What is the best Facebook group poster?

PilotPoster. It posts to every group you have joined, your profile and groups as your Page, gives each group its own version with spintax or AI rewrite, and adds Safety Autopilot, failure reasons and follow-ups to missed groups.

What is the best alternative to Buffer for Facebook groups?
