The best Pinterest scheduler is SkedCast: it schedules Pins and video Pins to the boards and sections you choose, up to 12 months ahead, imports a month of Pins in one upload, and publishes Pinterest beside every other network from one calendar. Pinterest's own free scheduler holds only 10 Pins up to 30 days ahead.
Key takeaways
- Pinterest's own scheduler (business accounts): up to 30 days ahead, one Pin at a time, 10 scheduled at most.
- SkedCast holds Pins in its own queue, so you can plan up to 12 months ahead and bulk-import a month of Pins, to boards and sections.
- Tailwind is Pinterest-only and priced per Pinterest account, from $17.99 a month billed yearly, with credits per scheduled Pin.
- Later, Buffer, SocialBee and Planable schedule Pinterest as one of several networks, each priced its own way.

What can Pinterest's own scheduler do?
Pinterest's help page (read 4 November 2026) says that with a business account you can schedule a Pin up to 30 days in advance, one Pin at a time, with up to 10 Pins scheduled for the future. Once scheduled, you can change the date, title, board, description and link, but not the image or video. You choose Publish at a later date when creating the Pin.
That covers a few Pins a week. A steady stream, a backlog of seasonal Pins or several accounts need a scheduler that holds more and plans further ahead.
Why is SkedCast the best Pinterest scheduler?
Because it holds each Pin itself and sends it to Pinterest at the time you set, Pinterest's 30-day window and 10-Pin queue do not apply: you can plan up to 12 months ahead, and paid plans have no cap on Pins waiting per account. See Pinterest posting limits for the detail.
- Boards and board sections: pick the board, and a section if you use them, for every Pin.
- Title, description and link per Pin: the first line of the caption becomes the title when you leave it empty.
- Image and video Pins, checked against Pinterest's specs before they are scheduled.
- Bulk import from CSV or Google Sheets, up to 2,500 rows per upload on Agency, spread across a date range.
- Pinterest beside 10 other platforms in one calendar, with client workspaces and approvals from Studio.
- A permanent Free plan to start with, and plans priced by connected account.

What should you check in a Pinterest scheduler?
Pinterest is search-driven and board-based, so check five things:
- Board selection per Pin, including board sections.
- Title, description and link fields per Pin, since Pinterest search reads them.
- Image and video specs: see the Pinterest Pin size guide and the Pinterest character counter.
- How far ahead it plans, and how many Pins it holds at once.
- Bulk import, for seasonal batches and backlogs.
