Cite Solutions Research

Upstox appeared 5.3% less often in investing apps answers on 22 May 2026 than the day before.

The move

Zerodha held the lead, named in **89.3%** of investing apps answers, ahead of Groww at **88.0%**. The engines split: ChatGPT led with Groww, Gemini with Zerodha, and Google AI Mode with Zerodha.

The biggest single-day move was Upstox, appearing **5.3%** less often than the day before.

What it means

At **89.3%** citation share, Zerodha holds investing apps in AI answers about as tightly as any brand in our index.

The recommendation slot for the category leader is effectively closed; the contest is for the second and third names.

The engines disagreeing on the leader means a buyer asking ChatGPT versus Google AI Mode for investing apps gets a different first recommendation, which is the clearest sign the category is still being decided.

New domains entered the citation pool on this day, including agnifolio.com and aivivek.com, a signal that the engines are widening the evidence set they pull from for investing apps.
