How “ChatOn AI” Scaled to $5M/Month by Packaging ChatGPT for the Masses

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.

🚀 Turn your app from “Launched” to “Growing” in just 3 weeks.

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.
