Lark (also known as Lark Suite) is an all-in-one productivity and collaboration platform developed by ByteDance. In China, the platform is branded as Feishu. Lark bundles team chat, meetings, collaborative docs, calendars, email, workflows, and admin controls into a single workspace designed for modern, distributed teams.
This 2026 update focuses on the most verifiable metrics available (publicly reported user and revenue signals), plus a clear explanation of what Lark includes, how it differs from Feishu, and which stats are historical versus current.
Answer Box (2026): How big is Lark / Feishu?
- User metric (historical, China): TechNode reported Feishu reached 4.5 million daily active users in November 2021.
- Revenue signal (reported): Yicai Global reported Lark’s CEO said ARR was expected to top $300M in 2024.
- Product usage (reported): 36Kr reported Feishu disclosed 10M+ monthly active users for its “Multi-dimensional Tables” feature (July 2025).
Key Lark Metrics (Latest Available)
| Metric | Value | Year / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Developer | ByteDance | Platform owner |
| Brand names | Lark (global) / Feishu (China) | Operated separately |
| Feishu daily active users (DAU) | 4.5 million | Nov 2021 (historical benchmark) |
| ARR (reported forecast) | Expected to top $300M | 2024 (CEO quote reported by Yicai Global) |
| Feature usage (Feishu Tables) | 10M+ MAU | July 2025 (disclosed by Feishu via 36Kr) |
| Data separation claim | Lark and Feishu store user data separately | Commonly cited platform distinction |
What Lark Includes (Core Product Modules)
Lark is positioned as a single workspace that replaces a “stack” of separate tools. Commonly used modules include:
- Chat: team messaging with threads and file sharing
- Meetings: audio/video calls and screen sharing for remote collaboration
- Docs and collaboration: shared docs, spreadsheets, and knowledge bases
- Calendar and email: scheduling + built-in communication for teams that prefer one platform
- Work management: tasks, approvals, and lightweight workflow automation
Lark vs. Feishu: Same “Suite,” Different Markets
“Lark” and “Feishu” are often used interchangeably online, but they’re typically described as separate offerings for different regions. One commonly cited distinction is that Lark (international) and Feishu (China) operate independently and store user data separately. This matters for multinational companies evaluating data residency, compliance requirements, and administrative controls.
Lark Users and Growth: What’s Publicly Disclosed
Lark/Feishu does not publish a single, regularly updated global user count the way some consumer apps do. The most cited user metric is a historical China benchmark: TechNode reported Feishu had 4.5M daily active users in Nov 2021.
More recent disclosures have tended to be feature-level usage rather than full-platform DAU/MAU. For example, 36Kr reported Feishu disclosed that Multi-dimensional Tables exceeded 10M monthly active users (July 2025), indicating significant adoption of its “database/spreadsheet hybrid” module inside organizations.
Revenue / ARR Signals (2026 Update)
Lark is a business-to-business product, so recurring revenue is often a clearer signal than app downloads. In September 2024, Yicai Global reported that Lark’s CEO said the company expected ARR to top $300M in 2024. Because this figure was reported as a forecast/expectation, it’s best treated as a directional indicator rather than an audited, filed number.
What Changed Recently: AI Features and Hardware Experiments
In early 2026, reporting indicated Lark was exploring hardware alongside software—testing an AI-powered recorder developed with Anker that can capture meetings and generate summaries using ByteDance’s Doubao model. If this direction continues, it points to Lark competing not only with office suites, but also with AI meeting-note and workflow automation tools.
FAQ
How many users does Lark have?
Lark does not consistently publish a single global user count. A widely cited historical benchmark is that TechNode reported Feishu reached 4.5M daily active users in China in Nov 2021. More recent disclosures have often been feature-level, such as Feishu reporting 10M+ monthly active users for Multi-dimensional Tables (July 2025).
Is Lark the same as Feishu?
They are closely related products under ByteDance, but they’re typically described as separate offerings for different markets. A commonly cited distinction is that Lark (international) and Feishu (China) operate independently and store user data separately.
How much revenue does Lark make?
Lark is privately operated under ByteDance, so audited financials aren’t published like a standalone public company. However, Yicai Global reported Lark’s CEO said ARR was expected to top $300M in 2024.
What is Lark used for?
Lark is used for team collaboration and productivity—messaging, meetings, collaborative docs, calendars, and workflow-style work management—aimed at reducing tool sprawl and keeping teams in one workspace.
Does Lark include AI features?
AI features are increasingly part of Lark/Feishu’s roadmap. Reporting in early 2026 described Lark testing an AI-powered recorder (with Anker) for meeting capture and summaries.
