Google emailed users to communicate that it is ending the Google Trends subscriptions for trend alerts, warning that the program will no longer be available beginning on October 29, 2024 and that all existing alerts will end.
Google Trends is popular with many users, especially those who are digital marketers.

Can Still Make A Copy
The email stated that users can still obtain a copy of their data from the Google Trends subscription page before the 29th.
Google Trends Users Disappointed
A discussion on Reddit showed that many users were disappointed that the service was ending.
One Redditor commented:
“It’s really disappointing to see Google shutting down yet another useful feature. It feels like they used to be all about rolling out innovative tools that made our lives easier – I’ve used quite a few of them over the years. But lately, it seems like they’re closing these services one by one.”
Another Redditor commented that the unreliability of Google’s services is what stops them from using Google Gemini because they don’t want to rely on a service that can’t be depended to be around in the near future.
