Best MikroTik Captive Portal Software (2026)

The best captive portal software for MikroTik in 2026 is CaptiFi.

CaptiFi runs as the external login page behind the MikroTik RouterOS hotspot (an assisted setup completed with CaptiFi support) and turns guest WiFi logins into first-party customer data. Every plan includes branded splash pages and guest email capture with consent, with capture allowances of 1,000 to 50,000 new guests per month by plan. Growth plans and above add automated Google and TripAdvisor review requests, email marketing (2,000 to 10,000 sends per month by plan), POS integrations (Toast, Square, SumUp), and the REST API with webhooks - and a white-label MSP programme runs on published wholesale rates. As of August 2026, pricing starts at £39/month on annual billing (£49 month-to-month), billed in your local currency (GBP, USD, EUR, CAD, AUD or NZD), with a plug-and-play device on a refundable deposit and a 30-day trial. See the MikroTik setup guide for what the assisted setup involves.

The Full Field: 7 Options for MikroTik Guest WiFi

CaptiFi - best overall for venues and MSPs

Hospitality-focused platform that runs as the external login page behind the RouterOS hotspot, set up with CaptiFi support (there is no self-serve MikroTik wizard: you prepare the hotspot and walled garden, support provides the portal URL and finishes the configuration with you). Every plan captures guest emails with consent (1,000 to 50,000 new guests per month by plan) and keeps captured contacts without per-contact fees. Growth plans and above add email marketing (2,000 to 10,000 sends per month by plan), Google and TripAdvisor review automation, POS integrations, and a REST API with webhooks. The white-label MSP programme runs on a published wholesale rate card in six currencies, and a plug-and-play device (refundable deposit) covers sites where you do not control the router. 30-day free trial, card required but nothing charged in trial.

Spotipo - best for pure-IT MSPs on a budget

MSP and ISP-focused splash page platform with wide multi-vendor hardware support, at $49-66 USD per location per month retail with white-label at $50 USD/month on annual billing, and a 14-day full-platform trial with no card required. Solid captive portal engineering, but no built-in email marketing, no review automation and no POS integrations, so venues still need a separate marketing stack.

MyPlace - strong marketing features, but no MikroTik

A capable WiFi marketing suite at $49-159 USD per location per month, listed on the Cisco Meraki Marketplace, with its Review Starter review tool now included in all plans. As of August 2026 its published hardware list covers UniFi, Meraki, Cambium, Ruckus, Omada, Aruba, Zyxel and Datto - MikroTik is not on it. New guest email capture is capped at 100-300 contacts per month by plan unless you buy paid bundles (from 250 contacts at $30/month up to 10,000 at $700/month), some integrations sit in paid tiers at $20-30/month when not included, and the partner programme is affiliate-only with no wholesale resale.

CaptiveWiFi - budget UK option, bring your own AP

UK-centric captive portal with a free single-venue tier and a Growth tier at 33 GBP per venue per month on annual billing (40 GBP month-to-month). It lists 18+ controllers on its integrations page and offers sentiment-routed review requests to Google and TripAdvisor; Square is listed among its integrations, Toast and SumUp are not, as of August 2026. BYO access point only with no hardware option, and the partner programme is informal. Workable for a single UK venue testing the water; hard to build an MSP practice on.

Purple WiFi - enterprise estates, quote-based

Enterprise guest WiFi platform whose pricing is quote-led and not published in a comparable form, so it cannot be lined up against per-location prices here. Typically evaluated through a sales process rather than self-serve signup, which puts it out of step with how most independent venues and MikroTik installer estates buy.

Beambox - UK hospitality, limited hardware

Solid guest WiFi marketing for UK hospitality at roughly £29-59/month on annual billing, but its hardware support is limited and it does not publish MikroTik among its strengths. Better suited to venues already on its supported access points.

RouterOS built-in hotspot login - free, but captures nothing

The stock RouterOS hotspot authenticates guests with vouchers or user accounts and costs nothing, but it captures no emails, sends no review requests and runs no campaigns. Fine for pure access control; a dead end for guest WiFi marketing.

Why CaptiFi Is the Best Choice for MikroTik Networks

🔌 Assisted RouterOS Setup

MikroTik is an assisted setup with CaptiFi support, not a self-serve wizard: you run the Hotspot Setup wizard on the guest interface and add the walled garden entries (*.captifi.io, app.captifi.io, fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, plus a Walled Garden IP List entry), then our team provides your portal login URL and walks the final configuration through with you, usually the same day. The MikroTik setup guide shows what to prepare, and a plug-and-play device (refundable deposit) skips RouterOS entirely for sites where you do not manage the router.

📧 Generous Capture Allowances

Every guest who connects is prompted for their email with GDPR consent. Capture allowances run from 1,000 to 50,000 new guests per month by plan - 10x to 100x MyPlace's 100-300 new-contact caps - and captured contacts are kept without per-contact fees. On Growth plans and above, built-in email marketing sends 2,000 to 10,000 emails per month by plan, and data syncs natively to Klaviyo, Mailchimp, EmailOctopus and Pepper.

