Cite Solutions Research

Groww displaced Zerodha at the top of Investing Apps with 85.3% citation share versus Zerodha's 82.7%, though Gemini still ranked Zerodha first at 84% share.

The move

Groww leads this edition with 85.3% citation share, gaining one rank position from the previous edition when Zerodha held the top spot at 88%.

Zerodha sits second at 82.7%, a decline of 5.3 percentage points from the previous edition.

The three engines did not fully agree: ChatGPT and Google AI Mode both ranked Groww first at 88% citation share each, while Gemini ranked Zerodha first at 84%.

The biggest single-edition mover was Dhan, which fell 9.3 percentage points to 38.7% citation share while holding rank 5.

Thirty new source domains entered the citation pool, including moneycontrol.com, financialexpress.com, ndtv.com, and tradingview.com.

What it means

The Groww-Zerodha gap is only 2.6 percentage points, making this the narrowest top-two margin in this vertical in recent editions and describing a genuine duopoly where a single edition can flip the lead without any meaningful underlying shift in brand standing.

Gemini's preference for Zerodha at 84%, compared to Groww's 88% on both ChatGPT and AI Mode, is a structurally relevant engine split for media planning: buyers optimizing for Gemini visibility should prioritize Zerodha's citation profile, while ChatGPT and AI Mode campaigns structurally favor Groww.

Dhan's 9.3-percentage-point decline from the previous edition is large enough to flag, though at 38.7% share and rank 5 it remains a material third-tier player; this edition's drop looks like a single-edition correction given the lack of rank movement.

The thirty new source domains, which include major financial news outlets and brokerage comparison sites, represent a significant pool expansion that could redistribute relative shares in coming editions, particularly for brands with strong editorial coverage in mainstream financial media.

Operators in the Groww-Zerodha-Upstox tier should monitor source-pool growth closely given the pace of new domain entry.
