Playbook: A/B testing two Threads hooks the cheap way

No Threads tool has native A/B testing, so I built one manually in Publer. Tested on a real account for 16 days.

— Write two hooks for the same core post. Change ONLY the first line; keep the body identical.
— Schedule version A this week, version B same weekday and slot next week. Same-day double-posting splits your own audience.
— Log views at the 3-hour mark, not 24h. Early velocity is what the feed reacts to.
— Run it three times before believing a winner. One round is noise.
— Keep a sheet: hook text, slot, 3h views, final views. The tool won't remember this for you.

Publer's standout is identical-time scheduling across weeks for clean comparison. 12 USD/mo. Annoying limit: no built-in variant tracking means manual logging every time.

Verdict: Worth it as a manual habit; Wait if you expect a one-click feature.
