\nThe annual Digital 100 ranking for 2026<\/a>, released today by the digital market intelligence experts at Similarweb (NYSE: SMWB), celebrates the companies that demonstrated the most significant digital growth in the US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, India, and Brazil.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAny company that can sustain growth by double digits or more over the course of a year deserves immense respect, and the Digital 100 is our way of recognizing those companies,\u201d said Or Offer, founder and CEO of Similarweb. \u201cMeasuring websites and apps according to common metrics is a great way of recognizing excellence and providing inspiration to all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWinners do not apply for or lobby for these awards. Instead, this premium ranking is powered by an objective, rigorous analysis of billions of digital signals across more than 100 million companies. The awards are organized around industry categories for estimated web and app audience growth.<\/p>\n
\nOne winner in multiple countries was ChatGPT, OpenAI\u2019s generative AI chatbot, which was a #1 winner among the biggest sites and apps in the US, the UK, Germany, Australia, and Japan. (In Brazil, Temu was #1, both for its website and its app). The audience for ChatGPT mobile app was particularly strong, up approximately 127.9% in the US, 142.6% in the UK, 125.2% in Germany, 131.7% in Australia, 131.1% in Japan, 124.3% in Brazil, and 135.4% in France. In France, ChatGPT was fastest growing mobile app and #2 behind Temu for growth on the web.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe rising popularity of generative AI continues to be a growth engine, not only for ChatGPT but for apps like Canva that have baked AI-augmented productivity into their platforms,\u201d said Laurie Naspe, Director of Market Insights for Similarweb. \u201cThe digital businesses gaining the most seem to be those who are finding practical uses for the technology. In general, The most common theme we saw among the big winners is that their value lay in promising users greater productivity or economic utility, as opposed to time-wasting distractions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nFor the US and UK, the industry categories included Fashion & Apparel, Beauty & Health, Consumer Electronics, Food & Hospitality, Games, Home & Lifestyle, Media & Entertainment, Financial Services, and Travel and Tourism, plus a \u201cBig Winners\u201d category for the largest websites and apps. Other country reports featured a subset of these categories. The industry Category winners generally achieved larger percentage gains than the Big Winners, but on a smaller scale.<\/p>\n
\nThe Digital 100 ranks web domains and mobile apps based on their performance over 12 months compared with the previous 12 months. Websites are ranked by growth in estimated desktop and mobile web unique visitors, while apps are ranked by growth in estimated monthly active users for iOS and Android.<\/p>\n
\nIn addition to ChatGPT, notable multi-country winners included Meta\u2019s Threads app, Bluesky Social (as both a website and as an app), Temu (both web and app), Canva on the web, the website of the MEXC crypto exchange, and several fitness and self-care apps.<\/p>\n
