Overview
CoSchedule and Pallyy serve different user segments with different Pinterest needs. CoSchedule is designed for marketing teams coordinating campaigns across multiple channels. Pallyy is a visual content planner built primarily for Instagram with Pinterest support added. For dedicated Pinterest marketing, CoSchedule has the deeper publishing toolkit, while Pallyy's visual planning is optimized for Instagram's grid rather than Pinterest's feed. Neither offers Pinterest analytics.
Pinterest Content Planning
Pallyy offers visual content planning with a drag-and-drop interface, but its visual grid preview is designed for Instagram's layout. For Pinterest, where content appears in a feed rather than a grid, this core feature provides less value.
CoSchedule's calendar view shows Pinterest pins as part of your marketing timeline. While not visual in the Pinterest content sense, it gives teams a clear view of when Pinterest content publishes alongside other marketing activities.
Team Features
CoSchedule is built for teams with shared calendars, task assignments, and campaign coordination on its Professional plan and above. If your Pinterest strategy involves multiple team members with different responsibilities, CoSchedule keeps everyone organized.
Pallyy offers team features on its Agency plan ($99/mo) but isn't designed for complex team workflows. It's better suited for individual creators or small teams managing visual content.
Pinterest Scheduling
Pallyy supports Pinterest scheduling with board selection, queue timeslots, and batch upload (no CSV). Its best-time suggestions are Instagram-only, and it has no recycling or Pinterest analytics.
CoSchedule offers more for Pinterest publishing: multi-board posting with sections, video pins, Best Time Scheduling, Bulk Import up to 365 posts, RSS Feed Sync, and ReQueue recycling. Like Pallyy, it has no Pinterest analytics or Pinterest SEO tools.
Pricing
Both tools have free plans: Pallyy's covers 1 social set with 15 posts a month (images only), and CoSchedule's covers 1 profile with 15 queued posts. Pallyy Pro is $25/mo per social set, cheaper than CoSchedule Starter at $39/mo ($29/mo billed annually).
For Pinterest-focused use, neither tool's price fully reflects its Pinterest value since both are designed for other primary purposes. A dedicated Pinterest tool or automation solution may deliver better value per dollar.
Automating Pinterest Content
Neither CoSchedule nor Pallyy designs pins from your existing content. CoSchedule can share new blog posts via RSS with their existing image, but both require manual pin design for every pin you want to publish.
BlogToPin fills this automation gap by converting blog posts into Pinterest-optimized pins automatically. For content creators, this is more impactful than choosing between scheduling tools that both require manual pin creation.
Final Verdict
CoSchedule is better for teams coordinating Pinterest with other marketing channels and for anyone wanting bulk import, best-time scheduling, and recycling on Pinterest. Pallyy is more affordable for visual content planners who primarily use Instagram with Pinterest as a secondary platform.
For Pinterest pin creation efficiency, BlogToPin outperforms both by automating the blog-to-pin conversion process that both tools leave entirely manual.
Want pins created automatically?
Both CoSchedule and Pallyy require manual pin creation. BlogToPin generates pins from your website with AI — no design work needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
7 questions answered about CoSchedule vs Pallyy
Is Pallyy designed for Pinterest or Instagram?
Pallyy is primarily designed for Instagram. Its standout features — visual grid planning and feed preview — are built for Instagram's grid format, and its best-time suggestions are Instagram-only. Pinterest scheduling is supported with board selection and queue timeslots, but there are no Pinterest analytics.
Does Pallyy offer a free plan that includes Pinterest?
Yes, Pallyy has a free plan for 1 social set with 15 posts per month, limited to images. That is enough to try image pins, but video pins, AI captions, and higher volume require the Pro plan at $25/mo per social set.
Is CoSchedule overkill for a solo Pinterest creator?
For most solo Pinterest creators, CoSchedule's team coordination features — shared calendars, task assignments, and campaign workflows — are unnecessary at $39/mo ($29/mo billed annually). Its free plan (1 profile, 15 queued posts) is an option for testing, but solo creators often benefit more from Pinterest-focused tools or cheaper schedulers like Pallyy.
How do CoSchedule and Pallyy compare on Pinterest scheduling features?
Both schedule pins to boards on a calendar. CoSchedule adds multi-board posting with sections, Best Time Scheduling, Bulk Import, RSS, and ReQueue recycling. Pallyy offers queue timeslots and batch upload but no recycling and no Pinterest-specific best times. Neither offers Pinterest analytics.
Can Pallyy's visual grid planner help with Pinterest content?
Pallyy's grid planner is designed for Instagram's layout and provides limited value for Pinterest. Pinterest uses a vertical feed format, not a grid, so the visual preview does not accurately represent how your pins will appear on the platform.
What is the best tool for creating Pinterest pins from blog posts?
Neither CoSchedule nor Pallyy designs Pinterest pins from blog content. BlogToPin is purpose-built for this workflow — it reads your blog posts and automatically generates pin designs with optimized titles, descriptions, and scheduling to your Pinterest boards.
Should I use Pallyy or CoSchedule if I manage both Instagram and Pinterest?
Pallyy is the better choice if Instagram is your main platform and Pinterest is secondary. Its visual planning tools are strong for Instagram, and Pinterest scheduling is included. CoSchedule is preferable if you want stronger Pinterest publishing automation or need to coordinate these platforms with non-social marketing activities like email campaigns and blog launches.
