New: free GAtrends Spike Check on Apify, check any keyword in 10 seconds
Quick update after launch day. Thank you all for the support and feedback!
Several of you asked how GAtrends decides that something is “spiking”, so we put the core idea into a free tool on Apify: GAtrends Spike Check.
You enter keywords, and it compares the last 24 hours with the usual daily level in Google News, Hacker News and Wikipedia. It tells you if each keyword is normal, rising or spiking. No API keys, no card, one run takes about 10 seconds.
Try the ready example (GTA 6, OpenAI, Steam Deck), or edit the keywords to your own:

It is a one-time check. If you want it watched around the clock across 7 sources with alerts in Telegram, Claude or ChatGPT, that is what GAtrends does (the Free plan has 3 keywords, no card): https://gatrends.com

would be useful to you? We are collecting ideas for the next update.

Show the raw counts next to the spike label. A jump from 1 mention to 5 calls for a different reaction than a jump from 100 to 500, even though both are 5×.
