How much does the Google Trends API cost?

Every Google Trends endpoint costs 5 credits per call. Every account starts with 100 free credits, and there is no subscription — you only pay for the calls you make.

Google Trends scraping API vs the official Google Trends API — what's the difference?

With SocialCrawl there is no app review or approval queue — sign up and call Google Trends endpoints immediately with a single x-api-key. Responses share one unified schema with every other SocialCrawl platform, and credit-based pricing replaces per-platform quotas. Official APIs are still the right choice for posting and other write actions: SocialCrawl is read-only data.
