What is Viraltag?
Viraltag is a social media tool centred on visual content. It is often used by bloggers and online shops to plan Pinterest and Instagram posts, keep images in a library and schedule them. It also offers ways to repeat evergreen content.
So it is a visual planning and publishing tool. It helps you organise and send what you have made. Pin Magic helps you make it. The two sit at different steps of the same chain, which is why they are easy to combine.
Where each tool is strong
Viraltag is strong at
- A visual way to plan and organise pins and images before they go out.
- A media library that keeps your images in one place.
- Support for repeating evergreen content over time.
- A focus on Pinterest and Instagram, which suits many bloggers and shops.
Pin Magic is strong at
- Paste a post link in Studio and get 10+ pins built on 100+ templates in minutes.
- Your own photos, colours and fonts, exported at 1000 x 1500 PNG.
- The Extension makes blog images with Flow, inserts them into WordPress and adds internal links.
- One flat price, with a lifetime option.
What to keep in mind about Viraltag
Two things to check before you choose.
- Viraltag is strongest once you have images. Check what its design features cover and whether they build full pin sets from a post link.
- Viraltag is a scheduling subscription. Look at how plans and trial terms work on its site before relying on it.
- Pin Magic does not plan, schedule or recycle. You publish the exported PNGs yourself or through a scheduler such as Viraltag.
- Pin Magic does not provide a stock photo library. Bring your own photos or pull images from your posts.
A visual calendar needs visuals
A planner looks great when it is full. Most bloggers hit the opposite problem: the calendar is ready, but the pins are not. Each post needs several designs, and designing them one at a time eats the week.
That is where Pin Magic helps. Paste a post link, pick the strongest of 10+ pins, edit the text and photo, and export. The images then drop straight into a planner like Viraltag. For shops, AI pin design for ecommerce shows how product pages become pin sets. For bloggers, see AI pin generator for bloggers.
Pricing
Pin Magic: the Studio + Extension bundle is $10/month or $70/year, and the Extension alone is $5/month or $35/year. A one-time lifetime deal for the bundle costs $100. See pricing and the lifetime deal for live prices.
Viraltag: it sells subscription plans, and trial terms change. Check the Viraltag site for current plans. Adding Pin Magic does not require you to switch.
Which one should you choose?
Choose Pin Magic if
- You need more pins per post and design is your bottleneck.
- You want blog images and internal links handled in WordPress.
- You prefer a low flat price or one payment.
- You already have a way to publish.
Choose Viraltag if
- You want a visual calendar and media library for Pinterest and Instagram.
- You want to repeat evergreen content on a schedule.
- You prefer to plan weeks of content in one view.
Use both if
- You want fast creation and tidy planning. Make the pins in Pin Magic, then plan and schedule them in Viraltag.
