Looking at Posting Manually? Compare it against AutoPosting Pro.
Typing each vehicle into Facebook Marketplace yourself — photos, specs, description, then renewals and removal when it sells, one listing at a time. AutoPosting Pro uses a site-specific reader in the customer's Chrome profile, verifies the extracted inventory before it updates the cloud, and prepares Facebook Marketplace listings through that same signed-in browser. Current per-vehicle renew and delist tools prefer a recorded listing link but may fall back to vehicle-title matching, so results must be reviewed. The public extension includes Marketplace Messages and a customizable salesperson-written template responder. Studio subscribers also have Studio-gated AI photo editing and inventory-grounded buyer drafts in the public extension. In review mode, those drafts never auto-send and require confirmation of the exact words and recipient. Check the active reply mode and handoff settings in your installed app. The preview shows an updated interface and review flow with the same confirmation requirement; Studio is available now.
There is no vendor on the other side of this comparison — just an honest accounting of what this route costs in hours and consistency, so you can run your own numbers.

A site-specific reader runs locally in your Chrome profile and uploads dealership inventory only after validation. It has no fixed dealership-vendor list; incomplete or unsafe candidates are held for review.
You retype year, make, model, price and mileage, and re-upload photos for each car.
Facebook Marketplace through your signed-in Chrome profile. Selected Facebook Groups are available when Facebook offers them; Page and Instagram publishing are optional desktop workflows, and TikTok is an explicit-click helper.
Facebook Marketplace through your own account, one listing at a time.
AI captions written per platform, with your own prompt add-ons for tone, financing lines and phone number.
You write each description yourself.
In the public extension, per-vehicle renew and delist tools prefer a recorded Marketplace permalink but can fall back to vehicle-title matching on the signed-in account’s Your listings page, so results must be reviewed. Studio subscribers also have Studio-gated AI photo editing and inventory-grounded buyer drafts in that public build; in review mode, drafts require confirmation of the exact words and recipient. Check the installed app's active reply mode and handoff settings. The interface preview updates the interface and review flow. Studio is available now.
You track renewals and sold units by hand, and answer every message personally.
$9.90 first month, then $29.90/mo — unlimited vehicles, cancel anytime.
No software cost — the cost is your time on every listing, renewal and delist.
The seven questions to ask any auto poster
Put Posting Manually and AutoPosting Pro through the same seven questions. Our answers are on the record below — get theirs by honestly tallying your own hours and compare.
Unlimited vehicles on every AutoPosting Pro plan. A 40-car lot and a 900-car lot pay the same $29.90/mo.
$9.90 for the first month, then $29.90/mo. Cancel anytime — no contract, no per-vehicle fees.
Any public dealership inventory website is in scope. A site-specific reader runs in the customer’s Chrome profile and gathers VINs, prices, mileage and vehicle-owned photo galleries. The complete candidate is verified before it can update cloud inventory; an unsafe refresh leaves the last known-good lot in place. Once payment and the required website-and-Chrome setup are complete, we have three calendar days to get verified inventory working—or we refund the first month.
AI prepares editable Marketplace listing copy from the vehicle’s verified facts, dealership description and features, plus your own instructions for tone, financing lines and contact details.
Current per-vehicle lifecycle controls prefer a recorded Marketplace link but can fall back to vehicle-title matching on the signed-in account’s Your listings page, so results must be reviewed. Public Marketplace Messages also includes a configurable salesperson-written first-response template.
Photo controls help detect dealer-banner frames, keep each gallery tied to the correct VIN, and let the salesperson hide or reorder images. Studio subscribers can also create an optional AI background edit reviewed beside the original; Studio is available now.
Your own signed-in Facebook session in the Chrome extension. Marketplace posting is visible, paced and tied to the salesperson’s account; there is no shared posting account or third-party Marketplace API.
Questions dealers ask about Posting Manually
Retyping year, make, model, trim, price and mileage, downloading photos from your website and re-uploading them, writing a description, then later renewing the listing and deleting it when the car sells — multiplied by every unit on the lot.
If you move a handful of cars a month, doing it by hand costs nothing but time and keeps you in full control. Automation starts paying for itself as the lot grows and the renewal and delist backlog piles up.

Current per-vehicle lifecycle actions prefer a recorded Marketplace permalink but can fall back to vehicle-title matching on the signed-in account’s Your listings page.
