Looking for a Google Trends alternative for ecommerce?
Short answer
Google Trends shows relative search interest on Google — useful, free, but it tells you nothing about AI search. AI Trends is a complementary alternative that shows where AI assistants are pointing shoppers: which products get traffic from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot, by niche.
What Google Trends is known for
- Free, broad relative search-interest data across Google.
- A quick gut-check on how a term's search interest is moving.
Where AI Trends is different
- We cover AI search, which Google Trends doesn't touch — the assistants shoppers now research with.
- Product- and niche-level, built for ecommerce decisions, not raw search curves.
- Free to browse; metered only for live searches.
