Trend data with a verdict
Know who already owns a market before you enter it.
Every trend gets a verdict and the evidence behind it — including the ones we tell you to kill.
Or read 50 full breakdowns — no account needed. The API needs neither an account nor a key.

Every verdict shows its sources. Multi-source validation is how you already work — we just show our work.
Sick of paying $39 here, $99 there, and a third tool just for TikTok?
One index. One price. Every signal we have — ads, storefronts, search volume, SERP shapes — with the sources attached.
The niche wedge
2,000 searches a month is where the big tools go blind. We live there.
Big trend platforms bucket small niches as "<1K" and move on. That's exactly where buyers with credit cards and no competition are hiding. Our index tracks compact, buyer-intent niches the incumbents structurally cannot see.

Credibility through negatives
The Kill Wall.
Trends we told people to skip, each with the search-page evidence behind the call. We don't claim to know which gate fired — the index keeps what it can see, and we won't invent the rest of the story.

Demand, over twelve months
Most trend tools only show you the way up.
Every tracked keyword carries a year of monthly search volume, its search intent, and how hard it is to rank for. So a trend does not just get a verdict — it gets a direction, and the number behind the direction is the provider's own, not our arithmetic dressed up.
The useful half is the one nobody sells you: demand that is leaving. A falling curve is the cheapest possible reason not to build something. We also refuse to call a seasonal trough a collapse — a holiday query measured in its quiet month reads as −91%, and labelling that a kill would be a wrong answer delivered confidently.
We do not forecast. Direction is measured; prediction would be invented.
Buyer evidence, observed
Proven Offers.
The Kill Wall is what to skip. This is the other half: advertisers who have been paying to keep the same ads running for months. Nobody funds a losing ad for seven months — so while this isn't a verdict, it is the closest thing to buyer evidence we can observe without asking them. Every ad links to its Meta Ad Library entry, so you check it, not us.

Honest pricing, on this page
Free needs an account now. It still doesn't need a card.
Here is what changed and why. The dashboard asks you two questions and keeps the answers, so the board opens filtered to what you actually sell — and something has to hold those answers. The plainer half: with zero paying customers and checkout not live, an anonymous free product gives us nobody to ask what is wrong with it. An email address is the smallest thing we could ask for that fixes that.
Nothing moved behind the wall. No rows were withheld and no feature was reclassified — free is the same free tier with a door on it. And the API still answers with no account and no key, which is what makes that checkable rather than just asserted.

Goblin Pro
$29/mo
First 100 goblins: $19/mo, locked forever. The price is on this page, not behind a sales call — and the board does need a free account, which we would rather say plainly than boast about walls while standing next to one.
- Bulk CSV export — 500 rows a call, every field, no scraping your own dashboard
- Watchlist — track trends across sessions and devices
- 10x the API rate limit (600/min vs 60)

Self-serve checkout isn't live yet. Keys are issued by hand until it is, and we'd rather say that here than take an order we can't fulfil.
Our index went live at launch and accrues daily. We say that on purpose — we'd rather be honestly young than fake deep history we don't have.
