Pinnatta offers a library of more than 500 messages and reported over 130,000 installs, with a target of 500,000 installs by the end of the year. Its monetization includes paid premium Pinnattas ($0.99–$2.99), a $4.99/month unlimited plan, and sponsored branded Pinnattas. The company operates development offices in Athens and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.
