Pull App Store Top Paid and Google Trends in one Trends MCP account, then join iOS paid-chart titles against live search queries and google search indexes.
Live data as of 2026-08-27
An App Store Top Paid vs Google Trends comparison on Trends MCP is two get_top_trends calls: type App Store Top Paid and type Google Trends. From the August 27, 2026 pull, both boards stamped 2026-08-27T02:01:32 UTC. App Store Top Paid 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. Paid-chart rank 1 was Shadowrocket. Google Trends rank 1 was dolly parton. Zero exact titles overlapped in 100 versus 200. google search for Shadowrocket sat at 52.0 on 2026-08-22. Free tier access is 100 requests per month.
From the Trends MCP scan of August 27, 2026, App Store Top Paid and Google Trends both stamped 2026-08-27T02:01:32 UTC, the paid chart closed at 100 rows, and Google Trends filled 200, so a default limit 25 join misses every Google query after 25 and every paid app after the first page.

Paid ranks 11 through 20 included Wildwood: Follow the Crows at 11, PeakFinder at 12, Solocator - GPS Field Camera at 13, Foundations Memory Work C3 at 14, Streaks at 15, Prepware Aviation Maintenance at 16, AutoSleep: Watch Sleep Tracker at 17, Wipr 2 at 18, SkyView at 19, and Goblin Tools at 20. Google Trends ranks 11 through 20 included nvidia stock at 13, insidious 6 at 14, and google docs later at 31. Wikipedia Trending rank 1 matched Google Trends rank 1 as Dolly Parton. App Store Top Free on the same stamp listed ChatGPT at rank 1. Google Play listed WhatsApp Messenger at rank 1 and ChatGPT at 11. None of those free-chart or Play leaders appeared in the paid 100.
App Store Top Paid sort rank_change window 1d on this stamp returned count 36 against baseline 2026-08-26T00:01:34 UTC, a different clock than the 02:01 cluster used by Google Trends and Wikipedia. The top paid climber was My Earthquake Alerts Pro at rank 66, prev_rank 95, rank_change 29. Shadowrocket at rank 1 was not on that climber list. Same-stamp Google Trends 1d returned count 10 against baseline 2026-08-26T02:01:36 UTC, led by jelly roll at rank 33, prev_rank 135, rank_change 102.
Two get_top_trends calls against the same Trends MCP key return App Store Top Paid 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 Paid 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 Paid", "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 Paid on this stamp filled 50, then 50, then 0. Google Trends filled 50 four times, then 0 at offset 200. The App Store Top Paid API page still describes a 25-row scan from August 8, 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 Top Free call is a separate request. On this stamp ChatGPT led App Store Top Free while Shadowrocket led Top Paid. The two iOS charts do not share rank 1. For the free-chart sibling join, see App Store Top Free vs Google Trends.
Exact title matching on App Store Top Paid 100 versus Google Trends 200 returned zero shared strings, and the paid chart is a utilities-and-tools mix that does not collide with celebrity and recall queries, so a production join needs an alias table rather than lowercase equality.

Google Trends rank 1 dolly parton had no paid-chart counterpart in 100. Paid rank 1 Shadowrocket had no Google Trends counterpart in 200. google docs sat at Google rank 31 with no paid iOS app in 100. Apple-adjacent Google rows such as mac mini at 179 and iphone 18 pro max release date at 53 also missed the paid board. First-token matching is unsafe: Earthquake Network at paid rank 36 is not peru earthquake at Google 123.
get_growth on google search and youtube turns a live rank into a dated 0-100 index, and those indexes on this stamp did not move with paid-chart rank: Shadowrocket held paid 1 at google search 52.0, while Anki at paid 3 sat at 59.0.

RadarScope sat at paid rank 10 and was a 1d climber (+21 from prev_rank 31) while google search sat at 22.0, down 24.14% over 7 days from 29.0 and down 59.26% over 3 months from 54.0. Rank climb and search index can move in opposite directions. ChatGPT Android 30D baseline_value 0.0 returned growth 999999.0; quote 7,293,948 versus 0.0, not that percent. dolly parton 30D and 3M also used baseline 0.0. Omit those dummy percents. Many Top Paid titles are iOS-first and have no Android bundle ID for source app downloads, so google search or youtube on the brand is the follow-up that actually returns.
