Muse overtakes ChatGPT in the US App Store: reaches No. 1 among free apps a week later
On September 19, 2026, Muse ranked No. 1 among free apps in the US App Store, overtaking ChatGPT a week after launch. Meta launched the AI agent on September 8, 2026, in the US on iOS, Android, and via muse.ai. Muse opens a browser, fills out forms, makes purchases and bookings, and asks for confirmation before sending an email or making a purchase.
In 2023, AutoGPT collected 100 thousand stars in a few months, but there were almost no shipped products. **Now.** By September 10, Muse had surpassed 83 thousand iOS installs in the US, and on September 19 it ranked No. 1 in the free apps category, overtaking ChatGPT.
How it works. Muse plans steps on its own, calls tools, and keeps working after the app is closed. Entrepreneur Joe Devey said the agent found insurance with $3 500 in annual savings in about 5 minutes, purchased it, and cancelled the old policy. In the US, Muse is available to adult users through the App Store, Meta's website, and WhatsApp. The free plan is limited; Power costs $20 and Maximum $100 per month.
As of September 19, Muse remains available to adult users in the US, with paid plans priced at $20 and $100 per month.
