Pull App Store Top Free and Google Trends in one Trends MCP account, then join iOS free-chart titles against live search queries, google search indexes, and Android download volume.
Live data as of 2026-08-26
An App Store Top Free vs Google Trends comparison on Trends MCP is two get_top_trends calls: type App Store Top Free and type Google Trends. From the August 26, 2026 pull, both boards stamped 2026-08-26T18:01:38 UTC. App Store Top Free returned 50 titles at offset 0 and 50 at offset 50, then count 0 at offset 100, for a closed board of 100. Google Trends returned 50 rows at offsets 0, 50, 100, and 150, filling ranks 1 through 200, then count 0 at offset 200. App Store rank 1 was ChatGPT. Google Trends rank 1 was dolly parton. Zero exact titles overlapped in 100 versus 200. google search for ChatGPT sat at 80.0 on 2026-08-22. Free tier access is 100 requests per month.
From the Trends MCP scan of August 26, 2026, App Store Top Free and Google Trends both stamped 2026-08-26T18:01:38 UTC, App Store Top Free closed at 100 rows, and Google Trends filled 200, so a default limit 25 join misses every Google query after 25 and every free app after the first page.

App Store ranks 11 through 20 included Google Gemini at 11, ParentSquare at 12, Google at 13, PineDrama at 14, Capital One Mobile at 15, WhatsApp Messenger at 16, CapCut at 17, X at 18, Temu at 19, and Microsoft Teams at 20. Google Trends ranks 11 through 20 included insidious 6 at 11, xrp price at 13, and meghan markle prince harry uk move at 16. ChatGPT also sat at Google Play rank 11 and Wikipedia Trending rank 22 on the same stamp, with Wikipedia rank 1 matching Google Trends rank 1 as Dolly Parton. App Store sort rank_change window 1d on this stamp returned count 47 against baseline 2026-08-26T00:01:34 UTC, a different clock than the 02:01 cluster used by Google Trends and Wikipedia. The top App Store climber was Capital One Shopping: Save Now at rank 46, prev_rank 81, rank_change 35. ChatGPT at rank 1 was not on that climber list.
Two get_top_trends calls against the same Trends MCP key return App Store Top Free and Google Trends as separate ranked lists, and REST mode get_top_trends bills each type and each page as its own request, so paginating App Store Top Free to offset 100 plus Google Trends through offset 200 is six requests before any get_growth follow-up.
{"mode": "get_top_trends", "type": "App Store Top Free", "limit": 50, "offset": 0}
{"mode": "get_top_trends", "type": "Google Trends", "limit": 50, "offset": 0}
MCP clients send the same fields on get_top_trends. App Store Top Free on this stamp filled 50, then 50, then 0. Google Trends filled 50 four times, then 0 at offset 200. The App Store Top Free API page still describes a 25-row scan from August 3, 2026. This pull closed at 100. The Google Trends Trending Now API page documents the 200-row fill. Offset and limit behavior for both feeds is on get_top_trends pagination.
A Google Play call is a separate request. On this stamp WhatsApp Messenger led Google Play at rank 1 while ChatGPT sat at 11. App Store Top Free is an iOS free-chart board. Google Play is a different store list. Do not treat rank 1 on one as rank 1 on the other.
Exact title matching on App Store Top Free 100 versus Google Trends 200 returned zero shared strings, and the only durable join was Google Docs at App Store rank 67 versus google docs at Google Trends rank 28, so a production join needs an alias table rather than lowercase equality.

Google Trends rank 1 dolly parton had no App Store counterpart in 100. App Store rank 1 ChatGPT had no Google Trends counterpart in 200. NBA 2K HQ at App Store rank 2 also missed the 200, even though google search for NBA 2K sat at 100.0. Dunkin' at App Store rank 43 sat near free dunkin coffee promo code today at Google rank 175, another token collision rather than an exact title.
get_growth on google search, youtube, wikipedia, and app downloads turns a live rank into a dated 0-100 index, and those indexes on this stamp did not move with App Store rank: ChatGPT held App Store 1 at google search 80.0, while Vinted at App Store 3 sat at 100.0.

ChatGPT 3M google search sat at 80.0 versus 82.0 on 2026-05-23, a 2.44% drop. ChatGPT Android 3M volume sat at 7,293,948 versus 34,826,884 on 2026-05-28, a 79.06% drop. google docs 3M google search sat at 51.0 versus 88.0, a 42.05% drop.

Threads google search carried estimated volume 3,640,000. com.google.android.apps.bard on app downloads returned no_data, so Gemini Android volume is omitted. ChatGPT 30D app downloads and dolly parton 30D google search both had baseline_value 0.0; the API can emit a 999999.0 percent on that shape, so the page quotes the two indexes instead.
App Store rows are iOS free-chart display names with no download counts, and Google Trends rows are search queries with no app identity, so the join is a string match across two different objects, and this stamp shows why a limit 25 client never sees that mismatch.
App Store Top Free closed at 100. Google Trends closed at 200. Exact overlap was 0. The Google Docs join sits at App Store 67, outside a default 25-row page, and at Google Trends 28, also outside that default. ChatGPT at App Store 1 is inside 25 and still absent from Google Trends 200. AI titles clustered on the free chart: ChatGPT at 1, Claude by Anthropic at 9, Google Gemini at 11, Meta AI at 47, Grok AI at 48. None of those five strings appeared in Google Trends 200.
