eRank is a solid Etsy keyword tool. But most print-on-demand sellers aren't only on Etsy, and search volume alone doesn't tell you whether anything is actually selling. Trendlytic is store-first and cross-marketplace: one search shows the designs genuinely selling across all four POD marketplaces, scores demand vs competition, and checks the phrase against the USPTO trademark database before you commit.
Cross-marketplace research
One search covers Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch — not just Etsy — so your research matches where you actually sell.
Store-first, not just volume
See the designs genuinely selling in a niche with real demand signals, instead of a keyword that's searched but never bought.
Built-in trademark check
A live USPTO check on every keyword — the single biggest cause of suspended POD accounts, caught before you design.
Starts at $5/month
A free trial with no card, then plans from $5/month for 100 searches across all four marketplaces, trademark check included.
Research that ends in something you can upload
The gap in every keyword tool is the same: it hands you a number and leaves you staring at a blank canvas. Here the last step is a listing generated from the niche you just validated, with a new slogan, a prompt for your own artwork, and marketplace-specific keyword sets. It is the step that turns a research session into a product.
Four marketplaces, not just Etsy
eRank centers on Etsy. Trendlytic scans Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch in a single search, so you can spot a niche winning on one platform that's still wide open on another.
See what's actually selling, not just searched
Keyword volume tells you a phrase is popular; it doesn't tell you anyone buys. Trendlytic is store-first: it surfaces the designs actually selling, with real demand signals, so you validate the opportunity itself.
Keywords pulled from real best-sellers
Get the multi-word phrases top-selling listings actually use across marketplaces, scored by opportunity so the low-competition ones surface first, then pair it with the free Etsy and Redbubble tag generators to fill your tags fast.
Turn one winner into a whole shop
Found a validated niche? Related Niches surfaces dozens of adjacent, proven angles — so you scale into more winners instead of starting the research over each time.
eRank stops at the data. This doesn't.
eRank is a keyword tool. It tells you what people type, and from there the work is yours. Trendlytic carries the same search to the end. Once a niche is validated against the designs actually selling, one click turns it into a listing for a new design of your own in that niche, with a slogan, an image prompt, a title, a description and keywords written per marketplace.

To be straight with you: Trendlytic isn't a clone of eRank. eRank is purpose-built for Etsy listing SEO and rank tracking, and if that's all you need, it does it well. Trendlytic is for the step before that — deciding what to sell across four marketplaces, store-first, with a trademark check so you don't build on a phrase you can't legally use. Plenty of sellers use both.
Built-in trademark check
Every search runs a live USPTO trademark check
A trademarked phrase is the #1 cause of suspended print-on-demand accounts. Trendlytic flags it before you design — on every keyword, in every plan.

Is Trendlytic a good eRank alternative?
For deciding what to sell across multiple print-on-demand marketplaces, yes. Trendlytic is store-first and covers Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch in one search, with a trademark check on every keyword. If you only need Etsy listing SEO and rank tracking, eRank is purpose-built for that specific job.
Does Trendlytic replace eRank for Etsy SEO?
Not one-for-one. Trendlytic handles niche and keyword research and pairs with a free Etsy tag generator for your tags, but eRank has Etsy-specific listing audits and rank tracking that Trendlytic doesn't. Many sellers use Trendlytic to decide what to sell and eRank to fine-tune individual Etsy listings.
Why would I switch from eRank to Trendlytic?
Two main reasons: you sell on more than Etsy (Redbubble, TeePublic, Amazon Merch), and you want to see what's actually selling plus a trademark check, not just search volume. Trendlytic also starts at $5/month with a free trial.
Does Trendlytic cover Etsy?
Yes. Etsy is one of the four marketplaces Trendlytic searches in a single query, alongside Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch, with Etsy favorite-count demand signals.
Is there a free version?
There's a free trial with no card, plus free no-login tools (Etsy and Redbubble tag generators, POD fee calculators) you can use right now without an account.
How much does Trendlytic cost?
Free trial, no card. Paid plans start at $5/month for 100 searches across all four marketplaces, with the USPTO trademark check included in every plan.
Does eRank generate listings?
No. eRank is keyword and competition research: it tells you what buyers search and how crowded a term is, and the listing is your job from there. That is a legitimate scope, but it means the work restarts every time you close the tab. Trendlytic covers the same research across four marketplaces and then closes the loop, turning a validated niche into a listing for a design of your own with a slogan, an image prompt and per-marketplace keywords.
