Meraki gets guests online. Spotipo turns them into customers.
Same network, very different result. The Meraki native portal authenticates guests when the redirect cooperates, but it captures no data and runs no campaigns. Spotipo layers on your Meraki network, delivers the splash page reliably across browsers, and turns each connection into a lead.
Venues and MSPs that want marketing from WiFi
Cafes, hotels, retail and MSPs on Meraki who want automatic email capture, CRM sync, branded splash pages, vouchers and paid WiFi, without the per-SSID Dashboard setup.
Basic guest internet, nothing more
If all you need is to put guests online behind a basic login or Facebook auth, with no email capture, CRM sync, marketing or revenue, the built-in Meraki portal already covers that.
Works with your hardware, 30+ brands
A built-in portal is made to authenticate, not to grow a business. These are the gaps people leave it for.
The native portal authenticates guests but does not collect or sync contact details. Spotipo captures email, phone and custom fields and syncs them to your CRM and email tools automatically.
No browser-dependent redirect failures, and no per-SSID Dashboard fiddling. Spotipo delivers the portal consistently across browsers and operating systems.
Branded splash pages, bulk vouchers, paid WiFi via Stripe, behaviour-triggered campaigns and a real-time dashboard. None of it ships with the native portal.
Honest, including where the other option wins. The rows that usually decide it: what you capture, how the portal behaves, and what you can do with the data.
It comes down to whether guest WiFi is just access, or a channel.
You want leads and revenue from guest WiFi
You want a branded portal that loads reliably across browsers, captures contacts and can charge for access, on the Meraki network you already run.
You only need to get guests online
If a basic login with no data capture, marketing or revenue is genuinely all you need, the native Meraki portal does that within your existing licensing.
Meraki portal detection can fail on Chrome while working on Edge, and VPN or certificate issues can interrupt the redirect. Spotipo delivers the portal consistently across browsers and operating systems.
Meraki captures email mainly through Facebook login, and the data has to be exported manually. Spotipo captures emails and custom fields directly and syncs them to your CRM and email tools automatically.
No. Spotipo layers on top of your existing Meraki network, so you keep the hardware and add the guest experience and marketing features.

Yes. Manage every client site from one dashboard and white-label the splash pages, invoices and admin login. It is a core product, not an add-on.
