MeetEdgar vs Threads scheduling
Last updated 4 June 2026

MeetEdgar more or less invented category-based evergreen recycling: you sort posts into buckets, set a weekly schedule, and it reshares from those buckets forever so the queue never empties. It's a focused tool with two flat plans, no free tier, and a 30-day trial.

Threads scheduling, as a native capability, is still thin. Meta has been adding a basic schedule option in the app and opened a Threads API so third-party tools can queue posts, but there's no full-featured native scheduler, so most people schedule Threads through a cross-network tool.

Threads scheduling
Free
Free
- Seats

- Accounts

- Free, within the Threads app and via the Threads API
- A basic native scheduling option, rolling out and limited
- Third-party schedulers can publish to Threads through the API
- There's no product to buy here. Threads itself has been adding a basic native scheduling option in the app, and Meta's Threads API lets approved third-party tools (Buffer, Hootsuite, and others) publish to Threads on a schedule.
- The Threads API has no true scheduled-publish field, so third-party tools hold the post and publish it at the chosen time rather than handing Threads a future timestamp.
- Native scheduling availability is uneven and rolling out, which is why most people schedule Threads through a dedicated cross-network tool instead.
