Boards and pins

The objects everything else is built on. A pin is one image, video or product; a board is a named collection of them; and a save is one member taking another member's pin onto a board of their own. Follows, likes and reactions are how those three get seen.

  • Boards Free

    A named collection a member owns. Pins go into it, and it can be public, private or shared.

  • Pins Free

    One image, video or product with a title, a link and an author. The unit everything else is built on.

  • Saves Free

    Copying someone else's pin onto your own board. The action the whole site turns on.

  • Follows Free

    Following a member puts their new pins in your feed without you going looking.

  • Likes Free

    A one-tap signal. It feeds the ranking as well as the counter.

  • Six reactions Pro

    More than a like: six responses, each weighted differently in the ranking.

  • Collaborative boards Pro

    Two people editing one board, both able to add and remove pins.

  • Secret boards Pro

    A board only its owner and invited collaborators can see.

  • Topics Free

    Categories that pins belong to. They drive the tabs, the topic pages and the affinity score.

  • Search Free

    Full text across pin titles, descriptions and board names, with topic filters.

  • Visual search Pro

    Search by image: upload a photo and get the pins that look like it, matched on your own server.

  • Skin-tone search Pro

    Narrow beauty and fashion results to a skin-tone range, computed locally, nothing sent out.

  • Member profiles Free

    A public page per member showing their boards, their pins and their followers.

Feed and ranking

What a member sees when they open the site, and why they see it in that order. The feed is scored rather than sorted, so a good pin from Tuesday can still be above a dull one from this morning, and nothing holds the top of the page for a year.

  • Ranked feed Pro

    The feed ordered by score rather than by date, recomputed every hour.

  • Seven day freshness half life Pro

    A pin's score halves each week, so the top of the feed has to be re-earned.

  • Topic affinity per member Pro

    What someone saves teaches the feed which topics to weight for them.

  • Diversity ceiling Pro

    No more than three pins in eight may come from one topic, however well they score.

  • Already-seen penalty Pro

    A pin you have scrolled past is worth a quarter as much the next time round.

  • Hourly recompute Pro

    Scores are refreshed on the hour, so the feed moves without anyone touching it.

  • Cloud collaborative ranking Pro

    Signals shared across the network sharpen the order. Only anonymous counts leave your server.

  • Pin analytics Pro

    Views, saves and outbound clicks per pin, plus your trending pins and most active members.

  • Local fallback feed Free

    If the cloud is unreachable the site drops to its own feed and says nothing.

Media pipeline

What happens to a photograph between the upload button and a visitor's screen. Nobody ever downloads the file your member took straight off their camera: it is converted, cut to several widths, and handed out at the size the device asked for.

  • WebP on upload Free

    Every image is converted as it lands, so the originals never reach a visitor.

  • AVIF on upload Pro

    A second modern format alongside WebP, smaller again where the browser takes it.

  • Responsive size ladder Free

    Several widths per image, so a phone downloads a phone-sized file.

  • Watermarking Pro

    Your mark applied to images on upload, at a position and opacity you choose.

  • MP4 video pins Pro

    Video pins with a poster frame, playing inline in the grid.

  • S3 offload Pro

    Media served from your own bucket instead of your web host's disk.

  • Lazy loading Free

    Images below the fold wait until they are nearly in view before they load.

  • AI auto-tagging Pro

    Each image is read on upload and tagged from your own topic list, and missing alt text is written for you. Uses your API key, never ours.

6 features Pro only

Notifications

How somebody who left comes back without you buying their attention twice. Web push runs from your own server under your own keys, so no third party sits between you and the people who signed up.

  • Web push Pro

    A browser notification sent from your own server, with no third party in the middle.

  • VAPID keys on your server Pro

    The push signing keys are generated on, and held by, your install.

  • Per-member preferences Pro

    Each member picks which events are worth interrupting them for.

  • Saves and follows Pro

    The two events most worth notifying about, on by default.

