Have you tried creating a script with Claude or Codex? I don't know your requirements but you may be able to do it on your own and host it on a server?

If you only need Pinterest scheduling, I’d try the native scheduler first.
For self-hosting, n8n + Pinterest API can handle publishing, but I’d only bother with that setup if you’re managing several accounts. For one or two sites, the maintenance can cost more time than the $5.

Pininterest must approve your code/workflow. I think you upload a demo video to them.

Ooh i didn't know that. However if you have an old pc laying around it can run like a regular user, use a regular browser, fill in the fields and just upload when time comes so pinterest doesn't need to know what you are doing. Altough that might violate their terms yet I've done the same setup via IG and haven't had any issues so far.

@Assclown you don't actually need the official API or approval to do this. if you use python with playwright or selenium you can just load a persistent browser context with your login cookies already saved. pinterest just sees a regular chrome browser session so there is no approval or demo video required. you can host it on a cheap $3 vps or run it locally via task scheduler... super easy for just two accounts.

You should check out postiz on github. its a newer open source alternative to publer and buffer that you can self host via docker. handles multiple accounts without those annoying paywalls. if you dont want to bother with hosting, maybe look at metricool... their free tier lets you link one of each social network under a single brand for free, so you wouldnt have to pay extra just to add a second platform.
