Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about how TrendArc works and how to read the charts.

How fresh is the data?
TrendArc uses Google Trends data. Exact freshness depends on the timeframe, but for recent views it is typically delayed by a short amount of time rather than being fully real time.
What can I compare?
You can compare almost any two topics that people search for on Google, such as products, people, brands, events or general terms. If a term has very little search volume, the chart may look sparse.
Where does the data come from?
All charts and scores are based on Google Trends interest over time. We normalise the values so each line goes from 0 to 100 within the selected period.
Is it free to use?
Yes. You can run comparisons and explore interest trends for free. We may add premium features later, but the core comparison view will stay free to use.
Why are some results slower to load?
When you open a comparison for the first time we fetch the data from Google Trends and generate summaries. After that, repeat visits to the same comparison should feel much faster.
Can I share a comparison?
Yes. Each comparison has its own clean URL that you can copy and share. Anyone with the link will see the same chart and summaries.
Do I need an account?
No account is required to browse comparisons. If we add saved lists or alerts in future, those might use optional sign in.
How accurate are the trends?
Google Trends is designed for relative interest rather than exact search counts. Use the charts to compare patterns, peaks and direction rather than as precise numbers.
