment. ChatGPT’s side joins once per-country daily vantages are in place — its catalog is country-shaped.
