Considered Both Products
Google Trends
Chose Google Trends
Overall I think that Ahrefs is a better product when it comes to really drilling down and getting all the data that you need in order to understand a given behavior or problem. Ahrefs is much more powerful in its feature set but does not have the same level of overall …
Chose Google Trends
They are both great tools. I prefer Google Trends because of the location capabilities and being able to go hyper-local. It does not however provide the details on cost and competition like SEM Rush does.
Chose Google Trends
Google Trends is probably the easier of the many other Google platforms to identify keywords. I haven't used other keyword platforms because I don't trust them—I rather use a tool directly from Google to evaluate popular keywords. That being said, Google Trends is very limited …
Chose Google Trends
I like using Google Trends because it gives you a clear visual of seasonal trends and compares multiple queries at once. However, I do prefer using other systems like SEMRush and Ahrefs because they are more detailed in the information they give you regarding your website and …
Chose Google Trends
It's not really an either/or thing — I use the complete "Google Marketing Stack" including Analytics, Trends, Keyword Planner, Search Console, etc. It's also essential to integrate some of their data, like making sure Google Search Console and Google Analytics are connected — …
Chose Google Trends
Google Trends provides insights that are only available through Google, however, it does not include other important trends such as those on social media or via their competitors.
Chose Google Trends
Google Trends is great used alongside a tool like MozPro. It complements the quantitive data found in the Moz Keyword Research Tool.
Chose Google Trends
I've used SEMrush, while more of a SEO Manager than keyword trend analyzer, it does have that option as it does relate to SEO management, but between the two, its nice to have the option in SEMrush, but Google Trends is better at doing the trend analyzing than SEMrush is.
Chose Google Trends
One of the most obvious reasons why I chose Google trends over other keyword research platforms is because it's free. At the same time, it also has the most relevant and easy-to-use features out of the bunch. Google Trends does not have as many features as SEMRush or BuzzSumo, …
Chose Google Trends
We used multiple platforms. Google Trends is just one of them! It's important to have multiple tools to check and reference back and forth. Google Trends is totally free for everybody so why not give it a try.
Chose Google Trends
I haven’t used any tools quite like Google Trends.
Chose Google Trends
Other Google products I have used would be Adwords. I would use this along with that program since they do entirely different things.
Chose Google Trends
Google Trends tends to be slightly more accurate than the other products, because Google has access to more user data for the algorithm to take into consideration when providing trends and information. We like this tool because it also aligns better with the Google tools we use …
Chose Google Trends
We use Google Search Console and Moz mostly for our website improvement, and Google Trends we use mostly to look for trends: what people are searching for now. Google Trends is free and has very clean, simple and understandable user interface, it gives lots of usable data for …
Chose Google Trends
We haven't tried anything apart from Google Trends.
Chose Google Trends
Google AdSense is much more detailed, but requires the user to be logged in and have an active Google Adsense account, sometimes it's quicker to just use Google trends.
Chose Google Trends
Google Trends has the biggest source of data and is the most accurate. It cannot be used without any other tool because of its own limits (keyword suggestion, semantical analysis, etc.).
Chose Google Trends
Google Trends is sometimes a helpful supplement to other analytics and advertising tools, but it is not very useful as a standalone analysis tool. We have seen much more benefit from the intelligence and audience information built in to our other core tools. Better predictive …
Chose Google Trends
Google Trends and Open Web Analytics are both similar and different. While both products allow a user to track the popularity of a given webpage or search term, Google Trends is more effective in providing content and suggesting trends. Furthermore, I liked the ability to use …
Chose Google Trends
Google Trends is a great place to start in the content curation, content research, blog post writing, and resource page creation process. It is not, however, a place to do serious SEO optimization. Tools like Moz, or Analytics SEO would be a better place to go after you do …
Chose Google Trends
They're different tools and thus have overlap, but still do quite different jobs. So there really is no exact comparison, in free to use tools, to Google Trends out there. If it could generate periodic reports it would be even better.

Other tools can be quite complimentary to …
Ubersuggest
Chose Ubersuggest
Moz and Google Search Console need to be used along with Ubersuggest for best results. Hence, I still use them. I have tried Semrush but it is slightly pricey for small businesses hence I considered Ubersuggest instead.
Chose Ubersuggest
Very good and easy for those starting out. There are other more robust and better featured products, but they are more expensive. The others also have phone support options, which I have found very useful in the past.

For larger companies I would probably look at someting else, …
Chose Ubersuggest
We use each SEO research platform for different purposes. I believe they complement each other. Ubersuggest strengths, according to my experience, are related to content ideas, comprehensive keyword research to determine competitors' backlinks, and difficulty in achieving the …
Chose Ubersuggest
UberSuggest is an excellent starter SEO tool. Though it is not as powerful as Semrush and other expensive SEO tools, it really does everything a small business or agency needs. We have been using it for 3 years and have had no complaints. It is extremely easy to use, super …
Chose Ubersuggest
Thought it would be easier and wanted to support Neil. Waste of time and money and would never work with his company or his tools ever again.
Chose Ubersuggest
Ubersuggest is much easier to use, not overly complex and much more affordable. You can get results in less than 10 minutes without much work, whereas with competitors you need to really study how to use them first.
Chose Ubersuggest
It's on the cheaper side, so for starters on a budget, you can use the free version or the cheaper paid one. Other tools offer way more functions but can also be overwhelming that way. Ubersuggest is going with the times. If you are a beginner or small company, use Ubersuggest. …

Google Trends is appropriate in so many scenarios, but I definitely suggest it for content ideas and inspiration. Many people utilize it after already writing their content to add in popular phrases or words, but that is not enough. The platform should be used prior and during the content creation process so that you can use the data to see what your audience/customers are interested in at the moment and create the content based on their interests. It can help, but I find it much less appropriate to use it after your article, eBook, etc. is already written. Maximize on this useful tool by ensuring the topic you're writing about is relevant in the first place before simply adding in popular keywords. An article that's written based on what's trending will be far more successful than an article that solely has popular phrases added to it.

Ubersuggest is well suited for people who needs to conduct a basic keyword research to rank content in google. Whoever, the tool can be limited for people with more expertise and SEO knowledge. Nevertheless, having more free tools than other similar platforms, I recommend it to those who are starting in SEO.

Cons
  • Top charts: would be nice to include top charts for the current month.
  • Explainers: would be good to have some information buttons next to graphics and charts to show in depth what criteria go into making those charts.
  • More images: would be interesting to see trending image searches.

Usability
Google Trends is very easy to use. you just search for a certain keyword or phrase, and it tells you how often that keyword or phrase is searched, where in the world it is searched, and over the last decade, how often it is per year.

Ubersuggest is relatively easy to navigate, even for beginners. The layout is simple and intuitive, which makes it accessible for users with little to no SEO experience. It doesn’t have the overwhelming complexity of tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush. Users can start using the tool right away without needing extensive onboarding. You can quickly enter a domain, run a site audit, or perform keyword research without having to dig through tutorials or guides.

Support Rating
I haven't needed to use any support for Google Trends. However, I've used Google's support in general and it's a hit or miss. Usually, there's a long wait or they don't understand my problem. They are the only ones that can help, so sometimes I feel stuck. They prioritize paying customers for sure.

They have a lot of information on their website, and also training and contact options in the tool. So you can learn on the go while trying the tool. And if you are stuck, support reacts really fast--sometimes the same day, sometimes the next day due to time zones. Payment is easy and easy to cancel.
