The architecture difference
groupswatcher runs a managed fleet of Facebook accounts on their servers. You add their bot to your group. They charge a premium because they're carrying account-management overhead.
snipegroups runs entirely on your Facebook session, captured once via a Chrome extension. Our worker polls on your behalf, reading what you'd see if you opened the group yourself. No fleet of sockpuppet accounts on our side, no admin approval needed on your end, no per-group onboarding overhead. That's why we charge ~$2/group instead of $15.
Honest tradeoff: we recommend you use a secondary FB account (any old one works). If Facebook ever flags automated reading, the heat lands on a throwaway, not your main. Same risk profile as any browser extension that interacts with a logged-in site.
Where groupswatcher might be better for you
- You want their managed fleet so you don't have to think about FB sessions. Worth $130/mo extra to some people.
- You need AI spam filtering today. We're shipping it; they have it.
- You need auto-comment / first-DM functionality (their Enterprise tier). We deliberately don't write to Facebook — kept the product read-only by design.
