Tailwind

Visit Tailwind
Tailwind is still the closest thing to an official Pinterest growth tool, but its 2026 shift to a shared credit system makes the free plan too thin to seriously evaluate before buying.

Affiliate program

a tiered recurring program starting at 15% commission plus a $25-100 per-content bonus, rising to 20% recurring once an affiliate's referrals cross $2k/month in sales, paid monthly.

What it does

Sample subheading — replace

Tailwind is a social scheduling platform built by Danny Maloney and Alex Topiler, launched in 2015 and built around an early, deep partnership with Pinterest before expanding into Instagram and Facebook. It has stayed narrower than general schedulers like Buffer or Hootsuite by design, focusing specifically on the visual-discovery mechanics of Pinterest.

The standout feature is SmartLoop, which automatically recirculates a business's best-performing pins on a schedule instead of requiring someone to manually repost old content, combined with hashtag and keyword tools built around actual Pinterest search behavior rather than generic social best practices.

The catch is the 2026 pricing overhau

Who this helps

Sample subheading — replace

• A brand or blogger whose traffic depends heavily on Pinterest and wants pin recirculation handled automatically

• An Etsy or e-commerce seller who needs help turning products into scroll-stopping pins at volume

• A content creator managing Instagram and Pinterest together who wants one shared content calendar

• Not a fit for a team scheduling across LinkedIn, X, TikTok, or YouTube, Tailwind's platform coverage stops at Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook
