1Is the AI app builder market growing in 2026?
Neither growing nor shrinking, but name searches are up 21% since October 2025.
Over two years, visits went from 4.2M in November 2024 to a high of 7.2M in December 2024, fell to 4.3M in April 2025, and recovered to 5.3M in October 2026. Five sites take 59.1% of visits, so one ranking change at the top moves the whole line.

WorldVisits a month to AI app builder sites, worldwide
Miles explains
I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are level and name searches are up, so they don’t agree yet.
Search trends
2How many people search for AI app builders in 2026?
“ai app builder” is searched about 40,500 times a month worldwide, 30% of it in the US.
Google Trends barely registered “ai app builder” until August 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in August 2026. Americans make 30% of the searches but only 10.6% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Brazil and United Kingdom.

WorldGoogle Trends interest in "ai app builder", worldwide (0–100)
Miles explains
Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.
Monthly analysis
3What changed in the AI app builder market in October 2026?
About as many visits as a year ago, more people searching by name, and the next six months look flat after a step up.
The fastest growers over the year, Base44, Emergent and Lovable, each grew several times over, usually from a small base. The losers, led by Budibase, lost most of their search visits (-86%).

Falling fastest, year on year

Miles explains
Huge percentages like Base44’s +2313% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.
Monthly forecast
4What happens next for AI app builders?
I expect November 2026 to be 7% more than October 2026, and the next six months to look up.
The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a quieter month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.
- Expected in November 2026
- 5,686,976 visits
- Likely range

Miles explains
Replit alone has 16% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
