How this list is made
Ranked by estimated visits in the month, with at least three months of history. Public companies and products of large technology groups are excluded by a reviewed list.
Visits are estimated monthly website visits across all channels, from third-party traffic panels, rounded to two significant figures. They are estimates, not numbers the companies report.
Growth compares the month with the month before. A company that runs several domains is counted once, with its domains added together, so a move from one domain to another does not show up as growth.
Companies are included when our classifier is confident AI is the product itself, not a feature of a wider platform. Adult and companion apps are left out. A reviewed list corrects wrong names and keeps public companies off the startup lists.
The list is rebuilt once a month, when the month's traffic estimates are in. A fast month can reflect a launch, a press cycle or a single viral post, so treat a place on this list as a reason to look closer, not as proof of revenue.
