Cite Solutions Research

Angel One lost 11.8 percentage points across all three engines to fall to 50.3% and drop a rank, while INDmoney gained 8.4 percentage points on a ChatGPT-specific surge, as comparison broker directories entered the citation pool.

The move

Groww retained the lead at 91.5% citation share, gaining 2.1 percentage points from the previous edition, with AI Mode its strongest engine at 95.7% (rank 1) and Gemini its softest at 85.1%; Zerodha leads ChatGPT at 97.9% (rank 1).

Angel One is the biggest mover, falling 11.8 percentage points to 50.3% and dropping to rank 4, with losses spread across ChatGPT (63.8%), Gemini (46.8%), and AI Mode (40.4%), and no single engine driving the decline.

INDmoney is the largest positive mover at +8.4 percentage points to 33.4%, with the gain led by ChatGPT (42.6%) compared to Gemini (36.2%) and AI Mode (21.3%).

The citation pool expanded with comparison broker directories including comparebroker.info, brokersdb.com, and thebeststockbroker.com entering, along with varsity.zerodha.com.

What it means

The investing-apps vertical is near-locked at the top with Groww and Zerodha both above 88%, but the competitive zone at ranks 3 through 6 is where today's movement concentrated and where the pool expansion had visible effect.

Angel One's 11.8-percentage-point decline across all engines without a visible product-side mechanism is consistent with comparison broker directories entering the pool and distributing share across a wider set of alternatives; treat it as structural dilution rather than a targeted shift against Angel One unless it repeats in the next edition.

Comparison broker domain coverage, specifically comparebroker.info, tradebrains.in, and brokersdb.com, is now a confirmed citation lever in this category, and any brand not prominently featured on those publishers faces systematic dilution when new ones enter.

INDmoney's ChatGPT-led gain (42.6% on ChatGPT vs 21.3% on AI Mode) is the sharpest per-engine divergence in a positive direction and suggests ChatGPT's citation behavior for investing apps is drawing from a different source set than Gemini and AI Mode; indmoney.com appearing as a top ChatGPT source with 15 citations supports this.
