New Site Radar vs Glimpse

Disclosure: we build New Site Radar. Everything below about Glimpse comes from its public pages as we read them on October 3, 2026 (sources at the bottom). Products change; if something here is out of date, email hello@newsiteradar.com and we will fix it.

Glimpse is a trend discovery platform built on search data, covering topics in every consumer category with search volume, trend alerts and forecasts. New Site Radar has a narrower job: monthly rankings of AI tool websites registered in 2025 or later that are gaining traffic.

When Glimpse is the better fit

You want search-volume trends for any topic, such as products, foods or brands, not just AI tools.
You want trend alerts and forecasts for keywords, or search volume shown inside Google Trends.

When New Site Radar is the better fit

You want AI tool sites that launched recently and are starting to grow, before they are well known.
You want to know how far to trust each number: every figure is checked against a second source where one exists, and the evidence is on the site page (see the methodology).
You want to query the data from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex over MCP.

Try it: the growth rankings have a free monthly sample, and Pro shows the full board.
