For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d separate the problem into two layers:

1. Pinterest Business Manager for identity, access, and permissions.
2. A multi-account scheduler for the actual Pin queue, calendar, and publishing.

That avoids sharing passwords and keeps scheduling separate from account administration. Pinterest’s Business Manager supports employee/partner access and profile-level Publisher permissions; Publisher access includes creating, editing, organizing, and scheduling Pins. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

My shortlist

What I'd use

Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager would be my starting setup if Pinterest is the main channel.

Tailwind is particularly suited to a queue-based operation: you can create drafts, assign boards, schedule them, and use interval scheduling to distribute a Pin across multiple relevant boards. Tailwind Knowledge Base Tailwind Knowledge Base

A practical team structure would be:

• 1–2 managers: full Pinterest Business Manager access.
• Content creators: access to the relevant profiles, rather than all 10.
• Schedulers: Publisher access to the profiles they actually operate.
• Clients/owners: remain owners of their own Pinterest businesses where applicable.
• Tailwind: one shared scheduling workspace, with each Pinterest profile connected individually.

Pinterest specifically supports parent/child business hierarchies for organizations managing multiple businesses, while noting that independently owned client businesses should remain independent rather than simply being made child accounts. Pinterest Help

One important distinction: Pinterest permissions aren't granular down to individual Pin actions. Publisher access gives fairly broad organic-content capabilities, including editing/deleting Pins and scheduling future Pins. Pinterest Help So if your workflow requires "creator can submit a Pin, but only manager can publish it," I'd choose the scheduling software based on its approval workflow rather than relying on Pinterest permissions alone.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether the 10 profiles belong to one company or different clients, I can narrow this down to a specific setup and tool/plan combination.

For 10 Pinterest profiles and a small team, I’d narrow it to three options:

My practical pick: Tailwind

If Pinterest is the primary job, Tailwind is probably the best operational fit. It has a Pinterest-focused visual scheduler, bulk scheduling, multiple-account management, and team collaboration. It also supports spacing a Pin across multiple boards over time. Tailwind Tailwind Knowledge Base

tailwindapp.com

I'd structure the workflow roughly as:

• Content creator: creates Pins → puts them into drafts.
• Manager: reviews/edits → approves.
• Publisher: handles the final queue/scheduling.
• Admin: manages the 10 connected Pinterest profiles and team access.

If permissions/approval are the biggest concern: Buffer

Buffer is particularly attractive if you want a straightforward "creator → approval → queue" workflow. It supports multiple Pinterest accounts, lets you assign channel-level permissions, and has a Needs Approval role where team members can create drafts without publishing them. Help Center Help Center

buffer.com

That's a nice setup for a small team because people use their own logins rather than sharing Pinterest passwords. Help Center

If you're running this like an agency: Sprout Social

Sprout Social is the more heavyweight choice. Its Pinterest integration supports scheduling/queues, a shared asset library, approval workflows, and fairly granular user/profile permissions. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Support

sproutsocial.com

I'd choose it if the 10 profiles belong to different clients/brands and you need strong separation of access, approvals, reporting, and assets.

One important point

I'd use Pinterest Business Manager alongside whichever scheduler you choose, rather than giving everyone the Pinterest passwords. Pinterest lets businesses assign employee/partner access and manage permissions centrally. Its Publisher role can create, edit, organize, and schedule Pins, although Pinterest notes that its Publisher permissions aren't individually customizable. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

So my shortlist would be:

1. Tailwind — Pinterest-first operation.
2. Buffer — simplest small-team approval/queue workflow.
3. Sprout Social — agency/client operation with more sophisticated permissions.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether the 10 profiles are yours or belong to clients, I can recommend the specific setup (including who should get which permissions).

If you're running this like an agency: Sprout Social

Sprout Social is the more heavyweight choice. Its Pinterest integration supports scheduling/queues, a shared asset library, approval workflows, and fairly granular user/profile permissions. support.sproutsocial.com support.sproutsocial.com

sproutsocial.com

I'd choose it if the 10 profiles belong to different clients/brands and you need strong separation of access, approvals, reporting, and assets.

One important point

For 10 Pinterest profiles and a small team, I’d separate the problem into two layers:

1. Pinterest Business Manager → permissions and account ownership.
2. A scheduling/workflow tool → pin queues, calendars, approvals, and team coordination.

My shortlist

What I'd use for your setup

If Pinterest is the main channel: I'd look closely at Tailwind. Its workflow is built around Pinterest-style scheduling and queues, so it's a natural fit if you're managing lots of Pins rather than a broad social-media mix.

If you're also managing Instagram/Facebook/etc.: Buffer is probably the cleaner small-team setup. Buffer supports multiple Pinterest accounts and lets you schedule to different boards for different profiles. Help Center

If you have a more formal approval process: look at Sprout Social or Later, particularly if you need people to create → review → approve → publish rather than simply add things to a queue.

Don't use the scheduler as your permission system

For 10 profiles, I'd make Pinterest Business Manager the source of truth for access. Pinterest lets you assign employees/partners to specific profiles with Publisher access without sharing passwords. Publisher access covers creating, editing, organizing and scheduling Pins. Pinterest Help

If the 10 profiles belong to the same organization, Pinterest also supports parent/child business hierarchies, which can make managing multiple businesses/profiles considerably cleaner. Pinterest Help

A sensible structure would be:

• Owner/manager: 1–2 people with full Business Manager control.
• Content managers: Publisher access only to the profiles they actually handle.
• Designers/copywriters: work in the scheduler/workflow without needing broad Pinterest account privileges.
• Scheduler: connected through each person's authorized Pinterest access rather than sharing Pinterest passwords. Pinterest explicitly supports third-party connections through its authorization system. Pinterest Help

For a 3–5 person team managing 10 profiles, my default choice would be Pinterest Business Manager + Buffer if you want simplicity, or Pinterest Business Manager + Tailwind if Pinterest is essentially your whole operation.

If you're also managing Instagram/Facebook/etc.: Buffer is probably the cleaner small-team setup. Buffer supports multiple Pinterest accounts and lets you schedule to different boards for different profiles. support.buffer.com

If you have a more formal approval process: look at Sprout Social or Later, particularly if you need people to create → review → approve → publish rather than simply add things to a queue.

Don't use the scheduler as your permission system

For 10 profiles, I'd make Pinterest Business Manager the source of truth for access. Pinterest lets you assign employees/partners to specific profiles with Publisher access without sharing passwords. Publisher access covers creating, editing, organizing and scheduling Pins.

If the 10 profiles belong to the same organization, Pinterest also supports parent/child business hierarchies, which can make managing multiple businesses/profiles considerably cleaner.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d use a two-layer setup rather than trying to make one tool do everything:

My recommendation

1. Pinterest Business Manager — permissions/access

Use business.pinterest.com as the source of truth for access.

It lets you assign individual employees/partners access to specific profiles without sharing Pinterest passwords. The Publisher permission allows someone to create, edit, organize, and schedule Pins. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

For 10 profiles, I'd structure it roughly as:

• Owner/manager: 1–2 people with administrative access
• Content team: Publisher access only to the profiles they actually manage
• Analyst/client: reporting access where appropriate
• Avoid giving everyone access to all 10 profiles.

Pinterest also supports parent/child business hierarchies, which can be useful if the 10 profiles belong to multiple brands/businesses. Pinterest Help

2. A social scheduling tool — queue/workflow

For the actual "what Pins are waiting, who approved them, and when do they go live?" workflow, I'd shortlist:

• tailwindapp.com — probably my first choice if Pinterest is the primary channel. Strong Pinterest-specific scheduling/queue functionality.
• buffer.com — better if you're also coordinating Instagram/Facebook/etc. Simple team workflow and approvals.
• sproutsocial.com — worth considering if this is a more serious agency operation with substantial reporting, approvals, and client workflows, but likely overkill for a small team.
• planable.io — particularly good if your main problem is content approval/review, rather than Pinterest-specific scheduling.

What I'd choose for your situation

If the 10 profiles are mostly Pinterest:

Pinterest Business Manager + Tailwind

That gives you:

Pinterest Business Manager → who can access each account
Tailwind → Pin queue, scheduling, team workflow
Shared content storage → Canva/Drive/etc. for source files

The important distinction is that I wouldn't rely on the scheduling tool as your permission system. Pinterest's own Business Manager lets you control profile access without handing around login credentials. Pinterest Help

If your bigger problem is "designer makes Pins → writer adds descriptions → manager approves → scheduler publishes", I'd lean toward Planable + Pinterest Business Manager instead.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and what each person does (e.g. 2 designers, 2 VAs, 1 manager), I can recommend the exact setup and workflow for the 10 accounts.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d separate the problem into two layers:

1. Pinterest permissions — who is allowed to touch which profile.
2. Pin workflow/queue — what’s being created, approved, scheduled, and published.

My recommendation: Pinterest Business Manager + Tailwind

Use Pinterest Business Manager as the permission layer, and Tailwind as the operational scheduling/queue layer.

Pinterest Business Manager is particularly useful here because it lets you assign employees or partners access to specific profiles without sharing login credentials. Its Publisher permission covers creating/editing Pins and boards and scheduling Pins. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

For 10 profiles, I'd structure it roughly like:

• Owner/manager: full access to all 10.
• Content team: Publisher access only to the profiles they work on.
• Designer: ideally access only where needed, with the actual approval/publishing handled by the content team.
• Freelancers/agencies: add them as partners rather than sharing passwords.
• If the 10 profiles represent different brands, use asset groups to bundle profiles and permissions logically. Pinterest Help

Then use Tailwind for the day-to-day queue: content calendar → draft → review → scheduled → published.

Alternative: Buffer

Buffer is worth considering if your team also manages Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Its agency workflow supports multiple people collaborating, and it treats each connected social profile as a channel. Help Center

I'd choose:

One important point: I wouldn't use the scheduling platform as your primary permission system. Pinterest's own Business Manager is better suited to controlling who can access each profile, and Pinterest explicitly supports multiple businesses/profiles and parent/child account structures. Pinterest Help

If you tell me how many people are on the team, whether the 10 profiles are yours or clients', and roughly how many Pins/day you publish, I can recommend the exact stack and workflow I'd use.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d use a dedicated content workflow tool for the queue, while using Pinterest’s own Business Manager for permissions.

My recommendation: Planable + Pinterest Business Manager

1. Planable — for the pin queue and team workflow

Planable is a good fit if your main problem is “what’s ready, what needs approval, and what gets published when?” It supports Pinterest business pages and lets you plan, collaborate on, schedule, and publish Pinterest content. Planable

A useful workflow would be:

• Draft → creator prepares Pin
• Internal review → teammate checks creative/copy/link
• Approved → ready for publishing
• Scheduled → assigned date/time
• Published → completed
• Organize the 10 profiles into separate workspaces or clearly labeled queues

That gives you a much cleaner editorial system than trying to coordinate everything inside Pinterest itself.

planable.io

2. Pinterest Business Manager — for actual account permissions

I would not use a scheduler as your primary permissions system.

Pinterest Business Manager lets you give individual employees or partners access to specific profiles without sharing passwords. For organic Pinterest management, the relevant permission is Publisher, which allows someone to create/edit/organize Pins and boards and schedule Pins. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

For 10 profiles, you could structure it like:

Pinterest also supports parent/child business-account structures if the 10 profiles belong to a larger organization, although I wouldn't introduce that complexity unless you actually need it. Pinterest Help

business.pinterest.com

What I would not do

I wouldn't have everyone share Pinterest usernames/passwords, and I wouldn't try to use a generic spreadsheet as the publishing queue.

