Looking for a Tailwind alternative?
Tailwind is a Pinterest specialist: SmartSchedule spreads Pins through the day, Ghostwriter writes titles and descriptions, and Create turns one photo into many Pin designs. Its current plans schedule only to Pinterest, at $29.99 a month ($17.99 billed yearly) per Pinterest account with 300 credits; scheduling to other networks remains only on legacy plans that new customers can't buy. When Pinterest is one network among several, that is where people start looking.
Who should use which
Stay with Tailwind if Pinterest drives your traffic and you pin several times a day: SmartSchedule, Pin designs from a photo and keyword-led titles are built for exactly that, and PostDaily has none of them. PostDaily fits when Pinterest is one network among several, when credits run out before the month does, or when a client should approve without a login.
Where Tailwind is the better choice
Leading with this because it decides the question for a lot of people, and you should not have to dig for it.
It is built for Pinterest
SmartSchedule spreads Pins across waking hours with guaranteed gaps, and spaces out Pins that link to the same page. Tailwind recommends 5 or more Pins a day and is built to keep that up. PostDaily's queue uses the posting times you set and doesn't space repeat links on its own.
Pin design and keywords
Create turns a photo into many Pin designs from templates, Ghostwriter writes three title and description options around your keywords, and a Pinterest SEO product researches keywords. PostDaily's assistant writes text but doesn't design Pins.
Unlimited collaborators
Tailwind's current plans don't charge per person. PostDaily plans include a set number of seats.
Where PostDaily is the better fit
Pinterest and every other network
PostDaily publishes to Bluesky, Mastodon, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, YouTube and Pinterest, one post per channel at the same time, with a board and section, title, link and alt text for every Pin.
No credits
Each Pin Tailwind schedules costs a credit, 300 a month on its scheduling product, and more cost $10 per 100. PostDaily's paid plans have no monthly post quota; only X has a monthly budget, because X charges per post.
Several Pinterest accounts on one plan
Tailwind needs a separate subscription for each Pinterest account. A PostDaily plan covers a channel allowance, 10 on Pro and 100 on Agency.
A client approves from a link
Every Tailwind collaborator signs in, and a Viewer's drafts wait for an admin. PostDaily's review link comes with Pro: a client approves or leaves feedback in the browser with no account.

Common questions
- Does Tailwind still schedule Instagram?
- Not on the plans it sells now. Tailwind's help centre says Instagram and Facebook scheduling remains only on legacy plans, which new customers can't buy.
- Is Tailwind free?
- Each Pinterest account gets a one-time trial: 10 scheduled Pins and a few uses of its other tools. Some older Tailwind pages still describe a free-forever plan.
- Is PostDaily cheaper than Tailwind?
- For one Pinterest account pinning daily, Tailwind's $17.99 a month billed yearly is hard to beat. For several Pinterest accounts or other networks, compare PostDaily's plans on our pricing page.
- What does Tailwind do that PostDaily does not?
- SmartSchedule spacing for Pinterest, Pin designs from a photo, Ghostwriter titles and descriptions, and Pinterest keyword research.
