Why switch

What CaptiFi gives you that Beambox doesn't

Annual billing is the headline price; monthly billing typically costs more per location

Hardware is sold separately (Beambox "Captiv8" router) or you bring your own

No native Toast POS integration for spend-based segmentation (last verified 2026-04-30)

No loyalty platform integration (Leat / similar) at time of review

No native Twilio SMS welcome flow built into the splash page

Multi-vendor enterprise APs (Aruba, MikroTik, Ruckus, Cambium) not officially supported as deeply as UniFi / Captiv8

Is Beambox a bad product?

No. Beambox is a serious platform with real strengths. Here's where it genuinely shines: UK hospitality operators who like a polished branded experience, are happy with annual contracts, and don't need POS or loyalty integrations. If that sounds like you, Beambox may be the right fit. CaptiFi is built for venues who want simpler pricing, free hardware, and every integration included on every plan.