The combination of Planable for workflow + Pinterest Business Manager for access control gives you a nice separation:

Planable = “Who is working on which Pin, and is it approved?”
Pinterest Business Manager = “Who is allowed to touch which account?”

One caveat: Pinterest says Publisher permissions aren't granular within a profile—you essentially give the user the ability to manage that profile's organic Pins/boards, rather than giving them a narrowly scoped “can only schedule but can't edit” permission. Pinterest Help

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether these 10 profiles are yours or client accounts, I can recommend the best setup between Planable, Tailwind, Sprout Social, Buffer, and a cheaper Airtable/Notion + scheduler setup.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d usually avoid the biggest enterprise suites unless you need strict approvals/audit trails. The best setup depends on whether your main pain is queuing, permissions, or content production.

Recommended stack

Option 1 — Best overall for a Pinterest-focused team: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

Best if Pinterest is your main channel.

Why it fits:

• Built around Pinterest workflows rather than treating Pinterest as just another social network.
• Good for maintaining pin queues, scheduling, and managing multiple profiles.
• Supports team collaboration features and multiple Pinterest accounts. Tailwind Knowledge Base Tailwind

Pair it with Pinterest’s own permissions:

• Use Pinterest Business Manager for assigning access instead of sharing passwords. It supports employee/partner roles and profile permissions. Pinterest Help

A typical workflow:

1. Designer uploads pin creatives.
2. Content manager reviews titles/descriptions/boards.
3. Approver signs off.
4. Scheduler queues pins.
5. Owner retains account control.

Option 2 — Best if you manage other social channels too: Buffer

Best for a lean team doing Pinterest + Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn/etc.

Pros:

• Simple queue model.
• Multiple Pinterest accounts can be connected.
• Easier for general social media teams to learn. Help Center

Cons:

• Less Pinterest-specialized than Tailwind.
• At 10 profiles, channel-based pricing can become a factor.

Option 3 — Best for approvals and larger collaboration: Hootsuite

Best if you have clients, managers, compliance requirements, or many reviewers.

Strengths:

• More mature team workflows.
• Better suited when multiple people need roles, approvals, and oversight. Hootsuite

Downside:

• Usually more software than a small Pinterest team needs. Tailwind

What I would choose for a 3–6 person team managing 10 profiles

My default recommendation:

Avoid giving everyone the Pinterest login. Keep:

• 1–2 owners/admins
• creators with limited access
• schedulers/editors as needed

For your size, I’d start with Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager and only move to Hootsuite-style software if approval complexity becomes the bottleneck. Pinterest Help Tailwind

If you tell me how many people are on the team, whether the 10 profiles are separate brands/clients, and approximate pins per week, I can narrow this down to a specific plan.

For 10 Pinterest profiles and a small team, I’d avoid building the workflow entirely inside Pinterest. You want two layers:

1. Pinterest Business Manager for secure account/profile permissions.
2. A social media scheduler for the actual pin queue, approvals, and publishing workflow.

My recommendation: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

tailwindapp.com is probably the best fit if Pinterest is your primary channel.

Why:

• Designed heavily around Pinterest rather than treating it as just another social network.
• Good for maintaining separate queues/calendars for 10 profiles.
• Lets the team work from a centralized scheduling workflow rather than passing spreadsheets around.
• Useful Pinterest-specific scheduling and planning features.
• Then use Pinterest's own Business Manager for the actual access control.

Pinterest Business Manager supports employee/partner access and lets you assign profile-level Publisher access without sharing passwords. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

One important caveat: Pinterest's Publisher permission is fairly broad—it allows creating, editing, deleting and scheduling Pins and managing boards—so I'd keep Manager/Admin access limited to one or two people. Pinterest Help

Other good choices

• buffer.com — better if you also manage Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn and want a simple, general-purpose team scheduler.
• later.com — attractive if visual content planning is important and Pinterest is one of several channels.
• sproutsocial.com — much more robust for approvals, reporting, workflows, and larger teams, but probably overkill for a small 10-profile operation.

The workflow I'd use

Pinterest Business Manager
→ controls who can access each profile

Tailwind
→ controls what gets queued, reviewed, and published

A simple shared content database (Airtable/Notion/Google Sheets)
→ stores Pin URL, creative, copy, destination URL, board, profile, owner, status

For example:

If your main pain is "10 profiles + several people need to collaborate on a big Pin queue," I'd pick Tailwind. If you're managing Pinterest alongside a bunch of other social channels, I'd lean Buffer or Later instead.

Also, don't share the Pinterest account passwords among the team. Pinterest explicitly supports employee/partner access through Business Manager, including assigning Publisher access to individual profiles. Pinterest Help

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether each person works on all 10 profiles or only specific profiles, I can recommend the exact setup and permission matrix.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d prioritize:

1. A shared queue/calendar
2. Role-based permissions (no password sharing)
3. Approval workflow (draft → review → scheduled)
4. Clear ownership of each profile
5. Bulk pin management

My shortlist:

My recommendation for your size

For 3–6 people handling 10 profiles, I’d usually choose:

Option A: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

• Best if Pinterest is the main platform.
• Each team member gets their own access.
• Use queues by profile/brand.
• Keep ownership and permissions in Pinterest rather than sharing logins. Pinterest Business Manager supports employee/partner roles and profile permissions so people can manage Pins without sharing credentials. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

Option B: Buffer or Metricool

• Better if the same team also runs Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
• One calendar for all channels.
• Easier cross-platform reporting. PinPinterest

Suggested workflow

• Pinterest Business Manager

• Owner/admin: 1–2 people
• Publishers: content managers
• Analysts: reporting-only users Pinterest Help
• Scheduler

• One workspace
• One queue per Pinterest profile
• Statuses: - Draft
• Needs review
• Approved
• Scheduled
• Published
• Asset storage

• Shared folder system (Drive/Dropbox/DAM)
• Naming convention like:

Brand_Profile_Campaign_Date_Pin#

I would avoid managing 10 profiles by having everyone log directly into Pinterest accounts. Use Business Manager permissions plus a scheduler so you have an audit trail and can remove access when someone leaves. Pinterest Help

If you tell me how many people are on the team, whether these are client accounts or your own brands, and whether you need approval steps, I can narrow it to one or two tools.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d use a Pinterest-native permission layer + a dedicated scheduling/queue tool rather than trying to make one system do everything.

My recommendation

1. Pinterest Business Manager — permissions & account ownership

Use business.pinterest.com as the source of truth for access.

Pinterest lets you assign employees or partners access to specific profiles, rather than sharing passwords. For organic Pinterest management, the relevant permission is Publisher, which allows someone to create, edit, organize and schedule Pins. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

For 10 profiles, I'd structure it roughly like:

• 1–2 managers: full Business Manager control
• Pin creators/designers: Publisher access only to the profiles they work on
• Scheduler/ops person: Publisher access to all 10 profiles
• Clients/owners: retain ownership/manager access
• No shared Pinterest passwords

One important caveat: Pinterest's Publisher permission is fairly broad—it isn't a granular "can create drafts but can't delete Pins" permission. Pinterest Help

2. Tailwind — pin queues, scheduling & workflow

For the actual Pin calendar/queue, I'd shortlist tailwindapp.com first.

It's particularly Pinterest-oriented, so it's a better fit than a generic social scheduler if Pinterest is the team's primary workload. You can have the team work from a centralized queue/calendar rather than manually coordinating "whose Pin goes out when."

The workflow I'd aim for is:

Idea → Draft → Review → Approved → Scheduled → Published

Then have each of the 10 profiles represented as its own queue/calendar.

3. Add a lightweight project-management layer if needed

If your problem is more "who is responsible for this Pin?" than scheduling itself, I'd add something like notion.com, Airtable, or Asana.

For example, an Airtable/Notion content board could have:

Then Tailwind handles publishing, while the project-management tool handles production and accountability.

What I would not do

I wouldn't rely on Pinterest's native scheduler alone for a 10-profile team. Pinterest currently limits native scheduling to one Pin at a time and up to 10 future scheduled Pins, which becomes cumbersome across multiple profiles. Pinterest Help

I also wouldn't give every team member unrestricted access to every account just because it's easier. Pinterest Business Manager supports assigning profile access individually, so you can keep access reasonably compartmentalized. Pinterest Help

Best stack for your size

Simple:
Pinterest Business Manager + Tailwind

More operationally mature:
Pinterest Business Manager + Tailwind + Airtable/Notion

For 10 profiles and a small team, I'd start with the first option and only add Airtable/Notion if you find yourselves losing track of approvals, creative assignments, or deadlines.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether these are 10 brands/clients or 10 profiles belonging to one company, I can recommend the exact permission structure and workflow I'd use.

For a small team managing ~10 Pinterest profiles, I’d keep the stack simple: Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager.

My pick: Buffer

buffer.com is probably the best fit if your main problem is “who is preparing, approving, and publishing which Pins?”

• Buffer supports multiple Pinterest accounts in one organization. Help Center Help Center
• You can give each teammate Full Access, Needs Approval, or No Access on a channel-by-channel basis. Help Center
• The Needs Approval workflow is particularly useful: junior/content people can create drafts, while an owner/editor approves them before publication. Help Center
• Its All Channels view lets you see scheduled, draft, approval-pending, and published content across channels from one dashboard. Help Center
• Buffer also added separate Community permissions and team 2FA in 2026, which is useful as the team grows. Buffer

For 10 profiles, I'd structure it something like:

That avoids giving everyone the Pinterest passwords.

Use Pinterest Business Manager for the underlying permissions

business.pinterest.com is worth setting up alongside Buffer. Pinterest itself supports employee/partner roles and granular permissions for organic profiles and other business assets. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

If these 10 profiles represent different brands/clients, Pinterest's parent/child Business Manager structure can also keep accounts separated while allowing central administration. Pinterest Help

What about Tailwind or Later?

Tailwind is worth considering if your workflow is very Pinterest-centric. It has Pin scheduling and collaborator roles, including a Viewer role where submissions require admin approval. Tailwind Knowledge Base

Later is better if Pinterest is only one part of a broader social-media operation. Its Access Groups let you isolate particular social profiles, users, and media libraries. Later Help Center Later Help Center

But for 10 Pinterest profiles + a small team + queue/approval/permissions, I'd choose:

Pinterest Business Manager + Buffer Team

It gives you a clean separation: Pinterest controls account ownership/access; Buffer controls the day-to-day content queue and approval workflow.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether the 10 profiles are yours or belong to clients, I can suggest the exact Buffer permission setup and queue structure I'd use.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d prioritize three things:

1. A shared content calendar + queue
2. Role-based permissions (no password sharing)
3. Approval workflow before Pins go live

My shortlist:

My recommendation for your setup

If you are mainly a Pinterest team:
→ Use Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

• Tailwind handles the queue, scheduling, and team workflow. Tailwind
• Pinterest Business Manager handles account access so people don’t need shared logins. It supports assigning employees/partners roles and profile permissions. Pinterest Help

A practical structure:

• Owner/Admin: 1 person
• Content managers: can create/edit/schedule Pins
• Designers: create assets, no account ownership
• Approver: reviews drafts before publishing

If you need client-style approvals

Choose Sprout Social. It is built more like an agency/team system: shared calendars, asset libraries, approval workflows, permissions, and Pinterest reporting. Sprout Social Sprout Social Support

A workflow I’d use for 10 profiles

1. Store creative assets in a shared library (Drive, Dropbox, or the scheduler’s asset library).
2. Create Pins as drafts.
3. Add metadata: - profile
4. board
5. URL
6. campaign name
7. owner
8. approval status
9. Reviewer approves.
10. Scheduler publishes from the queue.
11. Weekly review of analytics.

