Trendlytic vs Single-platform keyword tools
| Single-platform keyword tools | Trendlytic | |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | One marketplace at a time | Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic & Amazon Merch in a single search |
| Keyword source | Search-volume estimates | The phrases best-selling designs rank on, plus the phrases shoppers type on each marketplace |
| Scoring | A raw volume number | Demand + competition + 12-month trend on each phrase |
| Trademark check | Not included | A USPTO check you run per phrase, all plans |
| Cross-listing | Repeat the work per platform | One research pass feeds all four listings |
| Starting price | Varies | Free trial, then from $19.99/mo |
The honest version: if you only ever sell on one marketplace, a single-platform keyword tool can be enough. Trendlytic earns its place the moment you cross-list, because the same research then covers four marketplaces at once, scores each phrase against what is genuinely selling, and flags trademark risk before you build. That is the slow part of POD keyword research, done in one pass.

Features
What you get
Print-on-demand sellers rarely live on one platform. The same design goes on Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch, and each has its own search box and its own winning phrases. Researching them one tool at a time is slow, and single-platform keyword tools miss where a term is quietly winning somewhere else. Trendlytic runs the keyword research for all four marketplaces in one pass. It pulls the phrases proven best-sellers actually rank on, scores each for demand and competition, shows a 12-month interest curve, and puts the live USPTO register one click from any phrase before you build on it.
AI listings from your keywords
A five-tool AI Studio — niche finder, slogan, quote, listing and description generators — turns your scored keywords into ready listings, each formatted to the four marketplaces' own rules.
All four marketplaces at once
Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch keyword research in one search, so cross-listing sellers stop repeating the same dig four times.
Phrases from real best-sellers
See the multi-word terms proven top designs rank on, a far stronger starting point than a keyword you guessed at.
Scored, not just listed
Demand, competition, and a 12-month interest curve on every phrase, so the winnable ones surface instead of hiding in a long list.
Live USPTO trademark check
A trademark lookup runs the moment you ask for one, in every plan, catching the top cause of pulled listings and suspended accounts before you design.
Free tag generators to finish the job
Once you have the phrases, the free no-login Etsy and Redbubble tag generators turn them into ready-to-paste tags in seconds.
Starts at $19.99 a month
A 3-day free trial, then plans from $19.99/month for 100 searches, which return up to 20,000 keywords with their competition counts, plus the 1,000 top designs in Best Design Instant, re-ranked every hour. Searches cover all four marketplaces, trademark check included.
Inside the app
See it working
Every phrase scored, across every platform
A flat keyword list tells you nothing about whether you can rank. Trendlytic scores each phrase for demand and competition and draws a 12-month interest curve, so you can tell a term that is searched, still winnable, and rising from one that is saturated or fading, on whichever marketplace you are listing.
Four search boxes, one research pass
Instead of repeating the same dig on four sites, one Trendlytic search covers Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch together. A phrase that is crowded on Etsy but open on Redbubble stops being a blind spot and becomes your next listing.
Keywords from proven sellers, not guesses
The strongest keywords are the ones already carrying sales. Trendlytic pulls the multi-word phrases the best-selling designs in a niche rank on, so you start from demonstrated demand instead of terms you hoped buyers might type.
Put the phrase to the register before you commit
A keyword that ranks is worthless if the phrase is trademarked and the listing gets pulled, or worse, the account suspended. Any phrase you pick goes to the live USPTO register, which answers with the marks currently standing on it, so a protected term surfaces before you title and tag a design around it. In every plan.
What shoppers type, beside what sells
A second tab turns the question around. It lists the phrases shoppers type into Amazon US, TeePublic and Redbubble, and the tags on Etsy's best listings, each counted on the marketplace where it was typed. Top marks the ones with few rivals and buyers already there, and AI ideas add phrases the lists missed, checked on Amazon US and Etsy.
Built-in trademark check
Check any phrase against the live USPTO register before you design
Type a phrase and Trendlytic looks it up in the live USPTO register and shows who owns it, its status and its filing date. Included in every plan.
And the designs that were never yours to print are marked
When a result leans on a known brand, a character or a famous person, it arrives with a TM or copyright badge on the card. You see it while you are choosing, not after a takedown. A first filter, not legal advice.
How it works
- 1
Enter a niche or seed phrase
Type any idea. Trendlytic researches keywords on Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch together in one pass.
- 2
Sort by what you can win
Read demand, competition and the 12-month trend on each phrase, run the USPTO lookup on your shortlist, and keep the winnable phrases with nothing live against them.
- 3
Fill your listings on every platform
Take the strongest phrases into your titles and tags, then finish with the free tag generators for each marketplace.
Also in every plan
A mockup generator for the design you make next
When your own design for the niche is ready, drop the file in and see it on 500+ t-shirt photos in one go. Pick the shots that fit your shop, on a person or on its own, and save them at up to 2000 px with no watermark. A mockup takes 1 credit from your plan the first time and nothing after that.

Frequently asked questions
How does the 3-day free trial work?
Every plan starts with 3 days free. Starting it charges $1 to check the card is real, and that $1 is not refunded. The plan price itself is only billed when the trial ends, and cancelling before then from Manage Plan means it is never charged.
I haven't sold anything yet. Is Trendlytic for me?
Yes. A search needs no shop and no sales history: type an idea and you see what already sells for it on Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic and Amazon US, how crowded each one is, and a plain verdict. Start with the marketplace you plan to sell on. If you are not ready for a trial, the free tools at /tools need no account.
What is print on demand keyword research?
It is finding the search phrases buyers use on print-on-demand marketplaces, then choosing which to put in your titles and tags. Trendlytic does it across Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch at once, pulling the phrases best-selling designs actually rank on and scoring each for demand, competition, and 12-month trend. A second tab, Typed by shoppers, adds the phrases shoppers type on Amazon US, TeePublic and Redbubble and the tags of Etsy's best listings, each measured on its own marketplace.
Does it cover more than Etsy?
Yes, that is the point. A single search returns keyword data for Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch together, so if you cross-list the same design you get the keywords for every platform in one pass instead of researching each separately.
How is this different from a search-volume tool?
Volume alone tells you a phrase is popular, not whether you can rank or whether anyone buys. Trendlytic pairs a demand score with a competition score and a 12-month trend, drawn from the phrases proven best-sellers rank on, and adds a live USPTO trademark check that a plain volume tool does not have.
Does it check trademarks?
Yes, for whatever phrase you point it at. One click on a keyword checks it against the USPTO trademark database, in every plan. Trademark trouble is the single biggest cause of pulled listings and suspended POD accounts, so catching it before you design matters.
Is there a free version?
There is a 3-day free trial, plus free no-login tools, the Etsy and Redbubble tag generators, that you can use right now to turn researched phrases into tags without an account.
How much does it cost?
Start with a 3-day free trial. After that, plans begin at $19.99/month for 100 searches, which return up to 20,000 keywords with their competition counts, plus the 1,000 top designs in Best Design Instant, re-ranked every hour. Each search spans all four marketplaces, and the live USPTO trademark check is part of every tier.
