Based on BlockTempo, Perplexity AI's global app downloads have plummeted by approximately 80% over the past six weeks, according to investor Sasha Kaletsky. The decline, from October 15 to November 25, 2025, contrasts sharply with its earlier rapid growth, such as a 600% surge in India due to a partnership with Airtel. Analysts attribute the drop to reliance on paid marketing, declining product quality, and intensified competition from major players like OpenAI, Google, and xAI. The situation highlights the challenges faced by independent AI startups in a rapidly consolidating market.
