The report card
Best for consumer trend forecasts for beauty and food brands
Spate is a trend forecasting platform for beauty, wellness and food and beverage brands: it reads Google searches, TikTok, Instagram and Reddit to show which ingredients, products and brands are rising, and predicts where a trend is heading. But it's market research, not an SEO keyword tool, it covers just those three areas, and no price is published, with even the trial arranged on a demo call.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, and the site's pricing link leads back to the home page, so the price is only given on a sales call after a demo. That leaves nothing to weigh against its trend-tool rivals. |
| Free plan and trial | D | No free plan. The home page mentions a free trial, but it's arranged by booking a demo, and its length isn't stated. |
| Features | C | Trend forecasts it puts at 72% accurate, the ingredients and concerns behind a trend, brand benchmarking, top TikTok and Instagram posts, gaps in a market, an AI assistant and alerts. It does trend research fully, but only for beauty, wellness and food and beverage. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You get in through a demo, and then there are forecasts, benchmarks, alerts and reports to learn your way round. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations on record. The API is for Enterprise customers only. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Spate is for
- Fits if you plan products for a beauty, wellness or food and beverage brand
- Works for an R&D or marketing team that wants to know which ingredients are rising
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want keywords for your website, as it's a consumer trend tool, not an SEO keyword tool
- Not for you if your market isn't beauty, wellness or food and beverage, as that's what its coverage is built around
- Watch out: no prices are published, and the site's pricing link goes back to the home page
- Tight if you want to try it on your own, as the free trial is arranged through a demo and its length isn't stated
- Watch out: the 72% prediction accuracy is Spate's own figure, and the API is for Enterprise customers only
Good to know
Good for
- Beauty, wellness and food and beverage brands planning new products
- Marketing, R&D and PR teams tracking which ingredients and topics are rising
- Ingredient suppliers spotting demand before it peaks
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; access is sold after a demo, and the site's pricing link leads back to the homepage.
- Its coverage is built around beauty and personal care, wellness, and food and beverage.
- It is a market research tool for consumer trends, not an SEO keyword tool for a website.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Spate's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No price is published, and the site's pricing link leads back to the home page, so the price is only given on a sales call after a demo.
We could not confirm Spate’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. spate.nyc has them.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Spate you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 48 of the 51 other keyword research tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Spate’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
