Market demand
1Is the AI paraphrasing tool market growing in 2026?
Shrinking.
Over two years, visits went from 20M in November 2024 to a high of 43M in January 2026, and stand at 26M in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Grammarly, which is why I also look at the market without it.

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

Monthly forecast
4What happens next for AI paraphrasing tools?
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 busier month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.

Grammarly alone has 85% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
