Shrinking, but visits are up 7.2% over the last six months.

Over two years, visits went from 117M in November 2024 to a high of 192M in September 2026, and stand at 180M in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Symbolab, 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 down and name searches are down, so they agree.

“ai study tools” is searched about 14,800 times a month worldwide, 45% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai study tools” until June 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in March 2026. Americans make 45% of the searches but only 26.5% 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.

More visits than a year ago only because of Symbolab, but fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look about flat.

The fastest growers over the year, EduBrain.AI, Loora and Taalhammer, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Socratic, lost most of their search visits (-100%).

Khanmigo -35%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like EduBrain.AI’s +663% 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 about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look up.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months.

Expected in November 2026

183,641,839 visits

Likely range

169M to 199M

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 4 times.

The most visited is Symbolab, with 103 million visits a month, 57% of all visits.

Symbolab and Grammarly expand-6 together hold 69% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 144 sites share 18.8%.

Miles explains

Symbolab alone has 57% 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 study tools”, 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.
