Find your segment first
Four venue types, four different definitions of a good platform. Most bad purchases in this category are a good product bought by the wrong buyer.
Single site
One café, restaurant, bar, salon, or shop. Marketing is a side task for whoever is already busiest.
What decides it: Check setup effort, the features included in the entry plan, and when email sending is available. Use a trial or free tier to test your exact network and guest journey before paying.
Multi-location group
Three to twenty owned venues under one operator, usually with a marketing manager and shared brand.
What decides it: Check whether guest records unify across sites, how venue permissions work, and the total cost at your planned site count. Ask about volume discounts and contact or access-point limits.
Franchise and agency
A brand with franchisee-owned units, or an agency running WiFi marketing on behalf of client venues.
What decides it: Multi-tenancy, permission boundaries, per-unit reporting, and branding removal. A franchisee must not see another franchisee's list, and an agency needs the platform to disappear behind its own brand.
Hotels and stays
Hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, and short-term rental portfolios.
What decides it: Capturing guests who use WiFi beyond the lead booker, property-level branding, PMS integration and follow-up for direct bookings. Guests who never connect may not enter your WiFi database.

The ten platforms in detail
Each entry separates documented capabilities from questions to verify in a trial or demo. Numbers identify entries; they are not scores.
VoqadoWiFi
Single site and small groupsVoqadoWiFi connects an email-based guest login to an exportable guest list, recorded consent and review requests. We publish this guide and sell this product. Review requests switch on venue by venue as guest email goes live, and campaigns are not live yet. Plans are on the pricing page; supported controllers under hardware integrations.
Official sources · checked 7 October 2026: Plans and allowances · Shipped features and rollout status · Supported hardware
- Starter is free forever with 500 monthly guest logins at 1 location.
- Growth is $49/mo for the account, covering 3 locations and 5,000 monthly logins.
- Guest CSV export and review requests without gating (switched on venue by venue as guest email goes live); Growth adds Mailchimp sync.
- −TP-Link Omada and Ubiquiti UniFi only; hardware and internet service are not included.
- −No social-account login, SMS sending, white label or public API today.
- −No footfall or walk-through attribution; guest email is switched on venue by venue, and campaigns are not live yet.
Fit check: If you need other network vendors, white label, SMS sending or physical-visit attribution, evaluate a platform that documents those capabilities.
Beambox
Venues and small groupsBeambox offers both an overlay for supported existing hardware and a Plug & Play device. Its pricing page separates guest access, behavioural email marketing and review/SMS tools across Essential, Growth and Pro.
Official sources · checked 7 October 2026: Plans, trial and installation terms
- 30-day trial; the first Plug & Play device is included with the trial.
- Existing-hardware integrations are available, so replacement is not always necessary.
- Published tiers separate email automation and reputation tools.
- −The calculator accounts for locations and guests; model your expected volume.
- −Review Automator and SMS are listed on Pro, rather than every plan.
- −Plug & Play hardware must be returned when cancelling; check coverage and extra-device costs.
Fit check: Before choosing a plan, check whether it includes your required review, email and SMS features and your exact hardware.
SocialWiFi
Hospitality and groupsSocialWiFi offers a branded portal, centralized guest database, email journeys and multiple-venue management. Its pricing page offers a 14-day trial and self-service registration alongside onboarding support. We compare the two directly on VoqadoWiFi vs SocialWiFi, and list further options under SocialWiFi alternatives.
Official sources · checked 7 October 2026: Pricing, trial and feature list
- 14-day free trial provides a way to evaluate it before paying.
- Custom consent forms, data export and team roles are listed.
- Its hardware integrations page lists 21 router and WiFi systems.
- −A time-limited trial is different from a free forever plan.
- −Pricing varies by venue type; hotels use room count and large venues contact sales.
- −Confirm the consent, export and review-request flow with your own venue during the trial.
Fit check: If you require a permanent free plan, compare that requirement separately from its trial and paid features.
