Editorial changelog
Newest first. Each entry is dated and, where applicable, anchored to the specific apps that changed.
Refreshed the State of ChatGPT Apps report to its mid-year 2026 edition. Snapshot as of this date: the directory tracks 65 apps (up from the 25-app April seed); the editorial-score ceiling sits in the 80s with none yet in the 90s, roughly 83% of apps land in the 70–89 band (mean score 75), and about 85% ship a usable free plan. The report's headline aggregates recompute from the live dataset on every build; this edition updates the narrative, the dated snapshot, and the citation line.
Major content expansion. Added Tripadvisor and Peloton — two of the first-batch built-in ChatGPT apps (launched 2025-11-06, free on all plans outside the EU). Shipped 9 hand-written head-to-heads (PowerPoint vs Canva, Expedia vs Kayak, Booking vs Tripadvisor, Peloton vs MyFitnessPal, HubSpot vs Salesforce, Notion vs Airtable, Coursera vs Duolingo, Gmail vs Slack, OpenTable vs Tripadvisor), 12 new direct-answer FAQ pages (presentations, spreadsheets, workouts, restaurant reservations, things-to-do, music, language learning, shopping, notes/wiki, project management, ecommerce), 10 new per-app how-to tutorials (Excel, PowerPoint, Gmail, Google Calendar, Airtable, Shopify, Coursera, Tripadvisor, Peloton), and a new Presentations vertical landing page. Added Peloton to the health-and-fitness vertical.
Added Wix and Hostinger — the two native ChatGPT website-builder apps — and shipped the 'How to build a website with ChatGPT' pillar plus a website-builder comparison cluster (Wix vs Hostinger, Wix vs Replit, all builders compared). Reframed the web-hosting vertical to lead with the no-code (Wix) and code-and-deploy (Replit) picks. Both new apps are listed as Needs verification pending a hands-on build.
Editorial freshness pass: re-tested the top 20 apps by editorial score (Canva, Wolfram, GitHub, Google Drive, Notion, Google Calendar, Gmail, Adobe Acrobat, Zapier, Replit, Spotify, Slack, Airtable, Stripe, Linear, HubSpot, Figma, Adobe Express, Zillow, Uber) and bumped their last-tested date. No score changes — capabilities held steady across the session.
SEO refresh: added 'Best ChatGPT Apps for SEO' vertical, stamped all category and vertical titles with 'Updated June 2026', and tightened the SoftwareApplication JSON-LD on app reviews (the editorial rating is now expressed via Review schema only).
Published the State of ChatGPT Apps 2026 Q2 report and three developer guides: how to submit your app, ChatGPT App Directory Optimization, and the Apps SDK quickstart.
Added the Trending ChatGPT apps page surfacing the most-recently-tested and highest-scoring apps in chat.
Glossary expanded with chatgpt-mcp explainer covering Model Context Protocol and what counts as a ChatGPT MCP app.
Wolfram retested for math accuracy; GitHub PR-summarization re-evaluated.
Google Drive and Google Calendar verified; both raised to Verified status.
Canva retested; brand-kit awareness confirmed for Pro accounts.
Notion verified for workspace search + writeback under scoped permissions.
Slack channel-catch-up verified.
Initial seed of 25 apps published with editorial scores and methodology.
