ChatOn isn’t an AI breakthrough.
It’s a distribution machine that turned ChatGPT into a mainstream consumer app.
Here’s how they did it 👇
Onboarding That Shows, Then Sells
Instead of explaining AI, ChatOn shows what it can do:
Then → soft paywall before you can explore.
Outcomes first, friction later.

Positioning ChatGPT as More Than Chat
Why pay for something that’s free?
Because outside tech, most people think ChatGPT = just chatting.
ChatOn reframes it as:
📸 Image generator
🎥 Video summarizer
💡 Health + lifestyle tips
✍️ Content creation assistant
They package ChatGPT for mainstream use cases.
Reviews Right Away
After your first session, ChatOn asks for a review.
It’s bold – but it works:
⭐ 4.7 average
📝 229K+ reviews
High volume → higher trust → more downloads.
ASO Domination
ChatOn ranks for 1,000+ keywords in the Top 3.
Most valuable: 🏆 #3 for “ChatGPT” – a single spot worth tens of thousands of installs/month.
Paid + SEO Blitz
Organic is just one layer. The real engine is ads + awareness:
-
ASA: 5,000+ keywords (ChatGPT, Grok, other LLMs)
-
Facebook: 55 active ads
-
Google: 6,000+ ads (parent company AIBY, heavily weighted toward ChatOn)
-
Website: 1M+ visitors/month (mostly direct traffic, showing strong brand pull)
Wherever people search for AI, ChatOn is there.
