Growing.

Over two years, visits went from 1.7M in November 2024 to a high of 5.9M in February 2026, fell to 3.1M in July 2026, and recovered to 4.3M in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, CrushOn AI, which is why I also look at the market without it.

Miles explains

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

“ai roleplay” is searched about 49,500 times a month worldwide, 45% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai roleplay” until April 2023; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026. Americans make 45% of the searches but only 25.3% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Brazil and Canada.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is higher than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago only because of CrushOn AI, but more people searching by name, and the next six months look uneven, up and then down.

The fastest growers over the year, Bubio.ai, Nastia and Kindroid, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by CrushOn AI, lost ground (-45%).

Harpy +18%

Kindroid -25%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Bubio.ai’s +861% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be 12% fewer than October 2026, and the next six months to look down.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward with the seasonal pattern, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a quieter month than average for searches.

Expected in November 2026

3,779,343 visits

Likely range

3.3M to 4.2M

Expected in May 2027

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 5 times.

The most visited is SpicyChat, with 2.3 million visits a month, 53% of all visits.

SpicyChat and CrushOn AI together hold 87% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 5 sites share 1.3%.

SpicyChat alone has 53% 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 roleplay”, 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.
