Are there any **free** Twitter Analytics sites?

The site

> **[Twitter Analytics for Tweets, Timelines & Twitter Maps | Social Bearing](https://socialbearing.com/)**
>
> Powerful Twitter analytics. Find, filter and sort tweets or handles by influence, engagement, sentiment, location and more

analyzes up to 100 tweets at a time. This is a very small amount – I can see a trend only for one hour.

For example, is there a way to find how often a phrase like “twitter analytics” have appeared in tweets over the years.

There are many Twitter Analytics sites.

Almost all of them require filling in tons of forms. Some are very expensive.
