- 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.
