The main difference between SNAP and other systems is that we are not acting as a middle man between your site and you accounts. All our scripts are installed on your server and your server makes posts to your networks directly.
When you are using Hootsuite, you are sending all your info to them basically giving up the privacy of your content.
The latest SNAP API is fully capable of posting to Facebook Groups and after the next update will be able to import comments as well.
From what I understand
1) FB has disabled group comment importing for most accounts
2) the unofficial third party app method is not working
3) SNAP API for groups will not be free

The fact that Facebook has blocked auto-posting to Facebook Groups means that the PRO plugin, which many people purchased in good faith, no longer supports the key feature “Auto-posting to Groups”, which is its main use.
NextScripts has a special offer as follows:
1. You can subscribe to “SNAP Premium API Libraries” ($49.95/year) and get “SNAP Pro WordPress Plugin” for free.
2. You can buy “SNAP Pro WordPress Plugin” for $49.95 (One time payment) and get one year of “SNAP Premium API Libraries” for free.
Since subscribers have already paid their $49.95 for the PRO plugin, which no longer supports “Auto-posting to Groups”, my suggestion would be to give these subscribers a FREE subscription to the PREMIUM API.
In that way they will once again able to post to Groups and to evaluate the PREMIUM API plugin – just as if they would have purchased the PRO plugin today according to the above offer.
NextScripts would almost certainly benefit in the medium term because most subscribers would then renew their PREMIUM API subscription when it expired after one year.
Well, I will go a step further and suggest that SNAP makes their new Fb group API free for all plugin users, as it was before and in much like the manner done by HootSuite.
Since this is most probably not going to happen, I would request that at least the free auto posting and comment sync for FB PAGES is fixed soon, so we can move readers from group to page. Most of our audience is already leaving because of the inability to use FB groups to discuss automatically posted articles…
