# Post Planner for Facebook: groups, price and alternatives

Post Planner is a capable cloud scheduler for Facebook Pages with a good eye for content. It cannot post to Facebook groups, and its own site says so. Here is what it does, what it costs and what to use for groups, checked on 15 October 2026.

Quick answer

Post Planner is a cloud scheduler for Facebook Pages and nine other networks, with content discovery and post recycling, a free plan for one account and paid plans from $9 a month billed yearly. It cannot post to Facebook groups: its own Facebook page says apps lost that in April 2024. For groups you joined, use a browser extension.

How we compared: we make MultiGroupPoster, so read this as a vendor comparison. Feature claims about the other tool come from its public site and listing; verify current pricing directly with the vendor.

Key takeaways

- **Post Planner schedules to Facebook Pages**, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Google Business, Bluesky, Pinterest and X. Its strength is finding content to post and recycling what worked.
- **It cannot post to Facebook groups.** Asked whether it can, its own Facebook page answers no, because Facebook stopped allowing apps to post to groups in April 2024.
- **Price, checked 15 October 2026:** a Free plan for 1 account; Starter $14 a month or $9 a month billed yearly; Growth $59 or $39; Business $99 or $69; every paid plan has a 7-day trial.
- The Free plan allows 10 posts in the queue and 3 posts a day per profile; X and Pinterest need Growth or higher.
- For groups you joined, MultiGroupPoster posts from your own browser at $9.99 a month. The two do different jobs and can run side by side.

![MultiGroupPoster Queue tab with the scheduler running and three group posts queued: daily, once and weekly on Friday](https://multiplegroupposter.com/images/app/howto/en/queue.webp)

What Post Planner cannot do: group posts queued daily, once and weekly, sent from your own browser.

## What Post Planner is

Post Planner is a social media scheduler that runs in the cloud. You connect your accounts once, and it publishes through each network’s official API from its own servers, so your computer does not need to be on. It supports Facebook Pages, Instagram, Threads, Google Business, LinkedIn profiles and pages, Pinterest, TikTok, X, YouTube and Bluesky.

What sets it apart from Buffer or Hootsuite is the content side: it suggests articles and top-performing posts to share, keeps posts in categories it calls buckets, and can recycle evergreen posts back into the queue. Plans also include an AI writer, bulk upload, a calendar view and post previews.

## Post Planner for Facebook: Pages yes, groups no

On Facebook, Post Planner schedules image, video, carousel, link, text and Reels posts to Pages you manage, and its paid Growth plan and above can schedule a first comment. That covers the Page side well.

Groups are a different matter. Its Facebook page is still titled around Pages and Groups, but the same page answers the question directly: “No, Facebook discontinued allowing apps to post to Groups in April 2024.” That matches what happened: Meta removed the Groups API and the publish_to_groups permission on 22 April 2024, and no cloud scheduler has posted into groups since. See [what the Groups API removal changed](https://multiplegroupposter.com/blog/facebook-groups-api-discontinued/).

If your audience is in groups you joined, the work has to happen in your own logged-in browser. That is what [MultiGroupPoster](https://multiplegroupposter.com/facebook-auto-poster/) does: one post to a saved list of groups, different wording per group with Spintax, pauses between posts and a result for every group.

## What Post Planner costs

Post Planner has a Free plan and six paid plans, each with a 7-day free trial. Billed monthly, Starter is $14, Growth $59, Business $99 and Agency $179; billed yearly they come to $9, $39, $69 and $119 a month. The two largest Agency plans cost $219 and $419 a month billed yearly. Prices were checked on its pricing page on 15 October 2026.

The Free plan is real but small: 1 social account, 1 user, 10 posts waiting in the queue at any time and 3 posts a day per profile. Starter raises that to 3 accounts, 150 queued posts and 12 posts a day; Growth to 15 accounts, 1,500 queued posts and 24 a day, and adds X, Pinterest and comment scheduling.

## Where each one wins

### Where MultiGroupPoster wins

- Posts to the Facebook groups you joined, which Post Planner says it cannot do.
- Spintax and Image Sets give each group its own wording and photos.
- A result for every group after each run: posted, waiting for approval, or failed with the reason.

### Where Post Planner wins

- Covers ten networks, where MultiGroupPoster covers Facebook only.
- Finds content for you and recycles evergreen posts, which MultiGroupPoster does not try to do.
- Runs in the cloud, so posts go out with your computer off; MultiGroupPoster needs Chrome open.
- A free plan that never expires, for one account.

## Which should you pick?

### Pick MultiGroupPoster if…

- Your audience is in Facebook groups you joined.
- You want one post to reach many groups with different wording in each.

### Pick Post Planner if…

- You publish to a Facebook Page and other networks and want a queue that never runs dry.
- You need ideas for what to post as much as a place to schedule it.

## Migrating across

1. Keep Post Planner for your Page and other networks; nothing needs to move.
2. Install MultiGroupPoster and sign in with Google; no Facebook password is involved.
3. Let it scan the groups you belong to, or import a CSV or Excel list of group links.
4. Run a small campaign to a few groups before sending to your full list.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can Post Planner post to Facebook groups I joined?

