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. RecurPost fits businesses maintaining reusable content libraries better, and it reaches Facebook and Instagram among others, which Threads scheduling doesn't.
RecurPost starts at $7.50 a month, billed yearly, and Threads scheduling is free, with no paid plan. RecurPost adds evergreen recycling and bulk upload that Threads scheduling leaves out.
