AI coding tool routes: website tracking interest and checkout intent

Headline findings

• Codex had the largest route cohort: 1,225 visitors to /codex in the window.
• Cursor had the highest descriptive checkout-intent ratio, 16.7% — but its cohort was only 72 visitors, far smaller than the largest cohorts. A ratio computed on a small cohort is not comparable in precision to one computed on a cohort in the hundreds or thousands.
• Neither finding is a market-share, popularity, or conversion-causation ranking. Both are descriptive statements about this website's own visitor base in this window only.

The data

Each row is one tool-specific commercial route on sessionwatcher.com. "Route visitors" is the count of distinct DataFast-tracked visitors who visited that exact path during the window. "Checkout-intent visitors" is the subset of those visitors who also completed the sitewide checkout_clicked goal at any point during the same window. "Descriptive ratio" is checkout-intent visitors divided by route visitors — plain division of the counts, not a statistical estimate.

Cohorts overlap: a visitor can appear in more than one route row. Do not sum the six routeVisitors or the six checkoutIntentVisitors counts and present them as a unique-visitor total.

Why only these six routes

SessionWatcher currently supports more providers than are studied here. These six routes are the exact tool-specific commercial routes that existed throughout the entire frozen analysis window on sessionwatcher.com. The remaining supported providers (Antigravity, Devin, Grok, OpenRouter, Z.ai, Kimi / Kimi Code workflows, Qwen) are not rows in this study: These registry providers did not have an equivalent tool-specific commercial route that existed throughout the entire frozen common analysis window (2026-05-25..2026-07-31) on sessionwatcher.com, so including them would compare unequal windows as if they were equal — false precision.

Methodology

For each route, two authenticated DataFast CLI queries were run against website id 699eb8beb26e6654a29d2b1f (timezone Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh), restricted to the complete fixed window 2026-05-25 through 2026-07-31 inclusive:

1. A route-cohort query, filtered to visitors of the exact route path, read as "route visitors."
2. The same query with an added completed-goal filter for checkout_clicked, read as "checkout-intent visitors."

Limitations

• Aggregate first-party website analytics only — not app telemetry, not in-app usage.
• Describes SessionWatcher's own visitor base in this window, not the wider market.
• Cohorts overlap; the six rows must never be summed into a unique-visitor total.
• checkout_clicked is a sitewide intent goal, not a completed purchase, and not causally attributed to the route visit.
• Ratios are plain division with no statistical test, confidence interval, or claim of representativeness beyond this website's visitors in this window.
• Small cohorts (e.g. Copilot's 48, Gemini's 54, Cursor's and opencode's 72) produce ratios that move a lot per additional visitor; they are reported as-is, not smoothed or modeled.

Reproducibility

Every row can be independently reproduced with an authenticated DataFast CLI session. Example for /claude:

datafast --json visitors list --website 699eb8beb26e6654a29d2b1f --from 2026-05-25 --to 2026-07-31 --visited-page /claude --limit 1

datafast --json visitors list --website 699eb8beb26e6654a29d2b1f --from 2026-05-25 --to 2026-07-31 --visited-page /claude --limit 1 --completed-goal checkout_clicked

Substitute the route path for any of the other five routes to reproduce that row. In both cases, the number reported is pagination.total from the JSON response.

Source and verification

Sole source for all six rows: DataFast (authenticated CLI), website id 699eb8beb26e6654a29d2b1f, verified 2026-08-17. Provider identity and display labels are read from SessionWatcher's canonical release registry (app v6.5.50), verified 2026-08-11 — see the full supported-provider map.
