Provider Market Share Tracker

Analyzes provider presence by model count, score dominance, cost distribution, and capability breadth across all tracked AI providers.

Note: “Market share” here refers to the number of models each provider offers across tracked API sources, not user adoption, revenue, or app installs. A provider with many model variants (e.g. different sizes) will show a larger share, while a provider with fewer but highly popular models may show a smaller share.

OpenAI, Alibaba, Google

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) measures market concentration by summing the squares of each provider's market share percentage. An HHI below 1,500 indicates a competitive market, 1,500-2,500 indicates moderate concentration, and above 2,500 indicates high concentration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Market share here refers to the proportion of models each provider offers across our tracked API sources. It measures model catalog breadth rather than user adoption, revenue, or API call volume.

The provider with the largest model catalog is shown in the Market Overview section above. Providers with many model variants (different sizes, fine-tunes) naturally show a larger share.

We use the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), a standard economic measure. An HHI below 1,500 indicates a competitive market, 1,500-2,500 is moderately concentrated, and above 2,500 is highly concentrated.

Market share data refreshes hourly as our pipeline pulls the latest model catalog from OpenRouter. New models and provider changes are reflected within one update cycle.