I would avoid managing 10 profiles directly inside Pinterest alone; the coordination overhead becomes the problem, not the posting.

For a 3–5 person team, I’d probably pick:

• Budget-conscious: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager
• Agency/client work: Sprout Social
• Mostly scheduling, minimal approvals: Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager

support.buffer.com Pinterest Help

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d keep the stack fairly simple:

My pick: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

tailwindapp.com is probably the best fit if Pinterest is the main channel.

• Pin queues: Tailwind has a dedicated Pin Scheduler, SmartSchedule, interval scheduling, bulk CSV uploads, board lists, and spacing controls. Tailwind Knowledge Base Tailwind Knowledge Base
• 10 profiles: It is designed to manage multiple Pinterest accounts from one dashboard. Tailwind Tailwind
• Team workflow: Collaborators can have their own logins. You can give them Admin or Viewer access; Viewers can create drafts that require approval before publishing. Tailwind Knowledge Base
• Pinterest-native permissions: Use Pinterest Business Manager alongside it. Pinterest lets you assign employees/partners access and separate organic profile permissions from advertising permissions. Pinterest Help

A good setup would be:

Pinterest Business Manager → controls who can access each profile
Tailwind → controls the actual pin pipeline/queue
Team members → create drafts → reviewer approves → Tailwind publishes

Alternative: Buffer

buffer.com is the better choice if your team also manages Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

Buffer supports multiple Pinterest accounts and lets you select different boards for each profile. Help Center Its Team plan provides individual user accounts, per-channel permissions, drafts, and approval workflows. Help Center

I'd choose:

One important distinction: don't use Tailwind/Buffer as your fundamental permission system. Keep ownership and access controlled through Pinterest Business Manager, then use the scheduler for operational workflow. Pinterest specifically supports employee/partner roles and Publisher access for organic content. Pinterest Help

For a 10-profile operation, I'd start with Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager, with one or two people as admins and everyone else working as draft/approval-level users. That gives you a clean queue without everyone having the keys to all 10 accounts.

For a small team managing ~10 Pinterest profiles, I’d separate the problem into two layers:

1. Pinterest permissions/access — use Pinterest’s native Business Manager.
2. Pin queue, approvals, scheduling, and team workflow — use a social publishing tool.

My top pick: Planable + Pinterest Business Manager

planable.io is probably the best fit if your main pain is “who is responsible for this Pin, has it been approved, and when does it go out?”

Planable supports Pinterest business pages and lets you plan, collaborate, schedule, and publish Pinterest content. It also distinguishes internal team members from external/client users, so you can keep drafts and internal notes private. Planable Planable

A good workflow would be:

• Planable: master Pin queue → drafts → assign owner → review → approve → schedule.
• Pinterest Business Manager: control which team member can access each of the 10 profiles.
• Create groups such as Brand A, Brand B, etc., and give each employee access only to the profiles they need.

Pinterest Business Manager supports employee/partner access and profile-level permissions without sharing login credentials. Its Publisher permission covers creating, editing, organizing and scheduling Pins. Pinterest Help

Other options worth considering

How I'd structure the 10 accounts

If you have, say, 3–5 people, I wouldn't give everyone access to everything.

For example:

• Owner/manager: all 10 profiles
• Content creator A: profiles 1–5
• Content creator B: profiles 6–10
• Reviewer: all 10, primarily for approvals
• Freelancer: only the specific profiles they work on

Pinterest's Business Manager also supports asset groups, which can make this much easier when you have multiple profiles. Pinterest Help

One important caveat: Pinterest's Publisher permission isn't granular—once someone has Publisher access to a profile, they can create/edit/delete Pins and boards and schedule Pins. So keep actual Pinterest permissions fairly tight and let your queue/approval software handle the workflow. Pinterest Help

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether these 10 profiles are for 10 different clients/brands or 10 profiles owned by one company, I can recommend the cheapest setup and exact permission structure.

For 10 Pinterest profiles and a small team, I’d keep the stack simple: use Pinterest Business Manager for access control and a dedicated scheduler for the actual queue/workflow.

My recommendation: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

tailwindapp.com is probably the best fit if Pinterest is the main channel.

• 10 profiles: Tailwind supports managing multiple Pinterest accounts from one dashboard. Tailwind Tailwind
• Queues: You get visual scheduling, queues, bulk scheduling, and a calendar—useful if each profile has its own publishing cadence. Tailwind Tailwind Knowledge Base
• Team workflow: Collaborators can have their own logins rather than sharing credentials. Viewer-level collaborators can create drafts that require admin approval before publishing. Tailwind Knowledge Base
• Pinterest-specific: Tailwind is more Pinterest-centric than general social-media management platforms, including features such as interval scheduling across boards. Tailwind Knowledge Base

The catch: Tailwind's collaborator permissions are relatively broad—its docs say collaborators can see all additional brands/accounts attached to the Tailwind account. Tailwind Knowledge Base So I'd pay attention to how you structure the workspace if these are separate clients.

Better if permissions/approvals are the priority: Buffer

buffer.com is my second choice.

Buffer lets you connect multiple Pinterest accounts and schedule to different Pinterest boards for each profile. Help Center More importantly, its Team setup lets you give users per-channel permissions, including:

• Full Access — create/schedule/publish
• Needs Approval — create drafts and submit them for approval
• No access to particular channels

Users get their own Buffer login, so you don't have to share passwords. Help Center

For a team of, say, 1 manager + 2–4 content people, I'd seriously consider Buffer if your workflow is:

Creator makes Pin → Pin enters queue → Manager reviews → Approved Pin publishes

If you're running a more serious agency: Sprout Social

sproutsocial.com is the more heavyweight option. It has Pinterest scheduling, a shared content calendar, asset library, approval workflows, and role/profile permissions. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social

I'd choose it if you're managing Pinterest plus Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn/etc. for multiple clients. For just 10 Pinterest profiles, it may be more software than you need.

Don't overlook Pinterest's own permissions

Regardless of scheduler, I'd set up Pinterest Business Manager properly rather than giving everyone the Pinterest passwords.

Pinterest allows businesses to assign employees/partners access to individual profiles, and its Business Manager supports managing multiple businesses/accounts from one place. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

One important limitation: Pinterest's Publisher permission isn't finely customizable—it gives fairly broad ability to create/edit/delete Pins and boards and schedule Pins. Pinterest Help

So I'd structure it like:

Bottom line:

• Pinterest-first team: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager
• Best permissions/approval workflow: Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager
• Agency managing many social networks: Sprout Social + Pinterest Business Manager

For 10 profiles specifically, I'd lean Buffer if your biggest problem is who can see/post to what, and Tailwind if your biggest problem is keeping 10 Pinterest queues full and organized.

If you're running a more serious agency: Sprout Social

sproutsocial.com is the more heavyweight option. It has Pinterest scheduling, a shared content calendar, asset library, approval workflows, and role/profile permissions. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social

I'd choose it if you're managing Pinterest plus Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn/etc. for multiple clients. For just 10 Pinterest profiles, it may be more software than you need.

Don't overlook Pinterest's own permissions

Regardless of scheduler, I'd set up Pinterest Business Manager properly rather than giving everyone the Pinterest passwords.

Pinterest allows businesses to assign employees/partners access to individual profiles, and its Business Manager supports managing multiple businesses/accounts from one place. help.pinterest.com help.pinterest.com

One important limitation: Pinterest's Publisher permission isn't finely customizable—it gives fairly broad ability to create/edit/delete Pins and boards and schedule Pins.

So I'd structure it like:

For 10 Pinterest profiles and a small team, I’d narrow it to Buffer vs. Sprout Social, with Pinterest Business Manager handling the underlying account permissions.

My pick: Buffer

buffer.com is probably the best fit if your main needs are shared queues + approvals + multiple people managing multiple Pinterest profiles, without paying for a large enterprise social suite.

• You can connect multiple Pinterest accounts and schedule to different boards for each profile. Help Center
• Team members get their own logins, so you don't have to share Pinterest credentials. Help Center
• You can give someone Full Access or Needs Approval access on individual channels. That makes a workflow like creator → reviewer → publisher straightforward. Help Center
• The queue/calendar is the central place for everyone to see what is scheduled and who created a post. Help Center

For your setup, I'd structure it roughly as:

10 Pinterest profiles → Buffer → 2–4 team members → channel-level permissions → approval before publishing

When I'd choose Sprout Social instead

sproutsocial.com is the better choice if you're running this more like an agency/marketing operation and need robust approval workflows, asset management, reporting, and granular permissions.

Sprout supports Pinterest scheduling/queues, a shared asset library, approval workflows, calendar planning and Pinterest analytics. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Its permissions can be controlled at company, group, profile and feature levels, which is considerably more sophisticated than you probably need for a small team. Sprout Social Support

Don't overlook Pinterest's own permissions

Regardless of scheduler, I'd use help.pinterest.com for the actual Pinterest account access.

Pinterest lets you give employees/partners access without sharing passwords. Its Publisher permission allows someone to create, edit and schedule Pins and manage boards. Pinterest Help

One caveat: Pinterest's Publisher permission is fairly broad—it isn't finely customizable. Pinterest Help So I'd use Pinterest Business Manager for account ownership/access, and Buffer for day-to-day workflow and approvals.

What I'd use

Bottom line: I'd start with Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager. Sprout is excellent, but for only 10 Pinterest profiles it may be more platform than you need. If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether these 10 profiles belong to one company or different clients, I can recommend the exact setup/plan and permission structure.

For 10 Pinterest profiles and a small team, I’d use Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager rather than trying to manage everything directly inside Pinterest.

My pick: Tailwind

tailwindapp.com is particularly well suited to Pinterest because it gives you:

• One dashboard for multiple Pinterest accounts rather than constant account switching.
• Visual pin queues/calendars so teammates can see what is scheduled and what still needs work.
• Bulk scheduling and drag-and-drop scheduling.
• Multi-board/interval scheduling, useful when the same content needs to be distributed across boards over time. Tailwind Tailwind Knowledge Base
• Team collaboration, with collaborators able to create and manage content. Tailwind

The important caveat is pricing: Tailwind's current published plans only include 1–3 Pinterest accounts per plan, with up to 5 users on its Max tier, so 10 profiles will likely require a higher/custom arrangement or multiple workspaces. Tailwind

For permissions: use Pinterest Business Manager

I would keep access control separate from your scheduling tool.

business.pinterest.com lets you give employees/partners access without sharing Pinterest passwords. Pinterest's Publisher permission allows someone to create, edit, organize, and schedule Pins, while Business Manager lets you control who has access. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

For 10 profiles, I'd structure it roughly like:

A good alternative: Buffer

buffer.com is worth considering if your team also manages Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Buffer supports multiple Pinterest accounts and lets you choose different boards for each profile. Buffer

Its team permissions are actually quite nice: users can have Full Access or Needs Approval, and permissions can be customized per channel. Buffer

So I'd choose:

Pinterest-heavy operation → Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

Multi-platform social team → Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager

For 10 Pinterest profiles specifically, I'd lean Tailwind, but I'd want to verify the current multi-account/team pricing before committing because its publicly listed plans don't neatly cover 10 accounts.

For a small team managing ~10 Pinterest profiles, I’d keep the stack fairly simple:

My top pick: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

tailwindapp.com is probably the best fit if Pinterest is the main focus.

