Tailwind pricing in 2026: what Pins, credits and accounts cost
Tailwind charges per Pinterest account: $29.99 a month to schedule Pins ($17.99 billed yearly), with 300 credits. What 1 and 5 accounts really cost.
Short answer
Tailwind's current plans are Pinterest only and priced per Pinterest account. Pin Scheduling & Creation is $29.99 a month ($17.99 billed yearly) with 300 credits, and each scheduled Pin uses one. Pinterest SEO and Pinterest Engagement are $14.99 ($11.99) each, all three together are $44.98 ($29.98), and extra credits cost $10 per 100.
This is Tailwind the Pinterest scheduler, not the Tailwind CSS framework. It no longer sells one plan with a post limit: you buy up to three tools for each Pinterest account, and each tool comes with a monthly allowance of credits that scheduling and the AI features spend. Every figure here comes from Tailwind's pricing page and help centre, read signed out on 12 November 2026, in US dollars.
Tailwind's plans at a glance
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly (per month) | Credits a month | Schedules Pins |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pin Scheduling & Creation | $29.99 | $17.99 | 300 | Yes |
| Pinterest SEO | $14.99 | $11.99 | 50 | No |
| Pinterest Engagement | $14.99 | $11.99 | 50 | No |
| Bundle (all three) | $44.98 | $29.98 | 400 | Yes |
Every price is per Pinterest account. A yearly plan is charged once, up front: $215.88 for Pin Scheduling & Creation and $359.76 for the Bundle. Yearly billing takes 40% off the scheduling tool and saves $180 a year on the Bundle. Tailwind doesn't charge VAT, but US sales tax is added in some states.
What each plan includes
- Pin Scheduling & Creation: the Pin Scheduler with SmartSchedule and spacing for Pins that link to the same page, SmartPin and Ghostwriter to make Pins and write their titles and descriptions, website sync, SEO-friendly Pin filenames and 300 credits a month.
- Pinterest SEO: keyword research and tracking, keywords for each page of your site, the keywords Pinterest matched to your Pins, and 50 credits a month. It doesn't schedule Pins.
- Pinterest Engagement: Tailwind Turbo, which boosts Pins for up to 90 days, and 50 credits a month. It doesn't schedule Pins either.
- Bundle: all three tools for one Pinterest account, with 400 credits a month. Bought separately they would be $59.97 a month.
The plans Tailwind sells now publish to Pinterest only. Instagram and Facebook scheduling is left on its legacy plans (Pro, Advanced, Max and Plus), which new customers can't buy, and a legacy plan can't be combined with the current ones.
How credits work
- Scheduling a Pin: 1 credit. The 300 credits on Pin Scheduling & Creation cover 10 Pins a day for 30 days if you spend nothing else.
- AI and keywords: Ghostwriter costs 1 credit, or 2 when it writes two or three fields at once. A keyword search is 1 credit, and a SmartPin run is 1 to 7.
- Turbo: 7, 12 or 15 credits to boost a Pin for 30, 60 or 90 days.
- Refresh: included credits refresh every 30 days and don't carry over. They only work in the tools you pay for, so SEO credits can't schedule a Pin.
- More credits: 100 for $10, at any time, and bought credits roll over. Auto-refill is off for new subscriptions, and charges at most 3 times per account in 30 days.
What it costs for 1 and 5 Pinterest accounts
- One account, 5 Pins a day: 150 Pins in 30 days uses half of the 300 credits, which leaves room for Ghostwriter. Pin Scheduling & Creation alone is $17.99 a month billed yearly ($215.88 up front), or $29.99 monthly.
- One account, 15 Pins a day: 450 Pins needs 150 credits more than the plan includes. Bought credits roll over, so that is 3 packs every two months, about $15 a month: $32.99 a month on yearly billing or $44.99 monthly. The Bundle's 400 credits still fall 50 short, which makes it $34.98 or $49.98, so buy it for SEO and Turbo, not for the credits.
- An agency with 5 Pinterest accounts: 5 × $17.99 is $89.95 a month billed yearly ($1,079.40 up front), or 5 × $29.99 = $149.95 monthly. With the Bundle on every account it is $149.90 a month billed yearly, or $224.90 monthly.
The pattern: one Pinterest account pinning a few times a day is cheap, especially billed yearly. The bill rises in a straight line with each account, and with each 100 Pins past the allowance, but never with the number of people.
Team members and approval
On the current plans you can add as many collaborators as you like at no charge. Each one gets their own Tailwind login and sees every Pinterest account on yours. An Admin can do everything except billing. A Viewer can only create drafts, which wait for an admin to approve them before they publish. That is approval inside your own team: we found no link in Tailwind's help centre that a client can approve from without signing in.
Free trial and small print
- Free plan: none on the current plans. Each Pinterest account gets a one-time set of free actions instead: 10 scheduled Pins, 5 SmartPin and 5 Ghostwriter generations, 5 keyword searches and 3 Turbo boosts. They don't reset.
- Card: not needed to start. You pay by card or PayPal, or through Shopify; Tailwind doesn't take bank transfers or pay-by-invoice.
- Refunds: none for cancelling early. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for, which on a yearly plan is the whole year.
- Non-profits: 50% off any product, with proof of status.
A third option: PostDaily
PostDaily is our product, so weigh this accordingly. It doesn't design Pins, research Pinterest keywords or space repeat links the way SmartSchedule does, and its plans include a set number of seats where Tailwind's collaborators are unlimited. A business that lives on Pinterest should probably stay with Tailwind. PostDaily fits when Pinterest is one network among several: it publishes to Bluesky, Mastodon, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, YouTube and Pinterest, sets a board, section, title, link and alt text on every Pin, and its paid plans cover several channels with no credits and no monthly post quota. A client approves from a link with no account on Pro, and the free plan covers 1 channel (not X) and 5 scheduled posts a month. PostDaily vs Tailwind says who should stay, how to schedule Pins on Pinterest covers the free route, and our prices are on the pricing page.
