Cite Solutions Research

Zerodha and Groww tied at 86.1% citation share in Investing Apps, with ChatGPT favoring Groww at 87.5% and Gemini and Google AI Mode both ranking Zerodha first.

The move

Zerodha holds rank 1 at 86.1% citation share, down 1.2 percentage points from the previous edition's 87.3%, while Groww gained 0.1 percentage points to also reach 86.1% at rank 2.

ChatGPT ranked Groww first at 87.5%, while Gemini and Google AI Mode both chose Zerodha at 89.6% and 83.3% respectively.

Angel One gained 3.5 percentage points to 52.8% at rank 3, and 5paisa was the biggest mover, gaining 5.8 percentage points to 11.8% at rank 10.

Forty-one new domains entered the citation pool including reuters.com, statista.com, and cleartax.in.

What it means

The near-perfect tie between Zerodha and Groww at 86.1% reflects a structurally stable duopoly at the top, with neither brand achieving clear dominance across the full AI citation landscape.

The engine split is the most actionable structural fact for a buyer: ChatGPT favors Groww, while Gemini and Google AI Mode favor Zerodha, meaning the preferred brand changes depending on which AI surface a user reaches.

Zerodha's marginal 1.2 percentage-point decline is noise given the tight band in which both leaders operate and the brand's unchanged rank.

Angel One and Upstox, clustered around 52%, form a mid-tier with genuine citation presence but a 34 percentage-point gap to the top two that makes a near-term rank challenge unlikely. 5paisa's 5.8 percentage-point gain at rank 10 reflects baseline volatility typical of low-citation brands and is not indicative of structural ascent.
