Pinclicks - don't bother

pixelperfect

Honestly, I gave Pinclicks a solid go - six months of proper effort. The data is stale and sparse because they scrape it, which also violates their terms of service. That alone could get your account suspended. I stuck with it anyway, hoping the traffic would improve. But the software glitches constantly. Every time I reached out to customer support, I got bizarre replies that made no sense - completely off-topic or just incoherent. It was infuriating. I eventually contacted Tony, who brushed it off without even acknowledging the issues. After seeing more of that 'support' person's nonsense in their Facebook group, I lost any faith I had left. Cancelled and will never touch it again. Tony seems like a decent bloke, but I cannot recommend this software in any way. Not worth the risk or the headache.

I gave Pinclicks a proper six‑month trial and honestly? Not a fan at all.

The software glitched constantly. Reached out to their support person for various issues and got the weirdest replies - things completely unrelated to what I'd asked, or just plain nonsense. SO frustrating.

Eventually contacted Tony directly, but he brushed it off. Really disappointing that they wouldn't even acknowledge the problems.

Got to the point where I'd see that same support person's responses in their community group and just feel annoyed at the incompetence. Any hope I had that the tool would work for me was gone, so I cancelled and won't be back. Tony seems like a decent bloke, and I genuinely hope he does well, but I can't recommend this software in any way.

I've tried those scraping tools myself and honestly, they never delivered the sustainable traffic we really need. The data feels stale and sparse, and the TOS risk just isn't worth the potential hit to your account. Stick with the badged partner apps - they align with Pinterest's vision and keep your whole team safe.

Honestly, I've looked into Pinclicks for a couple of clients and the main things they'll slap you for are anything that looks like bot traffic, paid clicks from dodgy sources, or using redirect loops to pump numbers. They're pretty aggressive about it too - I've seen accounts nuked over far less. Not worth the headache if you ask me.

I've been down this road myself, and the real secret isn't in scraping tools like Pinclicks - it's working with Pinterest's official partner apps. Those non-partner platforms are basically taking data without permission, which can mess with your analytics and even put your account at risk.

Pinterest publishes a full list of approved partners, and they're the only way to get clean, direct API access. For keyword and SEO insights, Tailwind is the big one I trust, but there are others on that list worth exploring.

Going with a partner means the data is accurate, safe, and supported. Our team saw a much steadier traffic lift once we switched - no more guessing, just real insights that help the whole strategy.