• Strong Pinterest-specific scheduling and queue management.
• You can manage multiple Pinterest accounts from one dashboard.
• Team members can have their own Tailwind logins rather than sharing credentials.
• Tailwind's Viewer collaborator role can create drafts that require admin approval before publishing, which is useful for a creator → reviewer → publisher workflow. Tailwind Knowledge Base Tailwind
• It also supports bulk scheduling and multi-account scheduling. Tailwind Knowledge Base

For the actual account permissions, I'd use Pinterest's own Business Manager rather than trying to make Tailwind your permissions system. Pinterest lets you assign employees/partners access to specific profiles and gives them Publisher permissions without exposing the login credentials. Pinterest Help Pinterest Help

A practical setup would be:

Pinterest Business Manager → who is allowed to access each profile
Tailwind → what gets created, reviewed, queued, and published

If you need a more formal approval workflow: Sprout Social

sproutsocial.com is the better choice if you're running this more like an agency or marketing department.

It supports Pinterest, an asset library, tagging, reporting, and—importantly—approval workflows for routing Pins through the team before publication. Sprout Social Support

The downside is cost/complexity. For only 10 Pinterest profiles, I'd consider it overkill unless you also need sophisticated reporting and management of other social networks.

Budget/simple option: Buffer

buffer.com is worth considering if your team wants a conventional social-media calendar rather than a Pinterest-specialist tool.

Buffer supports multiple Pinterest accounts and lets you select different boards for each profile when scheduling. Buffer It also has team approval functionality and is positioned toward small teams. Buffer

What I'd choose

One important point: don't share the Pinterest passwords among the team. Pinterest Business Manager supports employee/partner access and profile-level Publisher permissions, so you can revoke an individual's access without changing credentials for everyone. Pinterest Help

For 10 profiles, I'd probably structure the team as 2 admins + creators/reviewers with restricted access to the profiles they actually work on, then have Tailwind handle the publishing queue.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether each person works on all 10 profiles or owns a subset, I can suggest a specific permission + queue structure.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d use a dedicated social scheduler for the queue/workflow, while using Pinterest’s own Business Manager for permissions.

My pick: Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager

• buffer.com — best fit if your main need is a shared Pin queue. Buffer supports multiple Pinterest accounts, scheduling to different boards, drafts, and approval workflows. Team members can be given channel-by-channel access, including Full Access or Needs Approval. Buffer Buffer
• business.pinterest.com — use this as the underlying access-control layer. Pinterest lets you assign employees/partners access to individual profiles without sharing passwords. Pinterest Help

A sensible setup would be:

The nice part is that Pinterest Publisher access already allows creating, editing, organizing and scheduling Pins, while avoiding password sharing. Pinterest Help

When I'd choose something else

Sprout Social is worth considering if you're also managing lots of other social networks and need a more sophisticated approval/asset/reporting system. Its Pinterest integration includes an asset library, calendar, analytics and approval workflows. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social

For 10 Pinterest profiles specifically, though, I think Buffer is the simpler, more economical choice. You don't really need an enterprise social suite just to coordinate a Pin queue.

One important distinction: don't rely on Buffer alone for account security. Connect the profiles through Pinterest's Business Manager and keep ownership/permissions there; Buffer is primarily your planning, queue and approval layer. Pinterest explicitly supports third-party platforms through its authorization system. Pinterest Help

If you tell me how many people are on the team (e.g. 3, 5, 10) and whether each person handles specific profiles or everyone works across all 10, I can recommend the exact setup and plan tier.

For a small team managing ~10 Pinterest profiles, I’d shortlist Buffer and Tailwind, with Planoly as a third option.

My pick: Buffer

buffer.com is probably the best fit if your main problem is “who can work on which Pinterest account, and who has to approve pins?”

• Supports multiple Pinterest accounts/channels. Buffer
• Team members get their own logins, so you don't have to share Pinterest credentials. Buffer
• You can assign permissions per Pinterest profile: - Full Access — create, schedule and publish
• Needs Approval — create drafts that require approval
• No Access — can't access that channel Buffer
• This makes it easy to divide 10 profiles among several people—for example, a VA gets approval-only access to 4 profiles while a manager has full access to all 10.
• Buffer also added team 2FA controls in 2026, which is useful when several people are accessing business accounts. Buffer

A workflow I'd use:

Content creator → Draft/queue → Manager reviews → Approves → Scheduled → Published

That is much cleaner than having everyone log directly into Pinterest.

Best if Pinterest is the main focus: Tailwind

tailwindapp.com is worth considering if you're doing a large volume of Pins and want Pinterest-specific scheduling/queue functionality. Tailwind specifically supports managing multiple Pinterest accounts and team collaboration. Tailwind Tailwind

The catch is permissions: Tailwind's collaborator model is more coarse. Admin collaborators get broad access, while Viewer collaborators can create drafts that require admin approval. Tailwind Knowledge Base

So I'd choose Tailwind when Pinterest scheduling efficiency matters more than granular access control.

Planoly

planoly.com is another solid option, particularly if your team also manages Instagram/TikTok/etc. It supports Pinterest scheduling and lets you put users into individual workspaces, so a team member only sees the workspace they've been added to. Planoly Help Planoly Help

What I'd choose

One other consideration: Pinterest's own Business Manager can handle employee/partner access, but its Publisher role is fairly broad and Pinterest says those permissions aren't customizable. Pinterest Help So I'd use Pinterest Business Manager for the underlying account ownership/access layer, and a scheduler like Buffer for the actual queue and approval workflow.

For your specific setup, I'd start with Buffer Team: create the 10 Pinterest channels, give each staff member access only to their assigned profiles, and make most people Needs Approval rather than Full Access. That gives you a clean separation between creating pins and actually publishing them. Buffer Buffer

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d use Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager rather than trying to make Pinterest itself your queue-management system.

My recommended setup

• buffer.com — scheduling + team workflow

• Central calendar/queue for all 10 Pinterest profiles.
• Team members can be given access to specific channels.
• You can set people to Full Access or Needs Approval, which is useful if one person creates Pins and another approves them. Buffer Buffer
• Buffer supports scheduling to multiple Pinterest accounts and selecting different boards for each profile. Buffer
• business.pinterest.com — permissions + account ownership

• Keep ownership and access control in Pinterest rather than sharing passwords.
• Pinterest lets you assign employees/partners access to individual profiles, including Publisher access for creating, editing, organizing and scheduling Pins. Pinterest Help
• If the 10 profiles belong to the same organization, Pinterest also supports parent/child account structures for managing multiple businesses/profiles. Pinterest Help

The workflow I'd use

Content creator → Buffer draft → reviewer approval → scheduled queue → Pinterest

For example:

That gives you one visual queue across 10 profiles, while Pinterest remains the source of truth for who actually has access to each account.

I wouldn't rely on Pinterest's native scheduler alone: Pinterest currently limits native scheduling to 10 future Pins per account, whereas a dedicated scheduler is much better suited to maintaining substantial queues. Pinterest Help

If you're choosing one piece of software: Buffer.
If you're setting up the whole system: Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager.

If you tell me your team size (e.g. 3 people) and whether the 10 profiles are for one company or different clients, I can recommend the exact permission structure and Buffer plan/setup I'd use.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d separate the problem into two pieces:

1. Pinterest Business Manager for account/permission control.
2. A social scheduling tool for the shared Pin queue, approvals, and publishing.

My picks

Tailwind would be my first choice if these are primarily Pinterest accounts. It has a Pinterest-specific scheduler, lets you build queues and schedule Pins to multiple boards, and currently publishes through Pinterest's official API. Tailwind Knowledge Base

Sprout Social is the better choice if you have a real content-production workflow—e.g. creator → reviewer → publisher. It supports Pinterest approval workflows, an asset library, calendar planning, and reporting. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social

Buffer is attractive if you don't need sophisticated approvals. It supports multiple Pinterest accounts and lets you schedule to different boards for each profile. Buffer

For permissions, use Pinterest itself

I would not give everyone the Pinterest passwords.

Pinterest Business Manager lets you assign employees/partners to specific profiles and give them Publisher access. Publisher access lets someone create, edit, organize, and schedule Pins without sharing the login credentials. Pinterest Help

One important limitation: Pinterest's Publisher permission is fairly broad—it isn't broken down into granular "can draft but can't publish" permissions. Pinterest Help

So I'd structure your team roughly like:

• 1–2 admins: Pinterest Business Manager Managers
• Content creators: Publisher access only to the profiles they actually work on
• Reviewer/lead: Publisher access + approval responsibility in your scheduling platform
• No shared passwords
• Scheduling platform: everyone works from the shared queue/calendar rather than directly inside Pinterest

What I'd actually buy

If this is a Pinterest-focused operation with 10 profiles, I'd start with:

Pinterest Business Manager + Tailwind

That's probably the best balance of Pinterest-specific scheduling, queues, multiple accounts, and team operations without paying for a giant social-media suite.

If your key requirement is "nothing gets published until a manager approves it," I'd lean toward Sprout Social instead because its Pinterest workflow explicitly supports approvals. Sprout Social Support

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether you need client approvals, I can narrow this down to the best setup and likely monthly cost.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d optimize for two things:

1. A shared content queue/calendar (so people know what is ready, scheduled, or waiting for approval)
2. Role-based permissions (so not everyone needs full account access)

My shortlist:

My recommendation for your setup

For 10 Pinterest profiles + a small team, I’d choose:

Option A — Best overall: Planable + Pinterest Business Manager

Use:

• Planable for:

• assigning pins to teammates
• internal comments
• approval flows
• seeing all 10 profiles in one calendar
• limiting who can publish
• Pinterest Business Manager for:

• account-level permissions
• controlling who has access to each profile/assets without sharing passwords Pinterest Help

This is the setup I’d pick for an agency or a team with a designer, content manager, and approver.

Option B — Best Pinterest-only workflow: Tailwind

Use Tailwind if:

• most of your work is Pinterest
• you want queue automation
• you don’t need complex client approval chains

It is especially good when one person loads hundreds of pins and the system handles timing. Tailwind Knowledge Base

Suggested team structure

For 10 profiles:

• Admin/owner: 1 person

• manages Pinterest Business Manager
• controls permissions
• Content creators: 1–3 people

• create drafts
• upload images
• write descriptions
• Approver: 1 person

• reviews before publishing

Avoid giving everyone direct Pinterest login access.

A practical workflow

1. Create one workspace per brand/profile.
2. Import brand assets (logos, templates, image folders).
3. Create a weekly pin calendar.
4. Designers create drafts.
5. Reviewer approves.
6. Scheduler publishes.
7. Review analytics monthly.

For only 10 profiles, I would avoid heavier enterprise platforms like Hootsuite or Sprout unless you need advanced reporting, compliance, or many more users. SocialRails

If you tell me whether these 10 profiles are 10 brands/clients or 10 profiles owned by the same company, and how many team members need access, I can narrow this to a specific stack.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d separate the problem into two layers:

1. Pinterest Business Manager for account ownership and permissions.
2. A Pinterest scheduler/content queue for actually organizing and publishing Pins.

My pick: Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager

buffer.com is probably the simplest fit if your main need is a shared queue across 10 profiles. Buffer supports multiple Pinterest accounts, lets you schedule to different boards for each profile, and provides publishing and analytics. Buffer

Use it like this:

• Pinterest Business Manager: controls who can access each profile.
• Buffer: controls the content calendar/queues.
• Google Drive/Dropbox: stores creative assets.
• Slack: handles quick approvals/issues.

