Microsoft Copilot User Growth Revealed
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) reported significant growth in its AI chatbot, Copilot, during its latest earnings call, revealing that it now has 15 million paid users—up 160% year-over-year. The service is priced at $30 per user per month. Notably, some organizations have adopted Copilot extensively, with clients like Fiserv and the U.S. Department of the Interior using over 35,000 seats. Despite this success, Copilot represents only 3.3% of Microsoft’s total 450 million Microsoft 365 subscribers, raising concerns about its overall adoption in the market.
Additionally, Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot has reached 4.7 million paid subscribers, which constitutes about 3.1% of GitHub’s 150 million registered developers. While daily active users and average conversations per user have reportedly increased, analysts suggest that broader Copilot adoption is lagging, and Microsoft’s substantial investments in AI infrastructure are yet to yield a competitive edge against major players like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
