Inside 688 AI products

You don’t need to be famous to get paid.

197 AI products send more than 10K people a month to a checkout page. Only 20 passed a million visits in six months. The typical one sends about 3.1K people a month to pay: a small but real business.

Checkout visits are people sent to pay, not purchases. Treat them as the size of the funnel.

Where to build

14 AI niches, read like a map.

How many products already get paid in each niche, how fast its checkout traffic grew from April to September, and how much the biggest one takes.

Growth compares monthly checkout visits in April and September across all 15 checkouts. Niche labels are ours.

New money

29 AI products came out of nowhere.

Almost no checkout traffic in April, 20K+ people a month by September. Most are small teams, and most aren’t household names.

365 of 688 shrank
Over the same six months, 273 grew by a fifth or more. Getting paid once is not the same as staying paid.
80% use Stripe, vs 24% of everyone else
AI products mostly sell through Stripe Checkout or Payment Links. The rest of the web is spread across PayPal, Razorpay, Mollie and others.

Stripe Checkout alone

On Stripe’s checkout, AI is nearly half the traffic.

Most AI products take payments through Stripe’s hosted checkout. Of everyone it served from April to September, this share came from AI products.

The breakout

17.7K to 2.1M a month. In five months.

higgsfield.ai went from a rounding error to Stripe Checkout’s biggest single source of traffic between April and September. We can’t see why. What we can see is the shape: a creative-AI product turning attention into payments within weeks, not years.

Without it, AI checkout traffic across all 15 checkouts changed by +1% over the same months: one winner took nearly all of the new money. That is the game.

Grew or shrank = checkout visits in Aug–Sep vs Apr–May changed by more than a fifth. The rest held roughly steady.

0163%

Go where more grow than shrink.

In 3D generation, Model APIs & inference and Writing, detection & translation, more products grew than shrank. In Voice, music & audio and Professional & business, more than half shrank: the leaders are taking the market.

0252% vs 21%

Small is not a disadvantage.

AI products under 5K checkout visits a month grew 52% of the time; bigger ones only 21%. Part of that is the small base, but there is clearly room to start.

038 of 29 breakouts

Video still lets newcomers in, with an angle.

8 of the 29 products that came out of nowhere were video or image tools, despite 226 competitors. But 54% of video products shrank: a specific audience or use case beats another general generator.

0478% ≈ 80%

Take payments on day one. The checkout won’t decide it.

Products that grew and products that shrank use Stripe at the same rate (78% vs 80%). Pick one, ship it, and spend the time on the product.

Study the AI listHow we measured this

Six months of modelled traffic is a signal, not a guarantee. Use it to choose where to look, then talk to the people paying.

Picking where to get paid

Stripe is the default. The challengers are growing.

Stripe Checkout sends 43M visits a month, about 61× all five merchant-of-record challengers combined. But the challengers grew +33% in five months, and the newest are moving fastest.

How it was made

Stand outside the bank. Watch where the depositors came from.

1

Pick the doors

Every buyer walks through a checkout page. We chose 15 of them, from Stripe and PayPal to the newest indie providers.

2

Read who sent them

Traffic data records the page each visitor came from. Flip it around and you get a ranked list of sellers, without ever seeing their books.

3

Clean and compare

We merged subdomains, removed search and social, and had language models read each homepage to label the AI products by niche.