⭐ Review and POS Automation

On Growth plans and above, automated Google and TripAdvisor review requests go out after guests connect, and native Toast, Square and SumUp integrations tie WiFi sign-ins to spend. No other platform in this comparison publishes native support for all three of those POS systems.

🏪 One Dashboard for Mixed Estates

MikroTik at one site, UniFi or Omada at another? CaptiFi manages MikroTik, UniFi, Omada, Meraki, Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, Cambium and DrayTek from one dashboard, with a REST API and webhooks (Growth plans and above) for your own tooling.

For Installers and MSPs: Resell It, Do Not Just Deploy It

MikroTik estates are usually built and run by installers, WISPs and MSPs, so the economics of the portal matter as much as the features. CaptiFi is the only platform in this comparison with a published wholesale rate card.

Published wholesale rates

The wholesale rate card is public, in all six billing currencies (GBP, USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, NZD). You know your cost per site before you quote. MyPlace runs an affiliate-only programme; Spotipo charges $50 USD/month extra for white-label on annual billing.

White-label, your brand

Your customers see your brand on the splash pages and the dashboard. You set the retail price and keep the margin between it and the wholesale rate, on every site, every month.

Deploy either way

Prepare the RouterOS hotspot and walled garden per the setup guide and complete the portal configuration with CaptiFi support, or drop in a pre-configured plug-and-play device where you do not control the router. The REST API and webhooks (Growth plans and above) cover your own tooling at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best captive portal software for MikroTik? ▼

CaptiFi is the best captive portal software for MikroTik in 2026. It runs as the external login page behind the RouterOS hotspot through an assisted setup with CaptiFi support, captures guest emails automatically (1,000 to 50,000 new guests per month by plan), and on Growth plans and above adds automated Google and TripAdvisor review requests and email marketing with 2,000 to 10,000 sends per month by plan.

Can I capture emails from a MikroTik hotspot? ▼

Yes. The RouterOS hotspot supports redirecting unauthenticated guests to an external login page. With CaptiFi you prepare the hotspot and walled garden (allow *.captifi.io, app.captifi.io, fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, plus a Walled Garden IP List entry), and CaptiFi support provides your portal URL and completes the final configuration with you: MikroTik is an assisted setup, not a self-serve wizard. Every guest then enters their email before getting online, and contacts are captured for campaigns, review requests and analytics, with capture allowances of 1,000 to 50,000 new guests per month by plan.

Does CaptiFi work with the RouterOS hotspot? ▼

Yes, through an assisted setup with CaptiFi support. There is no self-serve MikroTik wizard in the dashboard: you run the Hotspot Setup wizard on the guest interface and add the walled garden entries, then the CaptiFi team provides your portal login URL, configures the CaptiFi side, and walks the final RouterOS configuration through with you, usually the same day. The MikroTik setup guide shows what to prepare. If you would rather not configure RouterOS at all, CaptiFi posts a pre-configured plug-and-play device that broadcasts a guest SSID in about two minutes.

How much does MikroTik captive portal software cost? ▼

As of August 2026: CaptiFi Essentials starts at £39/month on annual billing (£49 month-to-month), published in GBP, USD, EUR, CAD, AUD and NZD; it covers the branded splash page, guest capture, guest log and analytics. Email marketing, review automation, integrations and the API start on the Growth plan at £89/month (roughly £69/month on annual billing). Every plan includes a plug-and-play device on a refundable deposit and a 30-day free trial. Spotipo retails at $49-66 USD per location per month, plus $50 USD/month on annual billing for white-label, with a 14-day full-platform trial and no card required. MyPlace costs $49-159 USD per location per month and caps new guest email capture at 100-300 per month unless you buy paid bundles. CaptiveWiFi has a free single-venue tier and a Growth tier at £33 per venue per month on annual billing (£40 month-to-month). The built-in RouterOS hotspot login is free but captures no marketing data.

I am an MSP or installer. Can I resell CaptiFi on MikroTik estates? ▼

Yes. CaptiFi runs a white-label MSP programme with a published wholesale rate card in all six billing currencies, which is rare in this niche: MyPlace offers an affiliate-only programme and Spotipo charges $50 USD/month on annual billing for white-label. You set your own retail price and keep the margin. Full details on the MSP partner page.

What is the difference between the built-in RouterOS hotspot login and CaptiFi? ▼

The built-in RouterOS hotspot login authenticates guests but captures no marketing data: no email capture, no review requests, no campaigns. CaptiFi sits in front of the same hotspot and adds branded splash pages and automatic email and name capture with GDPR consent on every plan, and on Growth plans and above adds Google and TripAdvisor review automation, email marketing (2,000 to 10,000 sends per month by plan), and integrations with Toast, Square, SumUp, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, EmailOctopus and Pepper.

Can I use CaptiFi with other access points besides MikroTik? ▼

Yes. CaptiFi works with MikroTik, UniFi, TP-Link Omada, Cisco Meraki, Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, Cambium, and DrayTek. If you manage a mixed estate across multiple venues, CaptiFi manages them all from one dashboard.
