Can SocialPilot post to Facebook groups?
No. As of October 2026, SocialPilot publishes to Facebook Pages through Meta's API, and its own Facebook guide notes third-party tools cannot auto-publish to groups since April 22, 2024. PilotPoster posts to every group you have joined from your own browser, with a unique version for each group.
How does SocialPilot handle Facebook groups?
SocialPilot uses Meta's official API, so it lost group publishing along with every other API-based scheduler on April 22, 2024. See SocialPilot Facebook publishing. PilotPoster posts organically from your own account, so your group campaigns keep running.
What does PilotPoster do that SocialPilot 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, SocialPilot's Essentials plan is listed at $20 a month ($17 billed yearly) for 5 accounts. Check SocialPilot's site for current pricing.
How do I switch from SocialPilot 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.