The big advantage is that you don't have to share Pinterest passwords. Pinterest's Business Manager lets you assign employees/partners access to individual profiles, and Publisher access allows them to create, edit, organize and schedule Pins. Pinterest Help

If you need a stronger approval workflow

I'd look at hootsuite.com instead. It's more appropriate if you have several people doing different jobs—e.g. creators → editors → approvers → publisher—and you want formal approval workflows and more extensive team controls.

For only 10 profiles, though, I'd consider it potentially overkill unless approval/compliance is important.

How I'd structure the 10 accounts

One important Pinterest limitation: Publisher permissions aren't granular. Once someone has Publisher access to a profile, they can create/edit/delete Pins and boards and schedule Pins; Pinterest doesn't let you customize those individual organic permissions further. Pinterest Help

Pinterest also supports parent/child Business Manager structures, which can be useful if these 10 profiles belong to the same organization. Pinterest Help

Bottom line: I'd start with Pinterest Business Manager + Buffer. It's considerably simpler than adopting an enterprise social-media platform, while giving you the two things you actually need: controlled access and a centralized Pin queue.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether each person handles all 10 profiles or specific profiles, I can recommend the exact permission/queue setup and the cheapest sensible plan.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d use Pinterest Business Manager + a dedicated Pinterest scheduler, rather than trying to manage everything inside Pinterest itself.

My top pick: Sprout Social

sproutsocial.com is probably the best fit if your priority is team coordination, approval workflows, and permissions.

• Queue/scheduling: You can schedule Pins at specific times or use a queue. Sprout Social Support
• Approvals: Team members can create Pins and submit them for approval before they publish. Sprout Social Support
• Per-profile permissions: Sprout supports profile-level access such as No Access, Read Only, Needs Approval, and Full Publishing. Sprout Social Support
• Groups: You can organize your 10 Pinterest profiles into groups and give different team members access to different groups. Sprout Social
• Calendar: Everyone can see upcoming content in a shared publishing calendar. Sprout Social
• Pinterest is supported across Sprout's plans, although the exact plan you need depends on the workflow and number of profiles. Sprout Social Support

The workflow I'd use:

Content creator → Draft → Reviewer → Approved → Queue → Pinterest

For example, 2–3 people could create Pins, 1 person could approve them, and only 1–2 people could have actual publishing rights.

If Pinterest is your main focus: Tailwind

tailwindapp.com is worth considering if you care more about Pinterest-specific scheduling and queue management than granular team permissions.

Tailwind supports multiple Pinterest accounts and team collaboration, including collaborators who can create/edit content. Tailwind It also has SmartSchedule, queues, intervals, board lists, and bulk scheduling designed specifically around Pinterest workflows. Tailwind Knowledge Base Tailwind

The catch for your use case is 10 profiles: Tailwind's current Max plan lists 3 accounts and 5 users, so you'd need to investigate its higher-volume/agency options rather than assuming the standard plans cover all 10. Tailwind

Don't overlook Pinterest Business Manager

Regardless of which scheduler you choose, I'd set up help.pinterest.com as the underlying access-control layer.

Pinterest lets you assign employees/partners roles and manage access to multiple business accounts. Pinterest Help If these are 10 separate businesses/clients, keep each client's account independent rather than unnecessarily putting them into one parent/child hierarchy. Pinterest specifically recommends that client-owned accounts remain independent. Pinterest Help

One important caveat: Pinterest's own Publisher permission is fairly broad—it includes creating/editing/deleting Pins and scheduling them—so Sprout's finer "Needs Approval" permissions are useful if you don't want every contributor to be able to publish directly. Pinterest Help Sprout Social Support

What I'd choose

For your particular setup, I'd lean Sprout Social. Ten profiles is enough that permission mistakes and queue confusion become more costly than the scheduler itself. Sprout's combination of profile-level permissions, approval states, groups, shared calendar, and Pinterest scheduling is a better operational fit. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Sprout Social Support

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether the 10 profiles belong to 10 different clients/brands, I can recommend the exact setup and likely plan tier.

For a small team managing ~10 Pinterest profiles, I’d prioritize:

1. Shared pin queue/calendar
2. Role-based permissions (no password sharing)
3. Approval workflow
4. Bulk scheduling
5. Analytics by profile/board/pin

My shortlist:

What I’d choose for 10 Pinterest profiles

Option A — Pinterest-first team (my likely pick):

• Tailwind for queues + scheduling
• Pinterest Business Manager for account access control

help.pinterest.com

• A shared design system (for example, Canva Teams) for creatives

This gives you:

• no shared passwords
• each team member gets their own access
• one place to see queued pins
• easier account separation

Option B — agency/client management:

• Sprout Social if you need client approvals, audit trails, and reporting dashboards. support.sproutsocial.com

Option C — lean startup setup:

• Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager + a shared content calendar (Notion/Airtable/Google Sheets)

Suggested team workflow

• Content creator: uploads drafts
• Pinterest manager: optimizes titles/descriptions/boards
• Reviewer: approves queue
• Publisher: monitors analytics and adjusts cadence

For 10 profiles, I would avoid tools that require everyone to log into each Pinterest account directly. Use Pinterest’s own permission system where possible; Pinterest Business Manager supports inviting employees/partners and assigning roles without sharing credentials. help.pinterest.com

If these 10 profiles are all yours, I’d lean Tailwind. If they are 10 client accounts, I’d lean toward a more agency-oriented setup.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d make Tailwind the default choice.

My recommendation

1. Tailwind — best fit for your use case

Tailwind is particularly well suited if Pinterest is the main job rather than just one channel. It has a dedicated Pin Scheduler, queues, SmartSchedule, bulk scheduling, multi-board scheduling, and lets you switch between multiple Pinterest accounts from one dashboard. Tailwind App Tailwind App Tailwind Knowledge Base

The team permissions are also useful: collaborators can have Admin or Viewer access. Viewers can create drafts, but those drafts go through admin approval rather than publishing directly. Tailwind Knowledge Base

One important caveat: Tailwind's current plans start with one Pinterest profile and add additional profile sets on paid tiers; if you need more than three profile sets, Tailwind says to contact them for a custom plan. So I'd get a quote specifically for 10 Pinterest profiles + your number of team members before committing. Tailwind Knowledge Base

I'd structure the workflow like:

Content creator → Draft/queue → Reviewer → Approve → Tailwind publishes

That gives you a clean separation between people who create Pins and the person who actually controls publishing.

2. Sprout Social — better if you're running a broader social operation

If those 10 Pinterest accounts are accompanied by Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc., I'd look seriously at Sprout Social.

Its Publishing Calendar handles multiple profiles and networks, with queues, drafts, approval workflows, role-based permissions and an asset library. Pinterest is supported as a connected network. Sprout Social Sprout Social Support

The downside is that it can be overkill and considerably more expensive if your operation is basically Pinterest. Also, some of the more sophisticated approval/multi-profile capabilities are restricted to higher plans. Sprout Social

What I would actually use

For 10 Pinterest profiles + a small team, I'd choose:

Tailwind + a shared asset storage system (Google Drive/Dropbox) + a simple content tracker.

Keep the tracker for things like:

• Profile/account
• Pin/topic
• Destination URL
• Board
• Creator
• Reviewer
• Status: Idea → Draft → Review → Approved → Queued → Published
• Scheduled date
• Notes

Let Tailwind be the source of truth for the actual publishing queue, rather than trying to recreate its scheduler in a spreadsheet.

And importantly, don't share Pinterest passwords among team members. Connect the accounts to the management platform and give team members their own logins/roles. Tailwind specifically supports individual collaborator logins. Tailwind Knowledge Base

Bottom line: If you're primarily a Pinterest operation, Tailwind is the one I'd trial first. If you're effectively a small social-media agency managing 10 Pinterest profiles plus several other networks, Sprout Social becomes more compelling.

One important caveat: Tailwind's current plans start with one Pinterest profile and add additional profile sets on paid tiers; if you need more than three profile sets, Tailwind says to contact them for a custom plan. So I'd get a quote specifically for 10 Pinterest profiles + your number of team members before committing. Tailwind Knowledge Base

I'd structure the workflow like:

Content creator → Draft/queue → Reviewer → Approve → Tailwind publishes

That gives you a clean separation between people who create Pins and the person who actually controls publishing.

2. Sprout Social — better if you're running a broader social operation

If those 10 Pinterest accounts are accompanied by Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc., I'd look seriously at Sprout Social.

Its Publishing Calendar handles multiple profiles and networks, with queues, drafts, approval workflows, role-based permissions and an asset library. Pinterest is supported as a connected network. sproutsocial.com support.sproutsocial.com

Keep the tracker for things like:

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d use Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager if Pinterest is your main focus.

My recommendation

1. Tailwind — for the actual Pin queue

• Built specifically around Pinterest scheduling.
• Gives you a centralized Pin Scheduler and queue.
• Supports SmartSchedule and multi-board scheduling. support.tailwindapp.com
• Particularly useful if you're managing lots of Pins across 10 profiles rather than just occasionally posting.
• You can manage boards and schedule Pins without constantly switching between Pinterest accounts. support.tailwindapp.com

Tailwind

2. Pinterest Business Manager — for permissions
This is important: I would not use shared Pinterest passwords among your team.

Pinterest Business Manager lets you invite employees/partners and assign access to specific profiles, with roles and permissions managed centrally. help.pinterest.com

For organic Pinterest work, the relevant permission is Publisher. It allows a team member to create/edit/organize Pins and boards and schedule Pins without needing the account's login credentials. help.pinterest.com

Pinterest Business Manager

If you need stronger team approvals

I'd consider Buffer instead of Tailwind if your workflow is something like:

Designer → creates Pin → manager reviews → approved → enters queue → publishes

Buffer has channel-level permissions including Full Access and Needs Approval, so junior team members can create drafts while someone else controls publishing. It also supports multiple Pinterest accounts. support.buffer.com

Buffer

Tailwind vs. Buffer

There is also Sprout Social if you're building a more formal social-media operation. It has centralized assets, calendar planning, approval workflows, and Pinterest publishing/analytics, but it's probably overkill for a small team with only 10 profiles. sproutsocial.com

Sprout Social

Bottom line:

• Pinterest-heavy team: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager.
• Lots of review/approval between team members: Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager.
• Pinterest + Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn/etc. under one sophisticated operation: Sprout Social.

One caveat: Pinterest's own Publisher permission is fairly broad—it isn't granular down to individual actions—so I'd keep 1–2 people as managers/owners and give everyone else only the minimum profile access they need. help.pinterest.com

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d avoid a single-user scheduler and choose something with:

• multi-account support
• role-based permissions (creator vs approver vs publisher)
• shared pin queues/calendars
• approval workflows
• asset libraries
• analytics by profile

My shortlist:

My recommendation for a 10-profile team

Option A — Pinterest-focused operation

• Use Tailwind as the publishing engine.
• Keep a shared content calendar (Airtable, Notion, or ClickUp) for:
  • pin ideas
  • keywords
  • creative status
  • approvals
  • repurposing schedules
• Give team members Pinterest access through Pinterest Business Manager rather than sharing passwords. Pinterest supports assigning employee/partner roles and profile permissions. help.pinterest.com

Option B — Agency/client model
If those 10 profiles belong to different brands or clients, I’d lean toward Hootsuite or Planable:

• designer → creates drafts
• strategist → reviews copy/SEO
• manager → approves
• publisher → schedules

This reduces accidental posting to the wrong account.

