Better Analytics Than the Competition
Dashboard and reporting limitations are the #1 complaint across competitor reviews (~25 mentions). Users describe reporting as "basic", "inflexible", and "slow to load" - especially when comparing data across multiple locations.
“The reporting functionality was less flexible, particularly when examining results from different time periods or places.”
- Competitor review on G2.com

Real Support from Real People
Customer support is the most devastating weakness across competitor reviews. Multiple users gave 0/5 ratings specifically citing unresponsive, inaccessible support teams.
“You can always get through to sales but never to support. No one answers the phone.”
- Competitor review on G2.com
Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Costs
Per-location pricing that escalates as you grow, expensive integration charges, and unclear website pricing are common frustrations across competitor reviews.
“It's a recurring cost by location, so for a growing business with multiple locations, it's an expense that adds up.”
- Competitor review on G2.com
CaptiFi's Advantage
- Clear pricing on our website - no sales calls required
- Every integration included on Growth and above
- Hardware included (refundable deposit) - no upfront equipment costs
- 30-day free trial, cancel anytime, no lock-in
CaptiFi's Advantage
- Visual splash page builder - no coding skills needed
- Full CSS control for pixel-perfect brand matching
- Real-time preview before publishing
- Per-location customisation (different menus, offers, branding)
Full Creative Control Over Your Portal
Competitors offer either rigid templates with no CSS control, or require HTML coding knowledge to customise splash pages. One user spent 4 hours debugging because there was no preview mode.
“When you make changes there is no way of seeing how this affects the customer login. I spent 4 hours trying to solve an issue!”
- Competitor review on G2.com
You Own Your Data
Multiple competitor users report difficulty exporting their own data, needing to pay for integrations, or being unable to save data to their own databases.
“I cannot find how to store the data in my own database.”
- Competitor review on G2.com
CaptiFi's Advantage
- Export your contacts anytime - CSV, Excel, and API
- All integrations included from Growth up - no extra charges
