So this is a bit like https://explodingtopics.com https://explodingtopics.com but with a different angle to find the categories and trends? I see no "world/global" option, is that on purpose? I do like how the data is presented in the details page. In exploding topics you have to leave the site to see the same on gtrends.

Hello there, Yes, we both find rising trends but we differ in so many ways. First and foremost, we give our users the ability to monitor a keyword/topic over time. As a user, you can receive daily, weekly and monthly email alerts. Secondly, you can search a keyword/topic in any country and what you search stays private to you so that you can build your own private library of trends. Thirdly, each trend has so many related topics that we find by querying Google, Amazon, YouTube, etc that you can dive into. And finally, we have a beta feature where the tool forecasts how a trend will likely perform in the next 6 months.

  Exploding Topics has a one huge advantage. They don't require account to search and test. Maybe leave basic features for everyone to use without account?

    You actually do not require an account to see the trends in the home page. For example, https://treendly.com/trend/dalgona-coffee https://treendly.com/trend/dalgona-coffee is free to look at at. You do require an account to search because I'd like to understand who is searching and protect me a little bit better against bots. Also, searching has a much higher computing cost for me under the hood. Hope it explains why I did it this way. Thanks for the comment!

  Thanks for explaining. So Exploding topics as a Service and with additional features to make it a business. Can be interesting depending on how accurate your trend spotting are and how well the prediction beta feature works. Keeping track of new technology trends and competitors offerings is a healthy amount of work in any business. If a service could already take out the initial search part that could be value.

    I agree 100% that it could be a lot of value. That's what I'm going for =)
