GoZone WiFi alternatives for venues that want no ads at login
GoZone is one of only three platforms we checked with a free forever plan, and the only one whose free plan is an ads based login. If your guests seeing someone else’s advert is the problem, here are the alternatives and what each costs instead.
Why venues look beyond GoZone WiFi
From GoZone WiFi’s own pages, read October 7, 2026:
- The free Business Starter plan is marked "* Ads-based login".
- Each paid plan includes one AP license.
- The plans page describes surveys rather than review requests.
The options side by side
| Option | Pricing model | Free tier | Hardware and vendors | Consent | Review requests | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stay on GoZone WiFi | Free with ads, then per month plans that each include one AP license | Free forever: The plans page marks the free tier "* Ads-based login", so guests see advertising on the way in. Automated email campaigns start on Essentials at $39 a month. | "Works with compatible WiFi equipment or we will supply for an additional charge"; configuration guides for a long list of hardware brands | No consent wording found on the plans page. | No review request feature is described on the plans page; paid tiers include a survey builder and a form builder that can "Receive feedback and reviews". | See the case for staying below |
| VoqadoWiFi (us) | Free Starter plan, then Growth at $49 a month for 3 locations and 5,000 guest logins. One flat price, not per location. | Starter is free forever, not a trial: 1 location, 500 guest logins a month, branded login, guest email capture and CSV export. No card, no ads shown to guests. | Exactly two: TP-Link Omada and Ubiquiti UniFi. Nothing else works. | WiFi terms acceptance is never treated as marketing consent. On the explicit consent form (the default for new venues; owners switch it on for existing ones) the email box is separate and starts unticked, and each choice is stored with the exact wording shown and the time. | Never gated. Every guest who gave email consent gets the same public review link, 3 hours after connecting by default, and never between 21:00 and 09:00 venue time; a private note to the venue is offered in addition, never instead. | A free plan with your brand only, on Omada or UniFi |
| Purple | Free Connect tier, then Capture and Engage priced by quote | Free forever: Connect is described as "Best for: single venues getting started with WiFi analytics". First party data capture, CRM integration and email verification are listed as what Capture adds to Connect, so the free tier does not list collecting guest contact details. | 25 hardware integrations listed on its integrations page; the pricing page calls Purple "hardware agnostic" | Connect lists "Compliance with major data laws"; the plan table cites CCPA/CPRA and major privacy regulations. | No review request feature is described on the pricing page. | A free branded portal and analytics |
| CaptiFi | Per site tiers by new guests a month, monthly or annual, hardware on a refundable deposit | 30 day free trial; a payment method is needed to start it, and hardware carries a £60 refundable deposit | Its own WiFi device on a refundable deposit, or your own WiFi; the page names nine compatible network platforms | "GDPR contact capture" from Essentials up. | "Automated review requests" from Essentials up; no screening is described. | A low cost paid plan with capture |
| Spotipo | Per location, monthly or annual, with a monthly unique guest limit | 14 day full access trial, no credit card required | Nine router brands named on the pricing page, "+20 more"; "Works with your existing router. No hardware changes." | "GDPR-compliant consent built in" is listed on Starter. | No review request feature is described on the pricing page. | Paid, router agnostic, no ads |
| The portal built into your controller | Included with the controller | Free, no list kept | Whatever your controller supports | Terms acceptance only | None | A terms page with no ads and no list |

The case for staying on GoZone WiFi
Stay on GoZone if ads at login are acceptable and you need many access points free, or if you use its touchless menu, survey builder, coupons, Zapier or paid WiFi add on. It is a generous free plan with a clearly stated catch.
Each option, with its catch
VoqadoWiFi
Why consider it. A free plan that captures guest emails with consent (1 location, 500 logins a month, no card), Growth at $49 a month for three locations, and review requests that show every guest the same public link.
The catch. Works only with TP-Link Omada and Ubiquiti UniFi. No SMS, no paid WiFi, no POS or PMS integration, no white label. Campaign sending is being switched on account by account.
Purple
Why consider it. Connect is free: secure captive portal, branded splash pages, 25 languages, network analytics.
The catch. Guest data capture is listed in the quoted Capture tier.
CaptiFi
Why consider it. Lite at £19.99 a month as our check was served, with guest capture and CSV export.
The catch. CaptiFi branding on Lite; 500 new guests a month; card for the trial.
Spotipo
Why consider it. Published per location prices, CRM sync and GDPR consent built in on Starter.
The catch. No free plan; 14 day trial.
The portal built into your controller
Why consider it. The captive portal inside your Omada or UniFi controller costs nothing and is already installed. It can show terms, take a password or issue vouchers.
The catch. It keeps no guest list you can market to and sends nothing after the visit. Right if you only want a terms page; wrong if you want to bring guests back.
Before you leave GoZone WiFi, export these
- Your guest list and the consent each guest gave.
- Survey results you want to keep.
- Touchless menu content, if you used it, since the next platform may not host menus.
Consent records matter most. A list of emails without the wording and date each guest agreed to is a list you should not email. Our guide to guest WiFi and privacy rules explains why.
