## Good for

- Pinterest marketers timing seasonal content and Pins
- Shops checking which product categories are growing on Pinterest
- Advertisers planning Pinterest campaigns around search demand

## Worth knowing

- Covers Pinterest activity only, and charts show relative interest from 0 to 100 rather than search counts.
- History goes back about two years, and some features are in testing and available only in certain regions.
- Audience trends need a business account with a large enough audience, and new business accounts are created on a desktop computer.
- There is no in-app view: Pinterest says to open Trends in a desktop or mobile browser.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 3.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Pinterest Trends is Pinterest's free tool for seeing how searches and saves for a keyword moved over up to two years, by region, with demographics and some predictions. It shows a 0 to 100 index, not search counts, and covers Pinterest only. History stops at about two years, some features are in testing in certain regions, and there's no view inside the Pinterest app.

- **Value for money: A.** Free with a Pinterest business account, which costs nothing to set up. Keyword charts, comparisons, shopping trends and Moments are all included.
- **Free plan and trial: A.** Nothing to pay and no cap on record. You need a free business account, and the trends for your own followers only appear once your following is large enough.
- **Features: C.** Keyword charts, up to four keywords side by side, shopping trends, seasonal Moments and predictions. It does Pinterest trends fully, but it's Pinterest only, with about two years of history and some features still in testing in certain regions.
- **Ease of use: B.** No rating on record. If you already have a Pinterest business account, it's right there under Analyze performance. A new business account has to be set up on a desktop computer.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, in a desktop or mobile browser, as there's no view in the Pinterest app. It ties in with Pinterest Ads and nothing else.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** Pinterest Trends is free, so making your own would save you nothing. And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 48 of the 51 other keyword research tools we grade.

- You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- You could not: A library of papers and sources to search.
