What that leaves out
An enterprise contract before you start
Trendtracker publishes no prices: plans are annual enterprise subscriptions set on a discovery call, and its buyers are typically Fortune 500 strategy, risk and innovation teams. TrendIntel is free to start, with paid plans from $29 a month.
Few of the places a conversation starts
Trendtracker's named sources are research papers, patents, startup and investment data, news and regulatory filings. It names no developer, hiring or government spending sources, and no social platform. TrendIntel also reads GitHub, Hacker News and package registries, job postings, Reddit, Bluesky and YouTube, prediction markets, and government contracts and grants.
Two ways to read a trend
Trendtracker scores strength and momentum on a 0–10 scale normalised across trends. TrendIntel measures each trend against its own usual week and labels it New, Rising, Steady, Cooling, Returning or Quiet; a change has to hold for a day before the label moves, and every change is dated and kept.
