Reaching a billion monthly active users signifies a software's essential role in daily life and digital interaction.
Spotify reached 290 million paid subscribers in its fourth quarter, up 10 percent year over year. Overall, monthly active users hit 751 million, an increase of 38 million, marking the highest number of net adds in Spotify's history. Both users' numbers were above Spotify's guidance. The company attributed the growth in monthly active users to a successful Wrapped campaign, as well as enhancements to the free tier on mobile.
Google's AI chatbot Gemini has surpassed 750 million monthly active users (MAUs), according to the company's fourth-quarter 2025 earnings. This figure illustrates the rapid consumer adoption of Gemini, which has quickly become a prominent player in the AI space. Last quarter, Google reported 650 million monthly active users for Gemini, indicating substantial growth in a short period. In comparison, Meta AI has reported nearly 500 million monthly users.
