Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 4.3M in November 2024 to a high of 6.8M in July 2025, and stand at 2.1M in October 2026. Five sites take 99.4% of visits, so one ranking change at the top moves the whole line.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.

“ai caption generator” is searched about 12,100 times a month worldwide, 13% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai caption generator” until January 2023; interest then climbed to its peak in June 2023. Americans make 13% of the searches but only 9.8% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Canada and United Kingdom.

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.

Fewer visits than a year ago, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look like a slide.

The losers, led by ContentStudio, lost most of their search visits (-78%).

I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look down.

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

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 4 times.

The most visited is Hootsuite, with 1.1 million visits a month, 52% of all visits.

Hootsuite and ContentStudio together hold 78% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 1 sites share 0.6%.

Miles explains

Hootsuite alone has 52% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.

Yes. Every number on these pages comes from two CSV files, free to download.

sites.csv has one row per site: its Google US position for “ai caption generator”, Tranco rank, Chrome UX tier, visits from Google worldwide and in the US, name searches, Domain Rating and referring domains, with the month each figure covers. market.csv has the monthly totals across the tracked sites: visits worldwide and in the US, name searches and referring domains. Blanks mean the source had no figure, never zero.
