Why only browser extensions work for groups
This is the single most important fact when comparing alternatives: in April 2024, Meta removed the publish_to_groups permission from the Graph API for third-party apps. That ended cloud-based group posting overnight. Today, the only architecture that can publish to the groups you've joined (not just Pages you own) is a browser extension that acts inside your own logged-in Facebook session.
That's why every tool that genuinely posts to groups — MultiGroupPoster, PilotPoster, SafePoster, Group Posting Pro — is a browser extension or runs through your session. And it's why Buffer, Hootsuite, Later, and Sprout Social, excellent as they are for Pages, cannot post to groups at all. Any list that mixes them in isn't really about groups.
Switching from a specific tool
If you already use one of these and want to move, each tool has its own guide:
- NinjaPoster vs MultiGroupPoster: $37 a month with RSS and AI, and what its own comparison page gets wrong about us.
- PostPartner alternative: $29 a month, and why two store listings carry its name.
- SimplePoster vs MultiGroupPoster: $4.99 a month, but Windows only.
- GoizanTools Groups Auto Poster alternative: a free plan for 2 groups, and $2.99 a month after that.
- Multiple Group Share Assistant alternative: free sharing with a watermark, and schedules only for groups you run.
- Lazy Poster alternative: what to compare between group posting extensions before you switch.
- JERA alternative: why it stopped posting to groups when Meta removed the Groups API in April 2024.
- Hootsuite, Buffer and Circleboom alternatives: keep the scheduler for your Pages and add groups beside it.
- FS Poster alternatives: a WordPress plugin for 26 networks that reaches groups only through a cookie method its own documentation says works 70% of the time.
- Post Planner for Facebook: a free plan and content discovery for Pages, and why it cannot post to groups.
If your current tool has simply stopped posting, check the cause before you switch: why a Facebook group poster stops working walks through Meta’s API change, Facebook updates, account limits and group settings, and what fixes each.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest Facebook group poster?
GoizanTools’ Groups Auto Poster, at $2.99 a month or $59.99 for life, then SimplePoster at $4.99 a month on Windows only, both checked on 2 October 2026. MultiGroupPoster costs $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year, after 6 free posts with no card.
Which Facebook group posters have a free plan?
Group Posting Pro’s Lite plan allows 5 group-posts a day with no end date, and GoizanTools’ free plan 5 posts a day to at most 2 groups. Multiple Group Share Assistant shares existing posts for free, with a watermark. MultiGroupPoster gives 6 free posts, once.
Can Buffer or Hootsuite post to Facebook groups?
No. Both publish to Facebook Pages through Meta’s API, which lost group publishing for third-party apps in April 2024 and never covered groups you merely joined. Posting to those groups takes a browser extension that works in your own logged-in session.
