All 60 features, written out
The whole list with an explanation on every line, so you can tell what you are buying before you buy it. Twenty two are in the free version on WordPress.org. The other thirty eight come with any paid plan, and every paid plan gets all of them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
