See the fastest growing web apps this November: the biggest 30‑day climbers by real traffic, why they surged (education, sports, AI), and who fell back.
If you only have a minute: education platforms dominated November’s fastest growing web apps, with several K‑12 tools leaping hundreds of percent in traffic, while sports streaming and gaming also spiked. A handful of big names slipped, especially in esports, utilities, and finance.
Key takeaways
K‑12 education soared: Illuminate Education (#1,966, +339%), (#1,991, +389%), (#1,950, +313%), and (#10,588, +320%) were among the month’s biggest movers.
Consumer spikes clustered around sports and entertainment: Paramount+ (#1,050, +162%) and FanCode (#8,952, +177%) climbed as fall sports peaked; gaming hubs like Maxroll (#7,934, +194%) also surged.
India stood out: CarDekho (#1,908, +256%) and Fanatics (#5,317, +112%) show holiday-season shopping tailwinds alongside regional sports interest.
Security and privacy interest ticked up: DefensX (#5,681, +133%) and BrowserLeaks (#2,310, +120%) grew as users reviewed online safety going into year‑end.
Notable decliners: AI showcase Google Labs (−66%), esports tracker VLR.gg (−66%), utilities like remove.bg (−64%), and major media like Sky Sports (−63%) pulled back after prior peaks.
Three themes dominated: the school year hitting full stride, a packed global sports calendar, and end‑of‑year consumer and security behavior.
Back to school, part two: By November, teachers and districts settle into assessment cycles and data reviews. That’s reflected in the surge of K‑12 platforms like Illuminate Education (#1,966, +339%), DMAC Solutions (#1,991, +389%), Zearn Math (#1,950, +313%), and Typing.com (#1,919, +255%). Student study platforms like Quizlet (#1,187, +169%) also climbed as exam prep ramps.
Sports season intensity: Domestic leagues and international cricket fixtures drove traffic to streaming and score apps. FanCode (#8,952, +177%) and Paramount+ (#1,050, +162%) benefited from live events and highlights.
Entertainment and gaming cycles: Content updates and new seasons in top games often push players toward guides and communities. Maxroll (#7,934, +194%) rose alongside action‑RPG interest; Qureka (#11,464, +410%) tapped quiz‑gaming demand.
Year‑end shopping momentum: Car research and holiday gifting nudged CarDekho (#1,908, +256%), ENEBA (#5,352, +116%), and Fanatics (#5,317, +112%).
Security tune‑ups: With more online spending and travel ahead, users checked their setups. BrowserLeaks (#2,310, +120%) and DefensX (#5,681, +133%) reflected that interest.

Education was the clear winner
Education apps dominated the leaderboard by both magnitude and count among the month’s top climbers in the global top 250,000.
District and assessment infrastructure
Illuminate Education (#1,966, +339%) focuses on assessments and MTSS management for K‑12.
DMAC Solutions (#1,991, +389%) caters to Texas K‑12 with testing, data, and planning tools aligned to state mandates.
Edmentum (#1,921, +281%) provides curricula and assessments to accelerate student growth.
These increases align with mid‑semester testing windows and data meetings when educators log in frequently to analyze progress and plan interventions.
Student learning and curriculum
Zearn Math (#1,950, +313%) provides visual, interactive K‑12 math.
TCI (#10,481, +279%) supports social studies and science with active learning.
Typing.com (#1,919, +255%) teaches touch typing, digital citizenship, and coding basics.
Quizlet (#1,187, +169%) remains a go‑to for flashcards and practice tests.
Instructor workflows
Gradescope (#10,588, +320%) saves grading time across paper and online assessments—exactly when midterms and finals loom.
The pattern: as classrooms shift from setup to sustained instruction, traffic concentrates in assessment, curriculum content, and grading. That’s a strong seasonal signal you’ll see again in late winter and spring.

Paramount+ (#1,050, +162%) climbed on live sports and originals, a reminder that even major streamers ride event‑driven waves.
FanCode (#8,952, +177%) offered live cricket, scores, and highlights—cricket’s calendar often drives sharp regional spikes.
Fanatics (#5,317, +112%) benefited as fans sought officially licensed gear.
Toomics (#5,830, +118%) shows steady demand for comics and webtoons alongside TV/film releases.
Cinema HQ (#5,937, +135%) captured users browsing for mixed entertainment formats in one spot.
The takeaway: when the schedule is packed and the weather turns, people tune in, shop team gear, and hunt for companion content.