  • Replies and messages Pro

    Someone answering you, or writing to you, reaches you straight away.

  • Android and iOS Pro

    Both platforms, from the browser, with no app store submission.

Moderation and safety

Running a site where anyone can post means deciding what stays. These are the tools for that, plus a blocklist that thousands of Pinspire installs keep current between them, so a spammer confirmed on someone else's site never gets a first run at yours.

  • Report queue Free

    Members flag a pin or a person; the flags land in one screen for you to work through.

  • One-click actions Free

    Hide, remove or block straight from the queue, without opening the item first.

  • Two-way blocking Free

    A block hides both people from each other, in the feed, in search and in messages.

  • Shared blocklist Pro

    Patterns confirmed elsewhere arrive on your site before that spammer does.

  • Hash-only exchange Pro

    Only one-way hashes leave your server. No names, no addresses, no content.

  • Daily refresh Pro

    The list is pulled once a day on cron and cached. No page ever waits on it.

  • Two-site confirmation Pro

    Nothing is blocked until two independent installs have seen the same thing.

7 features Pro only

Monetisation

Seven ways to earn from the grid you are already running. None of them needs a second plugin, none of them takes a share, and all seven are switched on by the same licence.

  • Affiliate rewriting Pro

    Outbound links rewritten to carry your affiliate tag automatically.

  • Click reports Pro

    Which pins earned outbound clicks, over which period, from which member.

  • Ad slots in the grid Pro

    Placements between pins in the masonry, at an interval you set.

  • Ad slots on pins Pro

    Placements on the pin page itself, above or below the description.

  • Google Ads and AdSense Pro

    Paste the ad code once; the slots take any network, Google included.

  • WooCommerce product pins Pro

    A product becomes a pin, with its price, its variations and its Add to cart.

  • Promoted pins Pro

    Pins you pay to lift, marked as promoted and capped so they cannot own the page.

5 features Pro only

The app

Members add the site to their home screen and it opens like an app: full screen, its own icon, and the last feed still readable when the signal drops. No store, no review queue, no separate build for you to keep alive.

  • Installable app Pro

    Members add the site to their home screen and it opens without browser furniture.

  • Offline shell Pro

    The last feed and the interface stay readable when the connection drops.

  • Home screen icon Pro

    Your mark and your name on the home screen, like any other app.

  • Push inside the app Pro

    Notifications reach the installed app, not just the browser tab.

  • No app store needed Pro

    No review queue, no developer account, no separate build to maintain.

3 features Pro only

Messaging

Private conversation between two members, held to exactly the same blocking and reporting rules as everything else on the site. One inbox, one report queue.

  • One-to-one threads Pro

    Private conversations between two members, kept in the member's inbox.

  • Same blocking rules Pro

    A blocked member cannot start a thread or appear in one.

  • One report queue Pro

    Messages, pins and members all report into the same screen.

7 features all free

Under the bonnet

The parts you only notice when they are wrong. Posts, terms and users underneath, so every export tool, cache plugin and SEO plugin you already trust keeps working, and nothing is obfuscated if you want to read it.

  • Standard WordPress data model Free

    Posts, terms and users. Any WordPress plugin or export tool can read it.

  • WP REST API Free

    Every object is exposed on the standard REST routes, so you can build against it.

  • WP Cron Free

    Scheduled work runs on the WordPress scheduler you already have. No extra daemon.

  • Any cache plugin Free

    Works behind any full-page cache, because nothing on the render path is dynamic.

  • Any SEO plugin Free

    Titles, meta and sitemaps stay with whichever SEO plugin you already run.

  • Open source code Free

    Nothing obfuscated and nothing encoded. Read it, change it, ship it to a client.

  • PHP 8.0 and up Free

    Written for modern PHP, and tested on every release since 8.0.

Pricing

Every feature in every paid plan

The tiers count sites and nothing else. A one-site licence gets exactly the same ranking engine as an agency licence.
