About Tailwind
Tailwind is a scheduling and design tool built around Pinterest and Instagram, with Facebook added, aimed at bloggers, Etsy sellers and small brands who post visual content. Alongside scheduling it bundles a post designer, an AI copy assistant and a Smart.bio landing page. The Free Forever plan is exactly that, with no expiry, but the monthly posting allowance is small.
What the free plan gives you
- 1 Pinterest, 1 Instagram and 1 Facebook account connected
- 5 scheduled posts per month across those accounts
- 5 AI credits per month for captions and ideas
- 5 post designs per month from the built-in design tool
- Smart.bio link-in-bio page
- Basic analytics, for 1 user
Five posts a month is roughly one pin or post a week, so treat the free plan as a way to learn the scheduler and keep a link-in-bio page live, not as a full posting pipeline.
Where the free plan stops
The post cap is the wall you hit first. Pro lifts it to 150 posts a month, along with 150 AI credits and 200 post designs, still for 1 account set and 1 user. Tailwind lists Pro at $29.99 per month on monthly billing or $17.99 per month on an annual contract. Advanced, at $54.99 per month ($29.99 annual), moves to 300 posts, 2 account sets and 2 users, and Max at $99.99 per month removes the post cap and allows 5 users.
Who it suits
Use the free plan if you post occasionally on Pinterest or Instagram and mainly want the Smart.bio page and a feel for the scheduler. Anyone running a real pinning strategy, where 15 to 30 pins a week is normal, will outgrow 5 posts within days and should compare Pro's annual price against other schedulers before committing.

When to upgrade to a paid plan
Stay on the free plan while you're comfortably under the free plan's limit (1 account per network (Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook), 5 posts/month, 5 AI credits). It's worth moving to a paid plan once you consistently bump into that ceiling, need to remove branding, or want features the free tier holds back. Paid plans start at $29.99/mo.
