We also highlight the biggest limitations of Pinterest Analytics, offer workarounds, and introduce tools like PinnerAnalytics to help you get more from your data.

By the end of the episode, you'll have clear action steps to start getting better insights and results from your Pinterest analytics.

In this episode of Pin Talk, Tony and I (Carly) discuss the ongoing debate of using Pinterest’s native scheduler versus third party scheduling tools. We share our personal stories—yes, including the time I lugged around a physical binder to keep my pinning on track—and how our workflows evolved as new tools hit the market.

We unpack the real differences between the native scheduler and third party tools, not just from a technical standpoint, but in how they impact consistency, analytics, team management, and, ultimately, your account’s success. Along the way, we consider the role of cost, the all-important human touch in staying engaged on the platform, and some speculation on how Pinterest might weigh signs of “real” user activity in the age of spam and AI.

You’ll walk away with our latest honest takes, a few laughs, and actionable steps for making scheduling work for you. And, of course, we hint at some exciting new tools we’re building to make your pinning life easier.
