Short answer for : the two separate tools were consolidated long ago. Google announced that Insights for Search was merged into Google Trends on September 27, 2012 — the current Google Trends interface now contains the functionality previously split between the two products. Official announcement. (search.googleblog.com)

Both and were on the right track, but today there’s a single place to look. Use the current Google Trends Explore page to filter by time, region, category and search type (Web, Image, News, YouTube), compare terms, and inspect related queries and regional maps — those tools replace what Insights used to offer. If you need the basics or a walkthrough, Google’s Trends home and training pages explain the features. Google Trends home. (trends.google.com)

Important interpretation points (practical cautions): Trends shows relative interest, not raw counts — values on the graph are scaled 0–100 where 100 is the peak in the selected window. Low-volume queries may show 0 (insufficient data). The “Rising” list gives percent change and “Breakout” flags very large jumps (Google uses a >5000% threshold), and Trends excludes duplicate and special-character queries. Treat Trends as directional and use it with other tools for absolute volume. [Understanding the data (Google News Initiative)]. (newsinitiative.withgoogle.com)

Quick SEO workflow: 1) pick a timeframe and region; 2) compare up to five terms at once; 3) set the right category/search type to disambiguate terms; 4) scan Related queries (Top and Rising) for content ideas; 5) export CSV and combine with Keyword Planner or your analytics for absolute volumes and conversion data. Keep in mind sampling, seasonality, and low-volume bias when making decisions.

I believe that Google trends lets you search for particular keywords, and it tells you the popularity of those keywords that you are looking for. Google insights is a bit more advanced in that you can search by locations and use more advanced filtering. From what I can tell? ... To be honest, I'm not quite sure myself.

google trends is more on a particular keyword search while the google insight is more on the history of a keyword where you can check the traffic's location and volume.
