Yes, on Pro. QueryWatch, an independent Google Search Console app for iPhone and Android, adds 16 months of history with custom date ranges and period comparison in Pro, and can export the comparison as CSV. The free tier shows real data for every property, but not custom ranges or side-by-side periods.
What does period comparison do?
It puts two date ranges next to each other, for example this month against the previous month, or a week after a site change against the week before. You see how clicks, impressions, CTR and average position moved between the two. Pro’s change investigation then lists the top 20 contributors to the change, so you can see which pages and queries moved the total.

Pro costs $4.99 a month or $14.99 a year, and the price never depends on the number of sites. New subscribers can start the yearly plan with a first month for $0.99. There is no free trial, no weekly plan and no lifetime purchase.
Why is the limit 16 months?
Google Search Console keeps about 16 months of performance data, and every app that reads the Search Console API is limited to what Google keeps. Read how long Search Console keeps data. If you want a longer archive, export a CSV each month.
When is a comparison useful on a phone?
The common cases are a quick check after a release, a Google core update, or a client asking how this month went. If a traffic drop is the question, read how QueryWatch explains a traffic change and, for core updates, did a Google core update hit my site. For client reporting, Pro also makes branded or white-label PDF reports.
Can ChatGPT or Claude compare my periods?
Only from data you give them. An AI assistant cannot open your Search Console account. You can export two periods (or one comparison CSV from QueryWatch Pro) and ask it to summarise what changed. See ChatGPT prompts for Search Console exports.
Where does the data come from?
From Google. QueryWatch reads Search Console through Google’s public API with read-only scopes. Positions are the averages Google reports. QueryWatch is not a rank tracker, never scrapes search results, and does not show Google Analytics 4 or Bing Webmaster Tools data.
Can I see it before subscribing?
Demo Mode runs the whole app, including Pro screens, on four sample properties without signing in. Demo numbers are sample data, not real traffic. See what Demo Mode is.
