Pay as you go, never per month
The full product from day one, plus 25 free credits. After that, credits from $0.007 — spent only on billable work, and nothing that renews.
Credits are the only thing you buy
PinSked does not sell Starter, Pro or Agency packages. There are no feature gates, seat limits or monthly renewals hiding in the pricing table. New accounts start with 25 free credits; after that you buy credits, use the product, and top up when the balance gets low. The minimum purchase is 100 credits, which is $1.

The more you buy at once, the less each credit costs
Move the slider to how many credits you want, in steps of 100, and the rate drops as you go up. The balance sits on your account until you use it.
| Credits | Each | You save |
|---|---|---|
| 100 – 400 | $0.010 | Base rate |
| 500 – 900 | $0.009 | 10% off |
| 1,000 – 1,900 | $0.008 | 20% off |
| 2,000 – 2,500 | $0.007 | 30% off |
The free signup credits are there to test the real workflow before you pay anything, and $1 is deliberately small so the first top-up is not a decision either.
Start with the minimum top-up: 100 credits for $1
Prices are in USD. Local tax is added at checkout where it applies.
The AI runs on your own key, so we never mark it up
We do not resell AI. Connect a key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Perplexity, Groq or Mistral and every generation is billed by your provider at their price, not ours — nothing in credits here. All six draft copy and pin ideas; OpenAI and Gemini also generate images, and we say which is which before you pick.
What a credit buys
Only the actions with a real cost behind them consume credits: saving a rendered draft, scheduling a pin and extracting an article, one credit each. Editing a pin, rescheduling and reading your numbers do not.
Save a pin as a draft
Charged once when the pin is created, including the initial rendered image.
Schedule a pin
Charged once when a pin goes onto your schedule. Moving it to another time later is free.
Extract an article
Paste a blog post URL and we pull out its images and headings as ready-made pin ideas. Opening an article you've already extracted is free. Each pin you then save or schedule is charged as normal.
Edit a saved pin
Change the canvas — template fields, colours, style, artwork — or just the title, description, alt text and link. Re-rendering the image costs nothing.
Publish a scheduled pin
No extra charge. You already paid when you scheduled it.
AI copy for one pin
Title, description, alt text and a board suggestion. Runs on your own AI key, so your provider bills you and we do not.
AI ideas from a keyword
Several distinct angles, each with a headline and a template suggestion. Your AI key, your provider bill.
AI image generation
Runs on your own OpenAI or Gemini key, so your provider bills you directly. Saving the pin still uses the normal PinSked credit cost.
Analytics
Read live from Pinterest whenever you open the dashboard.
Reschedule or change approval state
Moving a queued pin to a new time, approving it or rejecting it costs nothing.

Credits are $0.01 each at the base rate, and cheaper in volume. These examples count saved drafts, scheduled pins and article extraction over four weeks. Editing is free, and how much drafting you hand to AI does not change the PinSked credit cost because your own provider bills you for that separately.
Do I have to pay to try it?
No. Every new account gets 25 free credits once you verify your email, which is enough to save, schedule and publish your first pins. You only buy credits when those run out, and you are never asked for a card to start.
Is there a monthly subscription?
No. You buy credits and spend them as you save, schedule and extract pins. The minimum purchase is 100 credits for $1, and nothing renews on its own.
Do I get a discount for buying more at once?
Yes. Credits are bought on a slider in steps of 100, and the price per credit drops as you move it up: $0.010 up to 400, $0.009 from 500, $0.008 from 1,000 and $0.007 from 2,000. It is the same product at every level — buying more changes the price, never what you can do. Nothing is tiered, gated or locked behind a plan.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits stay on your balance until you spend them, so if you take a season off your balance is still there when you come back. If we ever change that we will email you at least 30 days beforehand, and it would not affect credits you had already bought.
What happens if I run out of credits?
You just cannot save, schedule or extract new pins until you top up — nothing already saved is affected, and anything already scheduled keeps publishing normally, since publishing itself is free. We warn you by email when your balance falls to 20% and again to 5% of your last top-up, so you can top up before you hit zero.
Can I get a refund?
Unused credits can be refunded within 14 days of purchase. The full detail is in the refund policy.
Do I need my own AI API key?
Yes. We do not resell AI — you connect a key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Groq or Mistral, and every generation runs on your account and your provider bill. That means the AI costs you nothing in credits here, and you are never paying our markup on top of a model. Setting it up takes a couple of minutes and you can change or remove the key whenever you like.
What happens if I do not connect one?
Everything except the AI still works: the full template catalog, brand kits, the approval queue, the calendar, bulk scheduling and analytics. You write the titles and descriptions yourself. The AI buttons stay switched off until a key is connected — nothing silently fails or half-works.
So what actually costs credits?
Three things, one credit each: saving a pin as a draft (including its first rendered image), scheduling a pin, and extracting an article from its URL (opening one you have already extracted is free). Editing a saved pin — canvas or text — is free, and so are rescheduling, publishing, analytics and AI copy on your own provider key.
Which providers can I connect, and does it matter which?
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Groq or Mistral. All six draft copy and pin ideas. Only OpenAI and Google Gemini can also generate images, so if that matters pick one of those — the provider list labels each one "Text only" or "Text & images" before you connect it, and the image controls simply do not appear on a text-only key. Template rendering needs no AI key, but saving a rendered draft still uses a credit.
Do you take payments in my currency?
Prices are in USD. Your card issuer converts at their rate, and any local VAT or sales tax is calculated at checkout by our payment provider.
Try it with 100 credits
The minimum top-up is $1. Enough to save and schedule a first batch of pins — and edits along the way are free.
