Every month I add up the Google visits to the 16 AI homework helper 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 9.5 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Numerade; without it, visits are about level on a year ago.

The total hides very different stories: one site grew 663% in a year while another lost 100% 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.

Miles explains

More visits than a year ago means new people are still finding AI homework helper sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, Numerade; without it, visits are about level on a year ago.

2.Are people searching for AI homework helper sites by name?

Down 65% on October 2025; 582K name searches a month in the US

Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI homework helper sites 581,980 times in September 2026, 65% 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 homework helper” itself gets about 60,500 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

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

3.Which AI homework helper sites grew, and which shrank?

The five most-visited sites hold 97.5% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 99.7%

The five most-visited AI homework helper sites get 97.5% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Fastest grower over the year: Edubrain, from 50,513 to 385,353 visits (+663%). Steepest fall: Socratic, from 50,912 to 10 visits (-100%).
