You can do it directly with wordpress you don't need any plugins.
I know, but 1400 draft manually it's a big work.
I need to automatize it, I have many websites and there are tons of posts.

You want it to be free and do a lot of stuff there is no such plugin....maybe IFTTT.
And, payable, anything good? I found good one but cost a lot for only one website.
btw I will check IFTTT!

There's no ready plugin that can do that as far as I'm concerned,Not working, just tried
Usually, they should be set to schedule from the start,
I can think of turnarounds like exporting the posts, then importing them via WP All Import, you can use "Automatic Scheduling" from there,
Or you can create a small Python script that would use WP API (or MySQL), connect to the database & publish the post(s), along with Cron job,
You can use WP-Automatic for this as well, basically by creating a live version of the posts (subdomain) & import the posts every X hour/day,
If you can code (or hire someone to do it), the work should be much easier to do,
I'm pretty sure that won't take much work, that would be better if you have plenty of websites that you need that specific code/plugin for
Auto Post Scheduler might be the most efficient as it automates the process completely.

You can use the WP API to edit post entries
https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts/#update-a-post
I believe if you set the status to 'future' and then the date and time to a future date that'll do it. All you need is to script an API call that sets those, then pull together your list of post ids, pair each with a datetime, and send the calls. For 1400 I'd do it in batches.
If you don't have the post ids already you can also use the api to get those (and check that the article is in draft status).

If you find the plugin you are interested in, you can post it in this forum and I can check if I have access to it.

However RoiBox's suggestion seems to be what you are looking for.

You can try the "SchedulePress" plugin for scheduling posts in WordPress. It’s free and can handle multiple drafts.

WP Scheduled Posts could help you with this!

WP All Import allows you to bulk import posts, pages and more through CSV files. You can create a CSV file containing your draft posts and their schedule details and then bulk import
