Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 119K in November 2024 to a high of 434K in February 2026, and stand at 280K in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Deepware Scanner, 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 level and name searches are down, so they don’t agree yet.

“ai video detector” is searched about 12,100 times a month worldwide, 30% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai video detector” until March 2024; interest then climbed to its peak in March 2026. Americans make 30% of the searches but only 23.3% 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.

Fewer visits than a year ago only because of Deepware Scanner, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look flat.

The fastest growers over the year, Cudekai and AI or Not, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Sensity AI, lost most of their search visits (-92%).

DetectVideo AI -36%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Cudekai’s +161% 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 flat.

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.

Expected in November 2026

Past forecasts in range

6 of 6 months

Miles explains

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

The most visited is Cudekai, with 88,002 visits a month, 31% of all visits.

Cudekai and Sightengine together hold 56% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 12 sites share 9.1%.

Miles explains

Cudekai alone has 31% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
