So, if you are looking for a Pinterest like experience for a particular genre, there are some good enough options to choose from. So, without any further ado here are the 12 best sites and apps like Pinterest you should try in 2020.
The websites mentioned below are in no particular order so kindly read the description to decide which is best for you.
While Pinterest is not really aimed at teenagers, We Heart It certainly is! From the moment you visit the homepage, you’ll notice that it’s indeed aimed at young and college-going ladies. Unlike Pinterest, We Heart It boasts a more basic, yet modern experience, where you can discover and follow people and ‘love’ pictures shared by others. While it lacks the pinning or boards features from Pinterest, it makes it up with collections, an easy to use layout, and a great community of mostly young women.
2. DudePins
Right off the bat, DudePins lets you know that it is Pinterest for men. As the homepage of the site quips, “Discover everything that’s manly.” It may not don an appealing design but it’s still clean and simple to use with an abundance of content to attract men. If you are looking for another Pinterest alternative for men, the other option is Gentlemint. What sets DudePins apart from Gentlemint is its more mature and classy content. If you are looking for some seriously good content aimed at men, you should consider joining DudePins.
PearlTrees is very similar to Pinterest but instead of the board & pin concept, it uses a pearls & trees concept. It lets you explore and share different types of content. Once you start sharing content on the platform, you will come across similar “trees”. There are also various different trees you can follow and add your valuable pearls to it. One qualm we have with PearlTrees is its archaic user interface, which is functional but looks dated. Other than that, PearlTrees is a more streamlined alternative to Pinterest.
While PearlTrees is available to use for free, you can also get a premium plan starting at $2.99/month, which bring features like offline mode, more storage, customization features and no ads.
5. FoodGawker
Availability: Web
Like Pinterest, Mix is a personalized discovery platform where you can discover fun and interesting things. From food recipes to philosophy to art, you can find everything here. The website features curated posts, so you don’t have to waste time looking through trash to find gems. It automatically does that for you. You can browse the entire catalog or choose to browse only select categories. What makes it stand out from other websites like Pinterest is that you don’t get only photos here.
Availability: Web; Android, iOS (Apps); Firefox, Chrome, Safari (Browser extensions)
Mamby is a fairly new social media platform, and it can easily replace Pinterest for you. It brings most of the features that Pinterest has to offer. It also offers a pleasant user interface. I love its card-based design. Finding trending content is easy thanks to the Trending Boards card that the website displays on the home page. Another thing that I like about this website is that it doesn’t force me to log in to browse the content. You don’t have to create an account unless you want to.
If you are looking for home decoration ideas, check out VisualizeUs. It features a similar interface to Pinterest and allows you to save and share images from the internet. What makes it different is that the images shared here are mostly about furniture and interior design. Pictures show how furniture looks in the natural home environment, so you get a better idea of the product. If you are looking for a new study table or a couch, this is a good website to start your research.
