Head to head
Loomly vs Threads scheduling
Last updated 4 June 2026
Loomly walks you through making a post: a calendar of suggested ideas, optimization tips per network, and a mockup that shows how the post will look on each one before it goes through an approval round. It charges flat, quota-bundled tiers with no free plan, just a 15-day trial, and the jump from the $65 Starter to the $332 Beyond is steep.

Threads offers free native scheduling, announced in January 2025. Prepare standalone posts in the composer and manage scheduled work in Drafts. Chains, replies and other actions need their own scheduling checks.

Bottom line
Threads scheduling is the pick for one person scheduling standalone posts for one Threads account, and it's the only one of the two with a free scheduling plan. Loomly fits teams and agencies that need approval rounds and client sign-off better, and it reaches Facebook and Instagram among others, which Threads scheduling doesn't.
Loomly starts at $49 a month, billed yearly, and Threads scheduling is free, with no paid plan. Loomly adds bulk upload and advanced reports that Threads scheduling leaves out.

- Everything in Beyond, plus priority support and pricing at scale
- Flat, quota-bundled tiers: each plan includes a fixed number of social accounts and users, and you move up a plan rather than buying accounts or seats one at a time. Loomly dropped its old four-tier lineup (Base, Standard, Advanced, Premium) for two paid plans plus Enterprise.
- There is no free plan, only a 15-day free trial of the top features, no card required.
- Annual billing is a flat 25% off: Starter works out to $49 a month ($588/yr) and Beyond to $249 ($2,988/yr).
- The gap between Starter and Beyond is the main gripe: if you outgrow 12 accounts or 3 users there is no mid-tier and no a-la-carte top-up, so the next step is $332 a month.
- Nonprofits get a 50% lifetime discount with documentation.
