Topic Interest Comparison

Compare how much interest two or three topics get over time. Type any Wikipedia topic name, pick a time range, and see monthly interest side by side on one chart. It is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser.

Data: Wikimedia Pageviews (human visitors, all platforms). It shows interest in a topic on Wikipedia, not Google search volume.

How to use the Topic Interest Comparison tool

  1. Enter a topic exactly as its Wikipedia article is titled, for example "Bitcoin" or "Python (programming language)".
  2. Add a second and, if you like, a third topic to compare.
  3. Choose a time range and a Wikipedia language edition.
  4. Press Compare topics to draw the chart and see each topic's average, peak month and total views.

What this tool is useful for

Bloggers and marketers use topic interest data to choose what to write about, spot rising or fading subjects, and time content around seasonal peaks. Students and researchers use it to see how public attention shifts after news events, product launches or trends. Because Wikipedia pageviews are public, the chart is a quick and free way to check whether a subject is growing before you invest time in it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as Google Trends?

No. Google Trends measures Google searches. This tool uses Wikipedia pageview counts. The two often move in the same direction, but the numbers are not the same, so use this as a directional guide.

Why does my topic show "not found"?

The name must match a Wikipedia article title. Check the spelling, or search for the topic on Wikipedia and copy the exact title of its page.

Is the tool free and private?

Yes. It is free to use, requires no account, and does not store what you type. Requests go straight from your browser to the public Wikimedia API.

Can I compare topics in other languages?

Yes. Choose another Wikipedia edition and enter the article title in that language.
