New Pinterest Clone - June 2012

Pinterestclone.org has a pinterest clone that appears to have a few new features that other clones don't have.
According to their website and live demo their clone offers fully monetized photos and social sharing to make them go viral.
Also they offer several color choices.
Additionally their product listing states that the clone can be resold and resused on unlimited sites. Its based on open GNU scripting.
This is the first non restrictive terms of service we've seen for clones.
The price range starts AT 199.99
The clone design itself is pretty and works well. (It wordpress based)
It also has a lot of interesting features that arent even on Pinterest.com yet!
Such as video enabled personal blogs and in ad image advertising.
We emailed the site for entry to the Admin area. We received a 24 hour log in pass. It's a simple back end to use, not harder than learning cpanel.

Over all this clone is the best overall value.

                                                         

Drupal Pinterest Clone



Themesnap has a drupal clone but their licensing seems very muddy.
The program costs 229 dollars and they have built it on Drupal a totally open license from gnu/gpl and then their code is based on the open license , totally free skeleton CSS.
Oddly enough they claim limited rights for purchasers to reuse the program on more than one personal and one business site.
This strikes us as odd because they bundle all software together and that should cover it under the gpl.
Even without covering it under the GPL, their CSS is based on skeleton free framework.
Which means anyone can easily edit the code and make their own.

Plus the design is cloddish compared to the ease of use of wordpress or other php designs in our humble opinions.

Pintastic was just unveiled yesterday.

This script sells for a hefty 559 dollars.

The company states that the site comes with millions of photos and users accounts.

This may be one reason they're trying to justify such a high price.

Upon viewing the demo site, we rubbed out eyes a bit as it appeared we were seeing some very like Apptha's Joomla Pinterest Clone.

But we were viewing the Pintastic Pinterest Clone.

We checked out the admin panel and were impressed by the vast amount of dummy user accounts.

But less so when we noticed that the avatars seem to be of actual pinterest.com users and to top it off the pixels are jagged. This doesn't seem that professional.

Still pintastic might be good for anyone who wants to spend over 550 for many pre loaded images and imaginary users.