Gaming and interactive content
Gaming attention is volatile but predictable around patches, seasons, and launches.
Maxroll (#7,934, +194%) rose on build guides, planners, and news across ARPG communities.

Security, privacy, and developer infrastructure
Year‑end checklists and shipping deadlines put security and developer tools back on the radar.
Security and privacy
DefensX (#5,681, +133%) protects users from phishing and malware with a secure browser approach.
BrowserLeaks (#2,310, +120%) helps users diagnose IP leaks, fingerprinting, and other browser exposures.
Developer platform
Clerk (#3,048, +148%) grew as teams add sign‑in and user management to web projects, a common pre‑holiday sprint.
AI and experiments: Google Labs (−66%) cooled, typical of interest cycles around new experiment releases.
Esports and gaming communities: VLR.gg (−66%), GameBanana (−64%), and Scryfall (−64%) pulled back—esports calendars and set rotations often create sharp troughs.
Utilities and media: remove.bg (−64%) and Sky Sports (−63%) fell after prior spikes tied to event clusters.
Finance and infra: Fidelity (−59%), Starlink (−51%), and MikroTik (−52%) suggest lighter cycles for sign‑ups, trading, and hardware research late in the month.
eMaktab (#2,015, +891%) led the month, reflecting strong demand for tools that automate school processes and keep parents in the loop.
In gaming and entertainment, Qureka (+410%), Maxroll (+194%), and FanCode (+177%) stood out.
Big‑audience platforms also posted large gains: Paramount+ (+162%) and Quizlet (+169%).
Security and developer tools like Clerk (+148%), DefensX (+133%), and BrowserLeaks (+120%) rounded out the infrastructure‑focused momentum.
What founders and marketers can learn
Ride seasonal workflows: Assessment windows and grading cycles correlate with traffic surges for education products. Align launches, content updates, and onboarding with those calendars.
Program for event peaks: Sports rights, esports tournaments, and game patches push predictable waves. Prepare landing pages, guides, and retention loops before the schedule hits.
Localize where the audience is: Regional leaders like CarDekho and FanCode show how localized content can win big in specific markets.
Invest in evergreen utility: Tools that solve daily pains—authentication (Clerk), secure browsing (DefensX), or privacy checks (BrowserLeaks)—grow when teams ship and consumers harden their setups.
Watch for receding tides: If your traffic is tied to a single event or release cadence, build cross‑season content and retention hooks to smooth the valleys.
This monthly report uses Zivvi’s catalog of 2,300 web apps. We rank apps by worldwide traffic using the Tranco list, a research‑focused ranking that averages several traffic sources to reduce noise from any single provider. The ranks shown here are worldwide traffic ranks (Tranco list) as of November 6, 2026. The 30‑day change compares each app’s rank about 30 days earlier with the latest rank.
Apps highlighted as fastest growers are among those in the global top 250,000 by traffic. We do not take paid placements. Pricing labels (for example, “Free plan + paid” or “Paid”) are descriptive only—check each app’s website for current prices.
Mid‑semester assessments, grading, and intervention planning drive heavy logins by teachers and districts. That cycle benefits assessment platforms, grading tools, and curriculum providers. Student study apps also climb as exam prep begins.
Which big names lost traffic this month?
Google Labs (−66%), Sky Sports (−63%), remove.bg (−64%), and Fidelity (−59%) declined after prior peaks. Esports and gaming communities such as VLR.gg (−66%) and GameBanana (−64%) also pulled back, reflecting schedule‑driven cycles.
What trends are boosting sports and entertainment apps?
A dense calendar of domestic leagues and international events pushes more users to live streams, highlights, and official merchandise. That pattern benefited Paramount+, FanCode, and Fanatics in November. Entertainment hubs and comics platforms also see complementary gains.
How is the ranking calculated?
Zivvi uses the Tranco list for worldwide traffic ranks, which averages multiple sources for a more stable view. We compare each app’s latest rank with its position about 30 days prior to calculate the 30‑day change. All ranks here are as of November 6, 2026.
