Juxtapost

Of all the sites like Pinterest we’ll be discussing, Juxtapost is probably the biggest competition. It certainly is the largest platform and shares all the similar features with Pinterest. You can create categories and share them with specific people, collaborate on categories with other users and do all the same things like on Pinterest. Here’s what Juxtapost has that Pinterest doesn’t: there is a special tab, ‘More Like This’, which allows you to see posts similar to the ones you’ve been viewing. You can do this without leaving the page you’re on. The winning feature of this website is that you can save your bookmarked content similar to Pinterest art as a spreadsheet document. You never know, it might be useful.

weheartit.com

At first glance, We Heart It clearly has a different demographic as the target audience. Unlike Pinterest, the website gives you a more basic experience in how you like and discover new users. You can also ‘love’ different art images which is fun. Although this Pinterest alternative lacks the pinning aspect and you don’t have boards, it’s still a way to gather your inspiration in one place. There is an additional feature you can install, the ‘Heart Button’ that will help you submit images you find online to your feed.

Dribbble

Dribbble prides themselves in being the ‘show and tell for designers’. It is a website that brings together creatives from different industries including all types of Pinterest artists, such as digital artists, illustrators, and graphic designers. Dribbble is a great platform to share your work with other creatives regardless of what field of design you’re working in. If you think your work is worth sharing, you can showcase it here and have an impressive audience be your judge. You can filter content by projects, colors, and tags as well as search for designers by location and skills. So why is it mentioned among Pinterest alternatives? Although it’s more specialized, it does transcend Pinterest in terms of design inspiration in particular.

Gentlemint is a community that has a more masculine aesthetic and a little bit of good old fashioned humor. The target audience makes this one popular with the gents, so if you are looking for another creative outlet, here’s your chance.

Dudepins

You’ve probably been waiting since paragraph 2 to get to this one! Yes, you get to literally ‘discover everything that’s manly’. Dudepins is one of the most popular Pinterest alternatives for men. Unlike the other ‘manly’ Pinterest alternatives, this one is more sophisticated and classy. It’s not full of stereotypical topics and memes but rather a community of likeminded individuals that think Pinterest is slightly, well…not so manly.
