A free tool from Google that tracks search interest over time and across regions. You can compare up to five groups of terms, monitor “Trending now” in near real time, and export charts to CSV or embed them on the web. A limited alpha API is available by application, and a separate BigQuery dataset exposes the top rising queries over the past 30 days.
Key features
- Explore search interest over time with geographic and category filters; compare up to five groups of terms (25 terms per group).
- Discover related topics and rising queries to spot shifts in attention.
- Filter by region, timeframe, category, and Google property (Web, News, Images, Shopping, YouTube).
- Export charts to CSV, share links, or embed selected charts via HTML.
- “Trending now” dashboard shows news-linked spikes across 100+ countries, refreshed every 10 minutes, with multiple time windows and CSV/RSS export.
- Methodology based on anonymized, aggregated samples normalized to a 0–100 scale. Longer ranges use UTC time, short ranges use local time zones.

Starred Tools
These are my top picks. Tools I've tested thoroughly and found to be excellent. They do their job really well, and I use them a lot. If you're not already familiar with them, I highly recommend checking them out.
Tested Tools
These are tools I've tried and found to be solid, but not standout. Think of them as passing an initial quality screen: worth exploring, though not all will be exceptional.
Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
