Only 2.2% of US Households Pay for AI, but Average Spend Hits $31/Month: a16z Data
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-10-01
a16z chart data shows the share of US households paying for AI more than doubled in a year, from roughly 1% to 2.2% — meaning about 98 of every 100 households still don't pay. Average subscriber spend hit $31/month in May 2026, rising faster in the past four months than in the previous twenty, a sign the market is still very early.
