Short answer: for Pinterest-first scheduling look at Tailwind, for several networks look at Buffer, Later, Publer or SocialPilot, and for creating the pins themselves use Pin Magic next to any scheduler. Choose by your main job, and confirm current features and prices on each site.
Why look for a Pallyy alternative?
Pallyy is a general scheduling and planning tool. People look elsewhere when they want Pinterest-specific features (board handling, pin design), a different pricing model, or help making the pins rather than only publishing them. Note that we have not tested every plan, so check details before you switch. See our Pin Magic vs Pallyy page.

Tailwind
A Pinterest-focused tool with scheduling, design and copy features. Good if Pinterest is your main channel and you want everything in one place. Check the current plan limits.
Buffer, Later, Publer, SocialPilot
These manage several networks. They fit teams that post to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Pinterest together. Pinterest features are usually simpler than in a Pinterest-specific tool. SocialPilot is often chosen by agencies for client management.
Pin Magic: the creation side
If your real bottleneck is making pins, a scheduler alone will not fix it. Pin Magic Studio turns a post link into 10+ pins from 100+ templates, and the Extension handles blog images and internal links in WordPress. You then publish with Pinterest's scheduler or any tool above. It is $10/month or $70/year for Studio + Extension, with a $100 lifetime deal (pricing).
How to choose
- Mostly Pinterest and many pins: a Pinterest-focused scheduler plus Pin Magic for creation.
- Several networks, light Pinterest: Buffer, Later, Publer or similar.
- Agency with many clients: a team-focused tool such as SocialPilot.
- Low volume: Pinterest's own free scheduler may be enough.
Safety check
Pick tools that connect to Pinterest through its official login screen, not through your password. Avoid auto-follow bots. See how to automate Pinterest posting and best Pinterest automation tools.
