A plan before you ask
Ampere Autopilot plans each week around your services, your specials and the season. You open it and the posts are already there.
Autopilot vs Meta Business Suite
Meta Business Suite lets you schedule posts you make, at no cost. Ampere Autopilot makes the posts: it plans, writes and designs a week of Facebook posts in your voice, then posts them for you.

Ampere Autopilot
The short answer
Meta Business Suite is a fine free scheduler if you have time to make the posts. Ampere Autopilot is for the weeks you don't, which is most weeks when you're running a business.
Why owners switch
The scheduler was never the hard part. Coming up with something to say, three times a week, is.
Ampere Autopilot plans each week around your services, your specials and the season. You open it and the posts are already there.
Swipe right on sample posts that sound like you. Every caption after that is written your way.
Autopilot texts or emails a quick question, like what's new this week, and turns your one-line answer into a post.

The real cost

$384 a year
Your time. Making the posts yourself often takes 10 or more hours a week (estimate). The scheduler only handles the last step.
Ampere Autopilot Pro Plans, writes, designs and posts
$490 a year
Autopilot Pro yearly is $490, paid up front for 12 months, no mid-year cancel. Monthly Pro is $49 a month, cancel anytime.
