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. OneUp fits power users publishing to many networks at once better, and it reaches Facebook and Instagram among others, which Threads scheduling doesn't.
OneUp starts at $15 a month, billed yearly, and Threads scheduling is free, with no paid plan. OneUp adds evergreen recycling and bulk upload that Threads scheduling leaves out.