Adentro (formerly Zenreach)
Restaurants, retail and venuesZenreach now trades as Adentro. Its current site describes guest profiles, automated email, advertising audiences and Walk-Through Rate reporting that links ad or email exposure with recorded in-store visits.
Official sources · checked 7 October 2026: Current platform and measurement · Zenreach name change
- Visit measurement is a documented part of its marketing proposition.
- Connects WiFi data with POS, loyalty and email platforms.
- Offers restaurant, retail and venue use cases.
- −The homepage routes pricing enquiries to a demo rather than publishing a rate.
- −Ask how visits are matched, which devices are observed and what the attribution window is.
- −An observed return visit does not by itself prove the campaign caused it; ask about controls.
Fit check: If physical-visit measurement is not part of your objective, compare the cost of its marketing scope with a simpler guest-list tool.
Purple
Single venues to enterprisePurple serves small venues as well as enterprise estates. Connect is a free branded-portal and network-analytics plan. Capture adds visitor data and CRM integration; Engage adds personalized communications and advanced analytics.
Official sources · checked 7 October 2026: Free plan, paid features and trial · Guest WiFi and hardware overlay
- Free Connect plan, plus a 30-day trial of Capture and Engage.
- Self-service guest plans are documented; professional services are optional offerings.
- Guest WiFi works with supported existing access points.
- −First-party contact capture and CRM integration are listed on Capture, not free Connect.
- −Capture and Engage prices require contacting Purple.
- −Check the exact plan, hardware and integrations needed for your venue.
Fit check: For a free guest-email database, verify Capture pricing rather than assuming the free Connect plan includes contact collection.
StayFi
Vacation rentals and staysStayFi focuses on guest capture and marketing for vacation rentals. WiFi billing uses billable devices across a portfolio, while email marketing is billed by account-level subscriber count. It can collect contacts from guests who use WiFi, beyond the lead booker.
Official sources · checked 7 October 2026: Pricing and hardware requirements · How billable devices and contacts are counted
- Branded splash pages, PMS integrations and automated email tools.
- Email marketing is free up to 200 contacts, subject to its stated conditions.
- StayFi Express works with compatible existing systems; pre-programmed hardware is another option.
- −Budget WiFi devices, hardware, email contacts and optional text credits separately.
- −WiFi marketing requires a StayFi Express device or supported pre-programmed hardware.
- −Confirm how your network setup determines the number of billable devices.
Fit check: A restaurant or retailer should compare its stay-focused workflows with tools aimed at daily venue visits.
Bloom Intelligence
Restaurants and groupsBloom unifies restaurant guest data from WiFi, POS, online ordering, reservations and other sources. Its published tiers separate the customer data platform, campaign automation and reputation/sentiment tools.
Official sources · checked 7 October 2026: Plans, integrations and contract terms
- Single guest profiles across connected data sources.
- Marketer adds email/SMS automation and campaign revenue tracking.
- Enterprise + adds review replies and sentiment analysis.
- −Prices are per location; group rates depend on location count.
- −The base data-platform tier does not include campaign automation.
- −Monthly billing still has a contract; verify terms after the initial 90-day cancellation period.
Fit check: If you only need a portal and guest CSV, compare the total cost and implementation work of its broader restaurant platform.
Aislelabs
Retail, hospitality and propertiesAislelabs combines Flow visitor analytics, Connect guest-data capture and Marketing campaign tools. Packages can combine these modules or begin with an individual product, covering one or many physical locations.
Official sources · checked 7 October 2026: Platform capabilities · Packages and pricing factors
- Footfall, dwell time and zone analytics in Flow.
- Branded portals and consent-based capture in Connect.
- Segmentation and triggered campaigns in Marketing.
- −Pricing depends on venue type, access points, locations, modules and support.
- −Confirm which analytics and campaign modules are included in the quote.
- −Ask for hardware compatibility and a deployment scope for your existing network.
Fit check: If your scope is only a basic email login, request a focused package rather than assuming the full suite is necessary.