A practical stack for a 3–6 person team

• Scheduling: Tailwind or Hootsuite
• Approvals: Planable (if needed)
• Assets: Canva Teams + cloud storage
• Project tracking: Airtable / ClickUp / Notion
• Account security: Pinterest Business Manager + individual logins

I would not manage 10 profiles by having everyone log into Pinterest directly; use permission systems and connected accounts instead. help.pinterest.com

If you tell me whether the 10 profiles are one company’s brands, client accounts, or affiliate/niche accounts, and how many people need publishing rights, I can narrow this to a specific setup.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d prioritize team permissions, approval workflows, separate account workspaces, and a reliable pin queue over just the cheapest scheduler.

My shortlist:

My recommendation for your situation

For a small team + 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d choose:

Option A (most teams): Planable + Pinterest Business Manager

• Create one workspace per brand/profile.
• Give:
  • Creators → draft/edit access
  • Reviewers → approval access
  • Managers → scheduling/publishing access
• Keep publishing permissions limited.
• Use Pinterest’s own Business Manager for account-level access control. Pinterest supports roles for employees and partners and lets you manage who can access accounts. help.pinterest.com

Option B (Pinterest-heavy team): Tailwind

• Use if your team mostly cares about:
  • filling queues,
  • maximizing posting consistency,
  • recycling evergreen content,
  • Pinterest analytics.

A workflow that usually works well

1. Content creator makes pins → scheduler draft queue
2. Editor reviews titles/descriptions/boards
3. Manager approves → scheduled queue
4. Weekly review of analytics → adjust boards and posting cadence

I’d avoid sharing one Pinterest login among the team. Use business accounts and delegated access wherever possible. help.pinterest.com

If you tell me whether the 10 profiles are 10 brands/clients or 10 profiles owned by the same company, and how many team members need access, I can narrow this to a specific setup.

For a small team managing ~10 Pinterest profiles, I’d keep the stack fairly simple:

My top pick: Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager

Buffer is probably the best fit if your main problem is coordinating the Pin queue.

• Supports multiple Pinterest accounts and lets you schedule Pins to different boards/profiles. support.buffer.com
• Has a Needs Approval permission level, so junior team members can create drafts while someone senior approves them. support.buffer.com
• You can give users access to only the channels they need rather than exposing all 10 profiles. support.buffer.com
• Good shared calendar/queue workflow without the complexity of a large enterprise social suite.

Then use Pinterest's own Business Manager for the underlying account permissions. Pinterest specifically supports employee/partner access without sharing login credentials, and you can assign profile access to individual users. support.buffer.comhelp.pinterest.comsproutsocial.com

Suggested setup:

Pinterest Business Manager → controls who can access each profile
Buffer → controls what gets drafted, approved, queued and published

For example:

One important caveat: Pinterest's Publisher permission is fairly powerful. It isn't granular—you give someone Publisher access to a profile and they can create/edit/delete Pins and boards, schedule Pins, etc. help.pinterest.com So I'd avoid giving every contractor Publisher access to all 10 profiles.

If you need a more sophisticated workflow: Sprout Social

Sprout Social is the better choice if you want a proper agency-style operation: shared publishing calendar, asset library, approval workflows, and granular team/profile permissions. sproutsocial.com

I'd choose Sprout if you're managing multiple clients/brands and need formal approvals and reporting. For just 10 profiles and a small team, it may be more software than you need.

Another option: Tailwind

Tailwind is worth considering if Pinterest itself is the center of your operation. Its Pinterest scheduler supports queues, SmartSchedule and publishing across boards, using Pinterest's official API. support.tailwindapp.com

I'd rank it:

1. Buffer — best balance for a small team
2. Tailwind — best if you're heavily Pinterest-focused
3. Sprout Social — best for agency/client workflows and approvals

I would not use a shared spreadsheet + shared Pinterest passwords. At 10 accounts, you'll quickly run into ownership, approval, and offboarding problems. Pinterest Business Manager already gives you the proper foundation for account access. help.pinterest.com

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether these 10 profiles belong to one company or multiple clients, I can recommend the most economical setup and a specific permission structure.

For a small team managing ~10 Pinterest profiles, I’d keep the stack simple: use a Pinterest-aware scheduler for the queue, and let Pinterest itself handle account permissions.

My pick: Later

Later is probably the best fit if your main problem is “who is creating/reviewing/approving/scheduling each Pin?”

• Visual content calendar across profiles
• Pinterest scheduling/auto-publishing
• Team roles and permissions
• Approval workflow: draft → review → approve → schedule
• Comments/feedback attached to the content rather than buried in Slack
• Can schedule across multiple profiles; Later currently supports up to 10 profiles at once for multi-profile scheduling. later.com
• Paid plans support multiple users, with additional users available. later.com

For your size, I'd look at Later Growth rather than an enterprise platform. Later specifically positions Growth for growing teams that need approvals and role permissions. later.com

Alternative: Tailwind

Tailwind is the one I'd choose if Pinterest performance and queue automation matter more than sophisticated team workflow.

Tailwind is purpose-built around Pinterest, supports multiple Pinterest accounts, queues, SmartSchedule, multi-board pinning, and team collaboration. www.tailwindapp.com

The tradeoff: Later is stronger for a structured “creator → reviewer → approver” process; Tailwind is stronger as a Pinterest-native publishing/optimization tool.

Alternative: Buffer

Buffer is worth considering if these 10 Pinterest profiles are part of a broader operation involving Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, etc. Buffer supports multiple Pinterest accounts, queues, drafts and team review/approval. buffer.com

I'd rank it:

Sprout does have excellent permissions, shared calendars, asset libraries and approval workflows, but you're likely paying for considerably more infrastructure than a 10-profile Pinterest operation needs. sproutsocial.com

One important point about permissions

Don't use the scheduler as your only access-control layer. Set up Pinterest Business Manager first.

Pinterest lets you assign employees/partners to specific profiles and give them Publisher access without sharing passwords. Publisher access allows them to create, edit, organize and schedule Pins. help.pinterest.com

For 10 profiles, I'd structure it roughly like:

Owner/Admin
→ full Pinterest Business Manager access

Pinterest manager
→ Publisher access to all 10 profiles + scheduling/approval responsibility

Content creators
→ Publisher access only to the profiles they actually work on

Client/brand owner
→ reviewer/approver in Later, while keeping their Pinterest credentials and ownership separate

Pinterest also supports parent/child business hierarchies, which can be useful if those 10 profiles belong to separate brands or clients. help.pinterest.com

Bottom line: If your pain point is specifically coordinating Pin queues among several people, I'd start with Later + Pinterest Business Manager. If you're running a high-volume Pinterest operation where SmartSchedule, multi-board publishing and Pinterest-specific optimization are more important than approval workflows, choose Tailwind instead.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d focus less on “big social media suite” features and more on:

• shared pin calendar/queue
• approval workflow
• role-based permissions
• avoiding shared Pinterest passwords
• bulk scheduling and asset organization

My shortlist:

My recommendation for your setup

If you are a content team (2–6 people):

• Use Planable + Tailwind:
  • Planable = approval pipeline (“draft → review → approved”)
  • Tailwind = Pinterest optimization and scheduling

If you want one tool only:

• Pick Planable if permissions and approvals matter most.
• Pick Tailwind if Pinterest growth and pin scheduling matter most.

A practical workflow:

1. Each profile has its own workspace/channel.
2. Designers upload pin creatives.
3. Copywriters add titles/descriptions.
4. Manager approves.
5. Scheduler publishes from the queue.
6. Nobody shares Pinterest login credentials.

For 10 profiles, I would avoid an enterprise tool unless you also manage Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn accounts or need detailed reporting across many clients. zapier.com

One question changes the recommendation: are these 10 profiles for one brand, or are they 10 separate client/business accounts?

For a small team managing ~10 Pinterest profiles, I’d narrow it to Planable vs. Tailwind, with Pinterest Business Manager handling the underlying account permissions.

My pick: Planable + Pinterest Business Manager

Planable is probably the best fit if your main problem is “who creates, reviews, approves, and queues each Pin?”

Why:

• Visual calendar + queues: You can see the 10 profiles and move scheduled Pins around easily. planable.io
• Approval workflow: You can require approval before anything publishes, rather than relying on Slack/DMs to say “looks good.” help.planable.io
• Per-person permissions: Planable supports permissions for viewing, editing, publishing, approving, and analyzing. planable.io
• Separate workspaces: Useful if the 10 profiles represent different brands/clients; each can have its own workflow and permissions. planable.io
• It directly supports Pinterest business accounts and can schedule/publish Pins. planable.io

A good team setup would be:

Content creator → draft Pin → reviewer → approval → automatic scheduling → Pinterest

That gives you a much cleaner audit trail than having everyone share Pinterest logins.

If Pinterest is the main channel: Tailwind

Tailwind is the better choice if you're heavily Pinterest-focused and care more about high-volume queue management than elaborate approval workflows.

Tailwind specifically supports multiple Pinterest accounts, team collaboration, and queue-based scheduling, and it uses Pinterest's API integration. www.tailwindapp.com

I'd choose it if your workflow is basically:

“We have hundreds of Pins ready; assign them to the right profile/board and keep the queues full.”

Another strong option: Metricool

Metricool is worth considering if you also manage Instagram/Facebook/etc. and want scheduling + analytics + team access in one platform. Metricool specifically supports multiple Pinterest accounts and different team access levels. metricool.com

I wouldn't make the scheduler responsible for your core permissions

Use Pinterest Business Manager as the source of truth for account access. Pinterest lets you assign employees/partners to specific profiles and give them Publisher access without sharing credentials. help.pinterest.com

One important caveat: Pinterest's Publisher permission is fairly broad—it lets someone create/edit/delete Pins and boards and schedule Pins, and Pinterest says those profile permissions aren't individually customizable. help.pinterest.com

So I'd structure it like this:

Bottom line: For a 3–6 person team and 10 profiles, I'd start with Planable + Pinterest Business Manager. If you're publishing very high volumes and don't need much approval bureaucracy, I'd switch the scheduler to Tailwind. If Pinterest is just one of several networks, Metricool becomes more attractive.

Pinterest Business Manager permissions documentation

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d use a two-layer setup:

My recommendation: Buffer + Pinterest Business Manager

1. Buffer — for the pin queue/workflow

Buffer is a good fit if your main problem is “what pins are coming up, who is responsible, and what needs approval?” It supports multiple Pinterest accounts, scheduling, different boards per profile, and team permissions. support.buffer.comsupport.buffer.com

Its permissions are particularly useful for a small team:

• Full Access → people who can schedule/publish
• Needs Approval → creators who can prepare drafts but need someone else to approve
• Admin → reserve for 1–2 people who actually manage the system

That gives you a clean creator → reviewer → publisher workflow without giving everyone access to everything. support.buffer.comsupport.buffer.com

2. Pinterest Business Manager — for account permissions

I would not use your scheduling platform as the source of truth for ownership/access. Pinterest's own Business Manager lets you assign people access to specific profiles and use the Publisher permission for organic Pins and boards without sharing login credentials. help.pinterest.com

For 10 profiles, you can also use Pinterest's parent/child business hierarchy if these are accounts your organization owns. Pinterest supports up to 20 businesses being added to a hierarchy at once. support.buffer.comsupport.buffer.comhelp.pinterest.com

When I'd choose something else

Tailwind is worth considering if Pinterest is essentially your team's entire business. It has a more Pinterest-centric workflow, supports multiple Pinterest accounts, and specifically emphasizes team collaboration and scheduling. www.tailwindapp.com

Sprout Social makes more sense if the 10 Pinterest profiles are part of a broader social-media operation across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Its Pinterest tooling includes content calendars, asset management, publishing and reporting. sproutsocial.com

What I'd actually set up

For 10 profiles + a small team, I think Buffer is the sweet spot: less heavyweight than Sprout, more general-purpose/team-oriented than Tailwind, while Pinterest Business Manager handles the actual account permissions.

