Cite Solutions Research

Groww moved to rank 1 at 90.7% citation share, edging Zerodha by thin margins across all three engines, while Angel One shed 4% to 54% with its sharpest loss on AI Mode at 44%.

The move

Groww moved to rank 1 with 90.7% citation share (+2.7%), edging Zerodha at 89.3% (+1.3%) on every engine: ChatGPT 92% vs 90%, Gemini 92% vs 92% (tied at equal share, Groww at rank 1), AI Mode 88% vs 86%.

No single engine flipped decisively; both brands gained citation share this edition and Groww simply grew marginally faster.

Angel One is the biggest mover in the negative direction, shedding 4% to 54% and falling from rank 3 to rank 4, with its sharpest engine gap on AI Mode at 44% versus ChatGPT 58% and Gemini 60%.

No source-pool entrant in this edition is specifically tied to Angel One's decline.

What it means

At 90.7% for Groww and 89.3% for Zerodha, both leaders are in the near-locked range, but the gap between them is thin enough that a marginal shift on any single engine could flip the rank again.

There is a pronounced cliff between the top two and the rest: Upstox and Angel One at 54% sit roughly 36 percentage points below the co-leaders.

Angel One's AI Mode weakness at 44% while holding 58-60% on other engines is the clearest platform-specific gap this edition; AI Mode appears to concentrate citation share at the very top of this vertical more aggressively than ChatGPT or Gemini.

For operators at ranks 3 and 4, AI Mode is the most concentrated engine in investing apps and the surface where structured content improvements would have the highest marginal return.
