Inside 441 AI products

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

163 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 6.5K buyers a month, a small, real business.

Led by opencode.ai · 13M checkout visits in six months

opencode.aiemergent.shkiro.dev

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

New money

22 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.

216 of 429 shrank
Over the same six months, 171 grew by a fifth or more. Getting paid once is not the same as staying paid.
71% use Stripe, vs 16% 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.

The breakout

19.3K to 2.8M 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.

Take it out and AI checkout traffic still grew +14% — so the market is moving, but one winner took a large share of the new money. That is the game.

If you’re about to build

Four things the checkout data says out loud.

0119 × 1M+

The pots are big.

19 AI products each sent more than a million people to Stripe’s checkout in six months. 309 sites passed 100K.

02APIs · 3D

The fast risers are the picks and shovels.

Model APIs grew +61% and 3D generation +150% in checkout traffic — from smaller bases than video.

03Hard mode

Crowned categories are flat.

Voice, music and audio sends 18M visits and grew +6%. The leaders are set; look for the angle they ignore.

0424% unranked

You don’t need a famous brand.

24% of Stripe Checkout’s traffic comes from sites with no global rank at all: new products, subdomains, apps nobody has indexed yet.

Observations from traffic data, not investment or business advice.

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.

Monthly visits (Sep) and growth since April
  • Stripe Checkout+12%

  • Stripe Payment Links+6%

  • Lemon Squeezy+1%

PayPal moves 124M a month but mostly from marketplaces like eBay and Etsy — a different market, covered in the case study.

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 sorted what was left into AI niches by hand.
