You will get all the boards out of the pallet without any expensive tools and without cracking and splintering the boards, and you can reuse the upcycled wood for your projects immediately. Soak the pallet with a sprinkler for 45 -60 minutes, use a long pry bar the board separate without splitting.I use a pallet (black one shown above actually) but I rest many more boards near the nails than I care to brake.