No. Post Planner publishes from its own servers through Meta's official API, and that API never covered groups you merely joined; Meta removed group publishing for third-party apps altogether in April 2024. Reaching those groups takes a browser extension that posts from your own logged-in session.

### Can Post Planner post to Facebook groups?

No. Post Planner’s own Facebook page answers that Facebook stopped allowing apps to post to groups in April 2024. It still schedules to Facebook Pages you manage. To post to groups you joined, you need a browser extension that posts from your own session, such as MultiGroupPoster.

### How much does Post Planner cost?

As of 15 October 2026: a Free plan for 1 account; Starter $14 a month or $9 a month billed yearly; Growth $59 or $39; Business $99 or $69; Agency $179 or $119; and larger Agency plans at $219 and $419 a month billed yearly. Every paid plan has a 7-day free trial.

### Is Post Planner free?

It has a free plan: 1 social account, 1 user, 10 posts in the queue at a time, 3 posts a day per profile and 1 AI image a month. X and Pinterest need the Growth plan or higher. The paid plans start at $9 a month billed yearly.

### What is the best Post Planner alternative for Facebook groups?

A browser extension, because no cloud scheduler can post to groups since Meta removed the Groups API on 22 April 2024. MultiGroupPoster posts one message to the groups you joined from your own Chrome, with Spintax, pauses and a result per group, for $9.99 a month after 6 free posts.

### How hard is it to switch from Post Planner?

Keep Post Planner for your Page and other networks; nothing needs to move. Install MultiGroupPoster and sign in with Google; no Facebook password is involved. Let it scan the groups you belong to, or import a CSV or Excel list of group links. Run a small campaign to a few groups before sending to your full list.

### Will either tool get my Facebook account restricted?

Neither tool changes what Facebook flags — pacing and content variation do. Randomized pauses of a few minutes after every few posts, 50–100 posts a day on an account older than twelve months, varied text per group and media attached is the safe range with any tool. Aggressive settings will flag an account regardless of which tool produced them.

The actual tool

## Everything you need to post to Facebook groups, in one place.

Real screens from the extension. No mockups, no stock photos — this is exactly what you'll use.

One-click bulk posting

### Write it once. Post to all your groups.

Stop copy-pasting the same post into one group after another. Write it once, pick a saved group list, and MultiGroupPoster posts it to every Facebook group on that list, one group at a time.

- Reusable group bundles you set up once
- Text, photos, video, emoji, link previews & color posts
- Watch every group go out, live, with per-group results

![MultiGroupPoster main screen (real extension popup) — composing a Facebook post with the Spintax, first-comment, color, and Protection controls, ready to publish to every group](https://multiplegroupposter.com/images/app/composer.webp)

Unique every time · Spintax

### Every group sees a different version.

Pasting the exact same text into many groups is a common reason posts get reported as spam. Spintax rewrites your wording for each group, so {Hi|Hey|Hello} turns into a different version every time and no two groups get an identical copy.

- No two groups get the same post — automatically
- Different wording in every group, not one copy pasted everywhere
- Paste ChatGPT or Claude variations straight in

![MultiGroupPoster Spintax variation builder generating a different version of a Facebook post for each group, with a live preview](https://multiplegroupposter.com/images/app/spintax.webp)

Posting at a pace you set

### Spread out over time, not fired off at once.

Firing 50 posts in 50 seconds is how accounts get restricted. Time Spacing sends your posts out in rounds with pauses in between, and Natural Presence adds a wait between posts. One group at a time, at the pace you choose. No tool can promise Facebook won't limit an account, but a steady pace is the sensible way to post.

- Time Spacing: rounds with randomized pauses
- Natural Presence: four levels of wait between posts
- A 200-posts-a-day limit that asks you before going past it

![MultiGroupPoster Protection settings: Time Spacing between posting rounds and a four-level Natural Presence slider that sets the pause between posts](https://multiplegroupposter.com/images/app/natural-presence.webp)

Set it and forget it

### Schedule once. It runs on autopilot.

Queue your posts for the perfect moment — once, daily, weekly, or monthly. MultiGroupPoster fires them on schedule and shows you exactly what landed in every group.

- Once / Daily / Weekly / Monthly frequencies
- Per-group results you can open on Facebook
- Pause, edit, or reorder the whole queue anytime

![MultiGroupPoster Planning & Frequency scheduler set to auto-post to Facebook groups on a recurring weekly schedule](https://multiplegroupposter.com/images/app/schedule.webp)

Build lists in seconds

### Pull all your groups straight from Facebook.

No manual copy-pasting of group URLs. Sync scans your Facebook account and imports every group you're a member of — then save targeted bundles you reuse for each campaign.

- One-click sync from your own Facebook account
- Or import a CSV / add group URLs manually
- Save reusable bundles per niche or campaign

![MultiGroupPoster Assemble Bundle screen — sync Facebook groups automatically, import a spreadsheet, or add group URLs by hand to build a reusable posting list](https://multiplegroupposter.com/images/app/group-list.webp)