Cloudi-Fi
Enterprise access alternativeCloudi-Fi is included as an access-focused alternative. Its current homepage emphasizes centralized guest, BYOD and employee authentication, compliance controls and network access visibility, rather than a venue email-campaign product.
Official sources · checked 7 October 2026: Current access platform and features
- Cloud captive portal with social logins, custom forms and identity-provider options.
- Centralized visibility across sites and devices.
- Infrastructure integrations and access controls for enterprise teams.
- −The homepage does not establish a native review-request or email-automation feature.
- −Pricing enquiries use a quote request.
- −Request the required identity, data and network configuration before evaluating deployment.
Fit check: For a campaign-led purchase, ask Cloudi-Fi to demonstrate the marketing workflow and identify any external tools you will need.
MyWiFi Networks
Agencies and resellersMyWiFi Networks is positioned as a white-label WiFi marketing platform for resellers. It combines branded portals, marketing automation and venue analytics with account tiers based on location and access-point requirements.
Official sources · checked 7 October 2026: White label, automation, trial and tiers
- Custom dashboard domain, sender and portal branding.
- Visit, return and lapse triggers across email, SMS and WhatsApp.
- 14-day trial and published tiers.
- −Check both location and access-point allowances when sizing a plan.
- −Confirm which export, API and support capabilities are included in your tier.
- −Agree who handles venue support, guest-data access and cancellation when reselling.
Fit check: A venue that does not need a reseller brand should compare this scope with a directly operated venue platform.
Four questions that shorten the shortlist
These are the ones buyers tend to ask after signing rather than before.
Name the outcome before the platform
Review volume, repeat visits, direct bookings, and tenant reporting are four different objectives that all get sold as WiFi marketing. Write down which one you will be judged on in twelve months. Half the platforms on this page drop off your list the moment you do.
Check where the campaigns actually run
Some platforms send email themselves. Others expect to push contacts into Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or a CRM you already pay for. Neither is wrong, but paying twice for the same sending capability is a common and avoidable outcome.
Test whether the guest list survives multiple sites
The difference between a group-wide guest database and ten disconnected lists is the difference between segmentation and spreadsheets. Ask specifically whether a guest seen at two venues is one record or two, and ask to see it, not to hear it.
Ask what happens on the day you leave
Export format, contract notice, and whether hardware was bundled decide the cost of changing your mind. Request a full guest CSV export during the trial. A vendor that makes that awkward during courtship will not improve later.
Once you have two or three candidates, the remaining variable is money. Our guest WiFi marketing cost guide walks through the pricing models with worked examples, and the ROI calculator puts your own traffic numbers against them. If you want the access-layer view of the same market, read the companion piece on captive portal software.
Methodology and last updated
Last updated: 9 October 2026. Published by: VoqadoWiFi, which appears as one of the ten platforms.
How to read this comparison. Different venue types require different workflows. We describe the documented product focus and the questions to verify; the table does not assign an overall winner. The entry numbers are identifiers, not ranks or quality scores. Segment fit is our editorial interpretation of the documented workflows.
Inclusion criteria. Actively sold as WiFi marketing or guest engagement software in 2026; serves an identifiable venue segment; capabilities verifiable from public documentation; and offers a distinct approach rather than duplicating another entry. Cloudi-Fi is labeled as an access-focused alternative rather than asserted to have native marketing campaigns. For more access-layer options, see our captive portal software comparison instead.
On prices and claims. Official product, pricing and help pages linked under each entry were checked on 7 October 2026. We describe their published packaging without assuming unpublished prices, setup restrictions or performance. A free trial expires; a free forever tier may have different features from paid plans. We have not independently tested vendor performance or audited their compliance claims. Our own current allowances are read from our plan definitions; email sending remains subject to venue activation. Confirm current pricing, contract terms, integrations and data handling before buying.
Conflict of interest. We sell one of the products on this page. We disclose our hardware limits and unfinished features, link to the primary sources for other products, and avoid declaring an overall winner. Corrections are welcome via the contact page.
