Welcome to this week's Adoption Report. We track AI citation frequency, search volume shifts, and adoption signals across all 204 tools in our directory. Here's what moved this week.
Biggest Movers This Week
| Tool | Score | Citations/wk | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Pro | 9.5 | 1,204 | ↑ 31% |
| Cursor | 9.3 | 847 | ↑ 23% |
| ElevenLabs | 9.4 | 714 | ↑ 18% |
| Sora | 8.5 | 583 | ↓ 12% |
| Midjourney | 9.2 | 962 | → Stable |
Key Takeaways
Claude Pro is surging. Citation frequency jumped 31% week-over-week, driven largely by Anthropic's recent feature releases and growing developer adoption through Claude Code. We're seeing Claude cited more frequently in Perplexity and Gemini outputs than any other writing tool this quarter.
Cursor dominates AI Coding. With a 23% citation increase, Cursor continues to pull away from GitHub Copilot and Claude Code in the coding tools category. The "vibe coding" trend is real, and Cursor is its poster child.
Sora is losing ground. Down 12% in citations. The initial launch hype has worn off, and competitors like Runway ML and Kling AI are capturing attention with faster iteration cycles and better pricing.
