Trendlytic vs static trend lists
| static trend lists | Trendlytic | |
|---|---|---|
| Freshness | A snapshot months out of date by the time it's published | Badged on each search from the design's own listing date and rank |
| Evidence | Search volume or someone's guess | A recent listing already ranked above the seller's older designs |
| Coverage | Usually one platform, one angle | Amazon Merch, Etsy, Redbubble and TeePublic at once |
| What you do with it | Read a list and hope it's still open | Read the Rising badges, then one-click a listing for your own design |
Trends lists tell you what already happened. Rising tells you what's happening now.

What you get
The problem with 'trending designs' lists is that they're a snapshot of the past. By the time a niche is written up, thousands of sellers have uploaded the same idea and the door is closing. The only trend worth chasing is one that's still early: proven enough that it's already selling, but fresh enough that the shelves aren't full yet. Trendlytic finds exactly that. In every Discover Niches search, a design listed recently that is already climbing carries a Rising badge beside its date, and the ones moving fastest are marked Rising fast.
From a rising niche to a ready listing
Spot a rising niche, then let the AI Studio act on it: an AI Niche Finder for adjacent ideas, plus slogan, quote, listing and description generators that turn the trend into ready-to-paste copy before it peaks.
Rising = new and already climbing
The badge sits next to the listing date. It means a design that arrived recently is already outranking what the same seller listed before it, which is real demand in a niche that hasn't filled up yet.
Live, not a snapshot
Rising is read from the store as it stands on the day you search, and Trending Now refreshes through the day, so you're always reading the current movement, not a trends list that was already stale when it published.
All four marketplaces at once
Amazon Merch, Etsy, Redbubble and TeePublic in one place — catch a trend rising on one platform while it's still wide open on another.
Backed by real sales
Store-first research only surfaces designs proven to sell. A trend with no buyers behind it is a fad; you never see those dressed up as opportunities.
From trend to listing in one click
Pair any rising design with the AI Listing Generator to get a complete, ready-to-paste listing for an original design of your own in that niche — built to each marketplace's rules, never a copy.
Check the trademark before you design
One pass through the live USPTO check shows whether a registered mark stands on the phrase, before you spend hours on a design that could get your account suspended — the step most trend-chasers skip.
Inside the app
See it working
Rising and Rising fast, on the card
In a Discover Niches search, a TeePublic design from the last 180 days that sits higher on that seller's best-selling page than at least five designs the seller listed earlier is badged Rising. Under 60 days and already ahead of the seller's established work, it reads Rising fast. Redbubble follows the same idea from 30 days on, because Redbubble pins the first 30 days on top by itself.
See what's heating up, updated hourly
Trending Now tracks what's climbing on Amazon Merch, TeePublic, Redbubble and Etsy through the day — so you're reading live movement, not a listicle someone wrote three months ago.
Proven, not guessed
Search any niche and Trendlytic pulls the designs actually selling in real stores — store-first, across four marketplaces. A 'trend' with no sales behind it never makes the cut; you only see demand that's real.
Turn a rising trend into your own listing
Found a fresh winner? One click writes you a full listing — design prompt, title, description and per-marketplace keywords — for a new, original design in that same rising niche. The demand and keywords come from the winner. The artwork never does.
Etsy reads interest, not sales
Etsy shows favourites rather than sales, so its Rising badge goes to the fastest-favourited third of the niche among listings under 180 days old. Rising fast is the fastest tenth, listed within 40 days with 10 or more favourites. Favourites measure interest, which is why the card says favourites and never sales.
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
Search a niche in Discover Niches
Type any niche. Trendlytic pulls the designs genuinely selling on all four marketplaces, starting from the stores, in about 40 seconds.
- 2
Look for the Rising badges
Every result carries its listing date, and the badge colour beside it tells you the pace: amber for Rising, orange for Rising fast, on TeePublic, Redbubble and Etsy. Amazon rows use the New & selling status instead, for designs with their first confirmed sales.
- 3
Study the angle, then make it yours
See the title, tags and what's working, then generate a listing for a new, original design in that same rising niche.
- 4
Ship it — and check the trademark first
Run the phrase through the live USPTO check, read what is registered on it, then upload.
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 download takes 1 credit from the plan you already have.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a design 'Rising'?
On TeePublic, a design is Rising when it was listed within the last 180 days and ranks, on its seller's own best-selling page, above at least five designs that seller listed before it. Redbubble uses the same rule for designs between 30 and 180 days old, because Redbubble pins the first 30 days on top by itself. On Etsy, a listing under 180 days old that sits in the third of the niche gaining favourites fastest is Rising; favourites are interest, not sales. Rising fast is the stricter version of each: under 60 days on TeePublic, 30 to 40 days on Redbubble, the fastest tenth on Etsy. Amazon shows no badge; there, New & selling marks designs with 1 to 19 reviews, each one a confirmed sale.
How is this different from a 'trending designs 2026' list?
A published list is a snapshot of what was working months earlier — by the time you read it, the niche is crowded. Trendlytic reads live store data and flags trends the moment they're rising, refreshed through the day, across four marketplaces.
Which marketplaces does it cover?
Amazon Merch on Demand, Etsy, Redbubble and TeePublic — all in one place, so you can catch a trend rising on one platform while it's still open on another.
Do I have to search, or is it ready to browse?
Both. Best Design Instant is a ready daily feed of winning designs you can browse without searching, and every Discover Niches search badges its Rising and Rising fast designs card by card, so you also see what's fresh in any specific niche.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $9/month and open with a 3-day free trial. That includes searches on all four marketplaces, Rising badges included, plus the trending feed, Best Design Instant, and the AI Listing Generator.
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.

Anyone can find yesterday's bestsellers. The sellers who win are the ones who spot a proven design while it's still fresh, and move first. Trendlytic badges those Rising designs in every search on TeePublic, Redbubble and Etsy, and counts Amazon's new sellers in the niche verdict.
