- $7.5 /mo

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.

Bottom line
RecurPost and Threads scheduling both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post. RecurPost is the stronger pick for Solos and small businesses who want evergreen recycling cheaply; choose Threads scheduling for Anyone who just wants to queue the occasional Threads post in-app.

Threads scheduling
Free

- 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.
