Can Post Planner post to Facebook groups?
No, not automatically. As of October 2026, Post Planner's Facebook features page says Facebook discontinued apps posting to groups in April 2024. PilotPoster posts to every group you have joined from your own browser, with spintax or AI rewrite so each group gets its own version.
How does Post Planner handle Facebook groups?
Post Planner relies on Meta's API, which removed group publishing on April 22, 2024. See Post Planner Facebook features. PilotPoster posts organically from your own account, one group at a time, so your groups still hear from you every week.
What does PilotPoster do that Post Planner can't?
- Posts for you to every group you've joined as a member, plus your profile and groups as your Page
- Gives each group its own wording with spintax or AI rewrite
- Adds your link as the first comment, so the post itself stays clean
- Plain-language logs show every group a post reached, and follow-ups reach only the groups that missed
- Group intelligence and outcome tracking show which groups bring clicks and customers
- Safety Autopilot paces campaigns, sets posting limits and pauses groups that keep failing
How much does each one cost?
PilotPoster Pro is $47 a month for unlimited groups, or $390 billed yearly. As of October 2026, Post Planner's Starter plan is listed at $14 a month ($9 billed yearly) for 3 accounts, with a free plan for 1 account. Check Post Planner's site for current pricing.
How do I switch from Post Planner to PilotPoster?
It takes minutes. Install the extension, and every group you have joined is imported, ready to sort into saved lists. Schedule your first campaign, give each group its own version, and every post comes back with a live link or the exact reason it didn't go out. See how PilotPoster works.
