Free Google Trends Alternative
Track keyword interest over time — with the verdict and the arithmetic that Google Trends leaves out.
Google Trends shows you a line and leaves the judgement to you. This free alternative reads the same data and answers the actual question: 7-day and 30-day velocity, direction, and a deterministic publish / track / hold / skip verdict — with the per-signal breakdown showing exactly how each score was reached, and saying so plainly when a signal cannot be measured.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Google Trends?
Google Trends gives you relative interest and stops there. LeanForge runs on that same data and adds velocity over two windows, a composite trend score with its per-signal breakdown, a deterministic content verdict, and a clean JSON API. It does not add search volume or difficulty estimates — Google Trends data cannot support either, and we would rather show our arithmetic than invent a number.
Can I see the trend history for a keyword?
Yes — open any keyword to see a chart of its last 30 daily interest readings alongside its metrics.
