CaptiFi gives venues guest WiFi marketing with hardware included (refundable deposit), transparent monthly pricing, every integration included from the Growth plan up, and a 30-day free trial.
No hardware supplied: its hardware page says you can start "without the need to change your existing equipment" and its academy says you need to buy an access point, so a venue with no compatible AP must source and configure its own
Per-tier prices are not in the static pricing page we read on 29 September 2026; the homepage says "From $29/mo" and hotel plans are keyed on room count, so the figure for your venue needs their calculator or a quote
No UK legal entity, UK office or UK phone number on its contact and about pages, and no PECR wording anywhere we checked (its privacy policy, pricing page and its UK Data Protection Act article dated 14 April 2025) as of September 2026; UK venues sending marketing email or SMS should confirm how consent is handled
Its pricing page advertises "Review gating - positive reviews go public, negative ones stay private"; Google's review policies bar selectively soliciting positive reviews, so check how the Google path is handled before relying on it
No Toast, Square or SumUp POS connector and no Leat or similar third-party loyalty connector listed on its CRM integrations page as of September 2026, so there is no spend-based segmentation
Public reviews are thin: we found a single G2 review, dated 2016, so there is no independent rating to weigh
No. Social WiFi is a serious platform with real strengths. Here's where it genuinely shines: Venues outside the UK that already own a supported access point, are happy to bill in USD, want WhatsApp marketing and a built-in loyalty module in the same tool, and are comfortable with a Warsaw-based vendor and a 14-day trial. If that sounds like you, Social WiFi may be the right fit. CaptiFi is built for venues who want simpler pricing, hardware included (refundable deposit), and every integration included from the Growth plan up.
