What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isApify Google Trends Scraper — a cloud actor on Apify's platform that automates extraction of structured Google Trends data.
Our takeA solid automation layer on top of Google Trends: runs in the cloud, schedules repeatable keyword-interest pulls, and returns clean JSON or CSV with regional breakdowns and related queries.
Apify's Free plan ($5 platform credit/month, no card required) is permanent, so the pricing is freemium. Billing stacks platform compute units (CUs) plus per-result event fees charged by the actor itself.
Why we rate itEliminates proxy management, rate-limit retries, and scraper maintenance — you configure inputs once and get clean structured data on a schedule, exportable to Google Sheets or any downstream pipeline.
The catchPer-event fees stack on top of platform compute costs, making total spend opaque until you run a test.
No official Google Trends API means the actor can break when Google silently updates its interface — uptime depends on the actor author's maintenance cadence.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: Apify account signup to first trend dataset typically under 10 minutes with no coding required.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-result fees compound at high query volume; large keyword lists across multiple geos require Scale or Business plan to stay within concurrent-run limits (25 on Free, 32 on Starter).
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: data exports to CSV, JSON, and Google Sheets exist, but scheduling, storage, and webhooks all live inside Apify's ecosystem — switching scraper platforms means rebuilding pipelines.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
