When bloggers search for the cheapest Pinterest scheduler, they compare monthly prices. But a scheduler only posts pins — you still have to make them. The genuinely cheapest option is the one with the lowest total cost: scheduling *and* pin creation combined, minus the hours you spend designing.
Third-party plan details and pricing change frequently. Confirm current numbers on the official site before relying on them — this page is a general guide, not a live price sheet.
The hidden half of “cheap”
A $10 scheduler looks cheap until you add a design tool and your time. For bloggers publishing weekly, creation — not the posting slot — is the real expense. So compare total stacks, not single prices.
Cheapest Pinterest scheduler options (total cost view)
| Approach | Rough monthly* | Creates pins? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pinterest native scheduler | $0 | No | Bloggers who design elsewhere & post manually |
| Buffer / Later (basic) | ~$6–15 | No | Multi-platform scheduling of finished pins |
| Tailwind | ~$15–20 | Templates only | Pinterest-first scheduling + analytics |
| URL2Pin | Free → ~$9 | Yes — from URL | Bloggers who need pins made *and* scheduled |
*Illustrative — verify current pricing. The cheapest *scheduling-only* tool is Pinterest’s native scheduler ($0); the cheapest *total* workflow is usually one tool that creates and schedules.
For most bloggers, one tool is cheapest
If you would otherwise pay for Canva plus a scheduler, a create-and-schedule tool removes a line item. URL2Pin turns a blog or product URL into multiple pins and schedules them, starting free. See URL2Pin vs Tailwind and URL2Pin vs Buffer.
Free route
On a strict budget: design/generate pins on a free tier, then schedule with Pinterest’s native scheduler ($0). Use the free keyword tool for titles. Upgrade only when volume makes in-app scheduling worth it.
Try it free: Paste one Amazon or blog URL into URL2Pin for multiple pin angles in minutes. Research titles with the free Pinterest keyword tool and score products first with the Amazon pin worth checker.

A create-and-schedule tool to avoid paying for design + scheduling separately. See URL2Pin vs Tailwind.