One important distinction: Pinterest's Publisher permission is fairly powerful—it lets someone create, edit, delete and schedule Pins and manage boards, and Pinterest says those profile permissions aren't granularly customizable. help.pinterest.com So I'd keep the number of Pinterest Publishers relatively small and let Buffer handle the finer draft vs. approval vs. publishing workflow.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d narrow it to Tailwind vs. Buffer.

My recommendation: Tailwind

Tailwind is the better fit if Pinterest is the main channel. It’s Pinterest-first, supports multiple profiles, has visual queues/SmartSchedule, bulk scheduling, and collaboration features. support.tailwindapp.com

The important caveat is permissions: Tailwind collaborators are currently either Admin or Viewer. Viewers can create drafts, but their Pins require admin approval before publishing; however, collaborator access applies across the accounts/brands in that Tailwind account rather than giving you granular per-profile permissions. support.tailwindapp.com

So I'd structure the team roughly as:

• 1–2 admins: connect/manage the 10 Pinterest profiles and approve publishing.
• Creators/VA: Viewer access → build queues and drafts.
• Admin: reviews and releases approved Pins.
• Use Tailwind's SmartSchedule/interval scheduling to keep each profile's queue moving without manually picking every time slot. support.tailwindapp.com

Buffer is better if permissions are the priority

Buffer is worth choosing instead if you need more granular team access. Buffer lets admins assign permissions per channel, with options such as Full Access, Needs Approval, or No Access. support.buffer.com

It also supports connecting multiple Pinterest accounts. support.buffer.com

That makes Buffer particularly attractive if, for example:

Person A → Profiles 1–5
Person B → Profiles 6–10
Manager → all 10 + approval
Designer → drafts/approval workflow only

What I'd pick

One other thing: I would not give everyone the actual Pinterest passwords. Pinterest itself has Business Manager roles/permissions for separating account access, and both Tailwind and Buffer can work through connected accounts rather than everyone sharing credentials. help.pinterest.com

Bottom line: if this is essentially a Pinterest operation, I'd start with Tailwind. If you're building a more formal team where who can access which profile is the critical requirement, I'd choose Buffer Team.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and what each person needs to do (create, edit, approve, publish, analytics), I can recommend the exact permission setup for the 10 profiles.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d keep the stack fairly simple:

My first choice: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

Tailwind is probably the best fit if Pinterest is the main channel. It gives you a centralized queue/scheduler, bulk scheduling, and team collaboration. Its current Collaborator system supports separate logins, with Admin and Viewer roles; Viewers can create drafts that require admin approval before publishing. support.tailwindapp.com

Then use Pinterest Business Manager for the underlying account permissions. Pinterest lets you assign people/partners access without sharing passwords, and its Business Manager can manage multiple business accounts. help.pinterest.com

A good workflow would be:

Content creator → Tailwind draft → reviewer approves → scheduled queue → Pinterest

That gives you a clean separation between creating pins and having authority to publish them.

Other options

Buffer is worth considering if the 10 Pinterest accounts are only part of a broader social-media operation. It's designed around straightforward scheduling and team collaboration, but it's less Pinterest-specialized than Tailwind. www.techradar.com

One important permissions detail

I would not solve this by giving everyone the Pinterest passwords. Pinterest's Business Manager supports employee/partner access and role-based permissions. help.pinterest.com

However, Pinterest's organic Publisher permission is fairly powerful: someone with it can create/edit/delete Pins and boards and schedule Pins, and Pinterest says those permissions aren't individually customizable. help.pinterest.com

So for a small team I'd structure it roughly as:

• 1–2 owners/admins: Pinterest Business Manager + Tailwind Admin
• Content staff: Tailwind Viewer/draft access where possible
• Approver: Tailwind Admin who controls the final queue
• Each Pinterest profile: connected through Business Manager rather than shared credentials
• Optional: Notion/ClickUp for briefs, assignments, and content production—not for the actual publishing queue

Bottom line: If these 10 profiles are primarily Pinterest, I'd choose Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager. If you're managing Pinterest alongside Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn/etc., I'd look harder at Buffer or another general social-management platform.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether they need approval before pins go live, I can recommend the exact setup/permissions and the most economical plan.

For a small team managing ~10 Pinterest profiles, I’d narrow it to Tailwind vs. Buffer, with Sprout Social only if you need a much more formal approval/governance setup.

1. Tailwind — my first choice

If Pinterest is the main thing your team does, I'd use Tailwind.

It has a Pinterest-specific Pin Scheduler, drag-and-drop calendar, bulk upload, multi-board scheduling, SmartSchedule, and support for multiple Pinterest accounts. www.tailwindapp.com

The particularly useful feature for your situation is Interval Scheduling: you can put a Pin into multiple boards and have Tailwind stagger the publishing rather than dumping the same Pin everywhere simultaneously. support.tailwindapp.com

It also lets you invite teammates to help manage posts. www.tailwindapp.com

I'd structure it like:

• 1–2 admins → account connections/settings
• Content creators → create drafts and fill queues
• Reviewer → checks Pins before publication
• Separate Tailwind account/workspace access for the 10 Pinterest profiles as appropriate

2. Buffer — better if permissions are the priority

Buffer is my alternative if your team wants a very straightforward "draft → review → queue → publish" workflow.

Buffer supports multiple Pinterest accounts and lets you select different boards for different profiles. support.buffer.com

More importantly, its team permissions are quite clean: users can have Full Access, Needs Approval, or No Access on individual channels, and admins can customize access per channel. support.buffer.com

So, for example:

Writer → Needs Approval → Pinterest profiles 1–10
Reviewer → Full Access → profiles 1–10
Admin → Full/Admin access

That is a very good fit if your main concern is preventing someone from accidentally publishing to the wrong profile.

3. Sprout Social — only if you need serious governance

Sprout Social has excellent permissions and multi-step approval workflows. You can assign publishing permissions to particular profiles and create workflows with multiple approvers. support.sproutsocial.com

Its Professional plan supports unlimited social profiles, including Pinterest, and custom approval workflows. support.sproutsocial.com

But for a small Pinterest-focused team, I'd consider it more software than you need unless you're also managing Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, clients, reporting, etc.

What I'd actually choose

10 Pinterest profiles + 3–6 people + Pinterest is the primary channel → Tailwind.

10 Pinterest profiles + several people + strict draft/approval permissions → Buffer.

10 profiles + agency/client environment + formal multi-step approvals/reporting → Sprout.

One important distinction: I'd use the scheduling platform for the actual Pin queue, rather than trying to coordinate queues in something like Trello/Asana and then manually transfer everything into Pinterest. Tailwind and Buffer can make the publishing queue itself the team's source of truth. support.tailwindapp.com

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether the 10 Pinterest profiles belong to one company or multiple clients, I can recommend the specific setup (including who should get which permissions).

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d use Pinterest Business Manager + Tailwind rather than trying to make one tool do both permissions and queue management.

My recommended stack

1. Pinterest Business Manager — permissions/access
Use Pinterest’s native Business Manager as the source of truth for who can access each profile. It lets you assign employees/partners and give them Publisher access to specific profiles without sharing passwords. Publisher access covers creating, editing, organizing, and scheduling Pins. help.pinterest.com

2. Tailwind — queues/scheduling
For Pinterest specifically, Tailwind is my first choice. It supports multiple Pinterest accounts in one dashboard, bulk uploads, visual queues, board-level scheduling, SmartSchedule, and interval scheduling. support.tailwindapp.com

It also has team collaborators with individual logins. A Viewer can create drafts that require an Admin's approval before publishing, while Admins have full scheduling/settings access. support.tailwindapp.com

How I'd structure the 10 accounts

That gives you least-privilege access in Pinterest while keeping the actual content workflow in Tailwind.

Why I wouldn't rely on Tailwind alone

There's an important distinction: Tailwind's collaborator permissions aren't as granular as Pinterest Business Manager's. Tailwind says collaborators can see all additional brands/accounts connected to that Tailwind account, and its Admin role has broad settings/billing privileges. support.tailwindapp.com

So if you're managing 10 profiles for different clients/brands, I'd definitely keep account ownership and permissions in Pinterest Business Manager and use Tailwind as the operational scheduling layer.

One workflow I'd recommend

Content creator → Tailwind draft → QA/approval → scheduled queue → Pinterest

For each profile, maintain:

• a separate queue
• predefined board lists
• a standard posting cadence
• a naming convention for campaigns/content
• one person responsible for final approval

Tailwind's current Pinterest workflow also supports bulk scheduling and interval distribution, which is useful when one creative needs to go to several relevant boards without publishing everywhere simultaneously. support.tailwindapp.com

Bottom line: For 10 Pinterest profiles, I'd choose Pinterest Business Manager + Tailwind. If the team is primarily Pinterest-focused, Tailwind is a better fit than a generic social-media scheduler.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether the 10 profiles belong to one company or 10 clients, I can recommend the exact permission/queue setup and the most economical Tailwind plan.

For a small team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, I’d avoid using a general social scheduler alone. You’ll want three things:

1. A shared pin queue/calendar
2. Team permissions without sharing passwords
3. A workflow for approvals (draft → review → scheduled → published)

My shortlist:

My recommendation for your setup

If Pinterest is the core channel:

• Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager
• Create one workspace/process:
  • Content creator → drafts Pins
  • Reviewer → approves copy/design
  • Publisher → manages queues
  • Owner → controls permissions

If you also manage Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn:

• Use Planoly, Buffer, or Later as the central calendar
• Keep Pinterest Business Manager as the permission layer

A simple team workflow

Idea backlog (Notion/Airtable/Trello)
        ↓
Pin design + copy
        ↓
Approval queue
        ↓
Scheduler queue
        ↓
Pinterest analytics review

For only 10 profiles, I would not build a complicated agency stack. A good scheduler plus clean permissions will usually be enough.

If you tell me whether these 10 profiles are 10 brands/clients or 10 accounts for one company, and how many people are on the team, I can narrow it to the best fit.

For 10 Pinterest profiles + a small team, I’d keep the stack fairly simple:

Best fit: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

Tailwind is probably the best Pinterest-first choice if your main problem is building and maintaining pin queues. It supports multiple Pinterest profiles, scheduling, bulk scheduling, and team collaborators. Its current collaborator system gives team members their own logins, with Admin or Viewer access depending on the plan. support.tailwindapp.com

For permissions, I'd use Pinterest's own Business Manager rather than relying on the scheduler to control account access. Pinterest lets you assign employees/partners access to specific profiles and gives them Publisher permissions for organic content without sharing login credentials. help.pinterest.com

Recommended workflow:

Pinterest Business Manager → controls who can access each profile

Tailwind → controls drafts → review → queue → scheduling

Team → creates/edits pins in Tailwind → manager approves → Tailwind publishes

If you need heavier team workflow

If your team needs things like content approval, assignments, client workspaces, calendars, and reporting across many social networks, I'd look at a broader social-media management platform rather than a Pinterest-specific scheduler. Tailwind is stronger when Pinterest itself is the center of the operation; general-purpose tools can be better when Pinterest is one channel among several. Community feedback also tends to distinguish Tailwind's Pinterest-specific scheduling from more generic schedulers. www.reddit.com

One important distinction

Don't give everyone the Pinterest password. Pinterest Business Manager specifically supports employee/partner permissions, and its Publisher role allows people to create, edit, organize, and schedule Pins without sharing credentials. help.pinterest.com

For 10 profiles, I'd personally start with Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager, rather than introducing a separate project-management system unless your approval process is complicated.

