# CaptiFi

> CaptiFi is a captive-portal and guest-WiFi marketing platform for restaurants, bars, hotels, retail and multi-location hospitality groups. We turn guest WiFi sign-ins into a GDPR-consented marketing list, then automate emails, SMS, Google review requests, POS-linked offers and CRM sync. Free hardware (with refundable hold), 30-day free trial, simple monthly pricing.

## What CaptiFi does

- Converts guest WiFi authentication into structured customer data (name, email, phone, opt-ins) with full GDPR/PECR audit trail.
- Sends automated email + SMS campaigns (welcome, win-back, birthday, post-visit review request) without a separate ESP.
- Drives Google review volume by triggering review requests automatically after each visit.
- Syncs guest data to Mailchimp, Revinate, Toast POS, Leat Loyalty, Twilio SMS, and 7+ more (see /integrations).

## Honest comparison summary

CaptiFi is most differentiated when:

- You want every integration on every plan (no gating).
- You prefer transparent monthly pricing without a sales call.
- You need it to work with whatever WiFi hardware you already have, including UniFi/Omada.
- You want a 30-day free trial with free hardware shipped before you commit.

Competitors win when:

- **Beambox**: you want the slickest in-store branded splash editor and don't care about transparent monthly pricing.
- **Spotipo**: you want a self-hosted/free open-source option and have the technical chops to deploy it yourself.
- **Purple WiFi**: you're an enterprise venue (airports, stadiums, malls) needing an analytics-first platform with a dedicated CSM.
- **Fydelia**: you need very deep loyalty/rewards mechanics and are already invested in their POS-linked stack.

We treat competitors fairly and recommend them where they genuinely fit better — see the per-competitor `/compare/` pages.

## Compliance & trust

- UK GDPR + PECR aligned consent capture and audit trail.
- Information security practices informed by ISO/IEC 27001.
- Card payments processed by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1) — CaptiFi never stores card numbers.
- Data residency: UK + EU.
- Data export available at any time (CSV, Excel, REST API).
