Every month I add up the Google visits to the 18 AI subtitle generator 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 10 million visits. VEED made most of the move in October 2026: it lost 1,135,922 of the market's 1,912,656 visits; without it, visits to the other sites fell 9.6% on September 2026.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 66% in a year while another lost 83% 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
Visits are lower than a year ago and lower than in September 2026, so the fall is still going. Name searches (-15%) and Google Trends interest in the term (-52%) fell too, so people are less interested, not just finding these sites less often.
2.Are people searching for AI subtitle generator sites by name?
Down 15% on October 2025; 291K name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI subtitle generator sites 291,410 times in September 2026, 15% 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 subtitle generator” itself gets about 880 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 subtitle generator sites grew, and which shrank?
The five most-visited sites hold 92.1% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 98.3%
The five most-visited AI subtitle generator sites get 92.1% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Fastest grower over the year: Maestra AI, from 1,614,286 to 2,670,874 visits (+66%). Steepest fall: Zubtitle, from 84,345 to 14,197 visits (-83%).