If you tell me how many people are on the team and whether each person handles specific profiles or everyone works across all 10, I can recommend the cleanest permission/queue structure.

For a small team managing around 10 Pinterest accounts, I'd optimize for three things:

1. Shared content queues
2. Role-based permissions
3. Simple approval workflows (without enterprise pricing)

Here's how I'd rank the options.

Option 1: Tailwind (my top recommendation)

If Pinterest is your primary platform, Tailwind is built specifically for it.

Advantages:

• Separate queues for each Pinterest profile
• Drag-and-drop calendar
• Bulk scheduling
• Board management
• Smart scheduling based on engagement
• Team collaboration
• Bulk editing
• Interval scheduling to avoid posting the same pin too aggressively across boards support.tailwindapp.com

For 10 accounts, it's significantly easier than using Pinterest directly.

Option 2: Tailwind + Pinterest Business Manager

For permissions, don't share passwords.

Instead:

• Give each Pinterest account its own Business account.
• Invite teammates using Pinterest Business Manager.
• Assign Publisher access to people who need to create and schedule Pins.
• Reserve admin access for only one or two team leads.

Pinterest's Business Manager supports employee and partner roles so teammates can create, edit, organize, and schedule Pins without needing full ownership of the account. help.pinterest.com

Option 3: SocialPilot

If you're essentially operating like a small agency with multiple brands:

• Better client/account separation
• Approval workflows
• Easier permission management
• Reporting
• Handles Pinterest plus other networks well

It isn't as Pinterest-specialized as Tailwind, but it's excellent for team operations.

I'd also add a project management tool

Scheduling software isn't ideal for tracking content production.

A simple workflow in:

• Notion
• ClickUp
• Airtable

works well.

For example:

Idea
↓
Design Ready
↓
SEO Complete
↓
Approved
↓
Queued in Tailwind
↓
Published
↓
Performance Review

Each card can include:

• Pinterest profile
• Board
• Keywords
• Destination URL
• Designer
• Writer
• Scheduled date
• Status

My recommended stack for a team of 3–8 people managing 10 Pinterest profiles

• Tailwind for scheduling and queues
• Pinterest Business Manager for permissions and access control
• Notion or ClickUp for production workflow
• Canva Teams for shared Pin templates and brand assets (if you're designing graphics collaboratively)

This setup scales comfortably to 10–30 Pinterest profiles without becoming overly complex or requiring enterprise-level software.

For a small team managing around 10 Pinterest profiles, I'd optimize for three things:

• Centralized scheduling and queue management
• Role-based permissions (without sharing passwords)
• A workflow for content review and approvals

Here's what I'd recommend.

Option 1: Tailwind (my top recommendation)

If Pinterest is your primary channel, Tailwind is still the strongest specialized tool.

Advantages:

• Separate queues for each Pinterest account
• Smart scheduling based on audience activity
• Bulk scheduling
• Multiple boards per Pin
• Team collaboration
• Pinterest-focused analytics
• Uses Pinterest's official API for publishing support.tailwindapp.comhelp.pinterest.com

A setup for 10 profiles could look like:

• Workspace
  • Account A
  • Account B
  • …
  • Account J

Then assign:

• Designer → create drafts
• Content manager → edit
• Publisher → approve and schedule

Option 2: Buffer (best value)

If you're a 2–5 person team and don't need advanced Pinterest optimization:

Pros

• Clean interface
• Shared content calendar
• Basic approvals
• Easy permissions
• Lower cost than enterprise tools

Cons

• Doesn't have Pinterest-specific scheduling intelligence like Tailwind. blog.hootsuite.com

Option 3: Hootsuite

Choose this only if Pinterest is one of many channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, etc.).

It's excellent for:

• Multiple brands
• Team permissions
• Approval workflows
• Reporting

But Pinterest isn't its main strength, so you pay for many features you may not use. www.hootsuite.com

Permissions

Don't share Pinterest passwords.

Instead:

• Convert every profile to a Pinterest Business account.
• Use Pinterest Business Manager to invite each team member with appropriate roles (Owner, Manager, Employee, or Partner).
• Connect each account to your scheduler using OAuth rather than shared credentials. help.pinterest.com

Recommended workflow

For a team of 3–6 people:

• Notion or Airtable for editorial planning
• Canva Pro for Pin templates
• Tailwind for queues and publishing
• Pinterest Business Manager for access control

Typical workflow:

1. Writer adds content to Notion.
2. Designer creates Pins in Canva.
3. Pins are uploaded to Tailwind.
4. Editor reviews and approves.
5. Tailwind automatically publishes to the correct account and board queues.
6. Weekly analytics are reviewed.

This setup scales comfortably from 10 to 30+ Pinterest accounts without becoming difficult to manage.

If your team is an agency managing client Pinterest accounts, I can also recommend an agency-oriented stack with client workspaces, approval flows, and reporting.

For a small team managing around 10 Pinterest profiles, I'd prioritize team permissions, queue visibility, and Pinterest-specific scheduling over having dozens of social networks.

Here's how I'd rank the options:

Option 1: Tailwind (my top recommendation)

If Pinterest is your primary marketing channel, Tailwind is still the most specialized tool.

It offers:

• Shared publishing queues
• Account switching between multiple Pinterest profiles
• Board management
• Smart scheduling based on engagement
• Interval scheduling to avoid posting the same Pin to multiple boards simultaneously
• Bulk scheduling and queue management
• Pinterest-focused analytics support.tailwindapp.com

For 10 client accounts, your workflow could be:

• One workspace
• Separate queues per Pinterest account
• Weekly content approval
• Team members assigned specific client accounts
• One person acts as final publisher

Option 2: Buffer

If your team also manages Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or X, Buffer becomes attractive because:

• cleaner collaboration
• approval workflows
• shared content calendar
• role-based permissions
• easier onboarding

Pinterest support is solid, but not nearly as deep as Tailwind's Pinterest-specific scheduling. www.reddit.com

Don't rely on Pinterest alone

Pinterest's native scheduler is useful but limited:

• schedules only up to 10 Pins
• only 30 days ahead
• lacks team workflows
• no shared content calendar
• minimal collaboration features create.pinterest.com

Permissions

Instead of sharing passwords, use Pinterest Business Manager.

Pinterest lets you assign different roles (such as Publisher) so team members can create, edit, organize, and schedule Pins without everyone having full account ownership. help.pinterest.com

A typical setup is:

• Owner/Admin: 1–2 people
• Publishers: content creators and schedulers
• Analysts (if needed): reporting-only access

A workflow that scales well

For a team of 3–8 people managing 10 Pinterest profiles:

• Pinterest Business Manager for access control and permissions
• Tailwind for scheduling and queue management
• Notion, Airtable, or ClickUp for content planning, briefs, and approvals
• Canva Teams for shared Pin templates and brand assets

This combination separates planning, design, publishing, and permissions, making it much easier to onboard new team members and manage multiple client accounts without sharing credentials.

For a small team managing around 10 Pinterest business profiles, I'd prioritize three things:

• Separate permissions for each team member
• A reliable queue/calendar for Pins
• A simple approval workflow (if more than one person creates content)

Here's how I'd rank the options.

Option 1: Tailwind (my top recommendation)

If Pinterest is your primary platform, Tailwind is still the most specialized solution. It offers:

• Shared content calendar
• Pin queue management
• Multiple Pinterest account support
• Smart scheduling based on audience activity
• Bulk scheduling
• Multi-board publishing
• Team collaboration features

Tailwind is built specifically around Pinterest's publishing workflow rather than treating Pinterest as "just another social network." support.tailwindapp.comwww.techradar.com

Good fit if:

• Pinterest drives significant traffic.
• Most of your social work is Pinterest.

Option 2: Buffer

If your workflow is straightforward and budget matters, Buffer is an excellent choice.

Pros:

• Easy to learn
• Team members can have different permissions
• Content queue
• Approval workflow on team plans
• Works well if you also manage LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

The tradeoff is that Pinterest features are more basic than Tailwind's. support.tailwindapp.comwww.techradar.com

Option 3: Hootsuite

Hootsuite shines if you're managing many social networks in addition to Pinterest.

Advantages:

• Robust user roles and permissions
• Approval workflows
• Advanced analytics
• Enterprise-grade collaboration

For only 10 Pinterest accounts, though, it may be more expensive and feature-rich than you need. www.hootsuite.com

Recommended workflow for 10 Pinterest profiles

I'd separate responsibilities like this:

• Tailwind → scheduling, queues, publishing
• Google Drive or Dropbox → image assets
• Airtable, Notion, or Trello → content planning, keywords, status tracking

Example pipeline:

1. Designer uploads graphics.
2. Copywriter adds titles, descriptions, and links.
3. Manager reviews.
4. Tailwind queues Pins for each Pinterest profile.
5. Weekly review of analytics and queue health.

This keeps everyone working from a single source of truth while minimizing accidental publishing to the wrong account.

If I were setting this up today

• Pinterest-only agency or VA team: Tailwind
• Pinterest plus several other social platforms: Buffer
• Need formal approvals with multiple stakeholders: Planable + Tailwind
• Large marketing department with complex governance: Hootsuite

If you tell me:

• how many people are on the team,
• whether they work on client accounts or your own brands,
• and whether you're also managing Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn,

I can recommend the most cost-effective setup and suggest how to structure permissions and queues.

For a small team (3–10 people) managing around 10 Pinterest profiles, I'd optimize for three things:

1. A shared publishing queue.
2. Role-based permissions (so not everyone has full account access).
3. A simple approval workflow.

Here's what I'd recommend.

Option 1: Tailwind (my top recommendation)

If Pinterest is your primary channel, Tailwind is still the most specialized solution. It offers:

• Separate queues for each Pinterest account
• Bulk scheduling
• Smart posting times
• Board management
• Team collaboration
• Interval scheduling (avoids posting the same Pin to multiple boards simultaneously) support.tailwindapp.com

For 10 Pinterest profiles, it keeps everything in one dashboard instead of logging into each account individually.

Option 2: Buffer

If you're also managing Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or X alongside Pinterest, Buffer is an excellent choice.

Advantages:

• Clean approval workflow
• Team roles
• Drafts and approvals
• Shared content calendar
• Good permissions management

Its Pinterest support is solid but doesn't include as many Pinterest-specific optimization features as Tailwind. create.pinterest.com

Don't forget Pinterest Business Manager

Even if you use a scheduler, you should organize account access through Pinterest's own Business Manager.

It lets you assign roles such as:

• Owner
• Manager
• Employee
• Partner

You can grant publishing rights without giving everyone full administrative control over the accounts. help.pinterest.com

Recommended workflow for 10 profiles

I'd set it up like this:

• Pinterest Business Manager → controls permissions and account access.
• Tailwind → schedules and queues all Pins.
• Notion or Airtable → editorial calendar, content status, and assignment tracking.
• Canva Teams → shared Pin templates and brand assets.

Example workflow:

1. Designer creates Pins in Canva.
2. Writer adds titles, descriptions, and URLs in Notion.
3. Reviewer approves.
4. Scheduler imports into Tailwind.
5. Tailwind publishes automatically to the appropriate profile and boards.

This separates responsibilities without requiring everyone to have full Pinterest access.

My recommendation

• Pinterest-focused business: Pinterest Business Manager + Tailwind + Notion.
• Agency handling many social networks: Pinterest Business Manager + Buffer + Notion.

For a team managing 10 Pinterest profiles, the first setup usually provides the best balance of efficiency, permissions, and Pinterest-specific scheduling capabilities.
