⬤ Grok hit 314.0 million visits in January while DeepSeek came in at 298.3 million, landing Grok in third place globally behind ChatGPT and Gemini, according to Similarweb data. This is the first time Grok has actually topped DeepSeek in monthly traffic.
⬤ Daily visit tracking throughout January shows Grok stayed pretty steady around 9 to 11 million visits per day. DeepSeek's numbers bounced around a lot more—dropping sharply at times before shooting back up—even though it occasionally hit similar peak numbers as Grok.
⬤ Even when both platforms reached comparable highs on certain days, Grok racked up more total visits thanks to its consistent daily performance. The numbers show that while the two stayed neck-and-neck for most of the month, Grok crossed the finish line ahead.
⬤ This ranking shuffle shows how competitive things are getting among major AI platforms fighting for users worldwide. Winning the monthly traffic race now takes more than just hitting big spikes—you need steady engagement all month long.
