Is the AI dating app market growing or shrinking?

The answer▼ Shrinking

Visits, year on year, without ROAST
+1.1%
Visits, last six months
-22%
Name searches vs October 2025
-18%

Every month I add up the Google visits to the 9 AI dating app sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 273,395 visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, ROAST; without it, visits are about level on a year ago.

The total hides very different stories: one site grew 27% in a year while another lost 90% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

1.Are more people visiting AI dating app sites than a year ago?

Down 18% on a year ago; up 43% on September 2026

Only because of ROAST. The 9 tracked AI dating app sites got 273,395 visits from Google search in October 2026. That is 18% fewer visits than in October 2025, or about the same without ROAST, and 43% more visits than in September 2026.

The highest month of the last two years was April 2025, with 768,147 visits; October 2026 is 64% below it. In the US, visits were 57,082, down 6% on a year ago.

Miles explains

Visits are lower than a year ago, but the fall looks like it has stopped: October 2026 was up on September 2026. Name searches (-18%) and Google Trends interest in the term (-76%) fell too, so people are less interested, not just finding these sites less often.

2.Are people searching for AI dating app sites by name?

Down 18% on October 2025; 338K name searches a month in the US

Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI dating app sites 338,170 times in September 2026, 18% fewer searches than in October 2025. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose. The term “ai dating app” itself gets about 3,600 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Miles explains

Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.

3.Which AI dating app sites grew, and which shrank?

The five most-visited sites hold 98.4% of all visits

The five most-visited AI dating app sites get 98.4% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Fastest grower over the year: RIZZ, from 47,211 to 60,116 visits (+27%). Steepest fall: YourMove, from 52,164 to 5,478 visits (-90%).
