Head to head
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.
- From
- $24.91 /mo
- Free plan
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.
- From
- Custom
- Free plan
Bottom line
Threads scheduling is the pick for anyone who just wants to queue the occasional Threads post in-app, and it's the only one of the two with a free plan. MeetEdgar fits creators and small businesses with a backlog of evergreen content better, and it's the cheaper start, from $24.91 a month.
MeetEdgar publishes a price, from $24.91 a month; Threads scheduling is quote-only. MeetEdgar adds evergreen recycling and bulk upload that Threads scheduling leaves out.

Threads scheduling
Free
- Seats
- 1
- Accounts
- 1
- 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.
