MikroTik gets guests online. Spotipo turns them into customers.
Same router, very different result. The MikroTik native hotspot can authenticate guests once you have wrestled RouterOS into shape, but it captures no data and earns no revenue. Spotipo runs on your MikroTik, delivers the portal reliably across every device, and turns each connection into a lead.
Venues and MSPs that want more than access
Cafes, hotels, retail and MSPs on MikroTik who want automatic email capture, CRM sync, branded splash pages, vouchers and paid WiFi, without maintaining RouterOS workarounds.
A pure auth gateway you maintain yourself
If you know RouterOS well and only need to put guests online with vouchers or a basic login, with no marketing or revenue, the native hotspot can do 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 hotspot 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 HTTPS certificate warnings, and no portals that work on iOS but not Android. Spotipo delivers the splash page reliably across every device, with real human setup help instead of forum threads.
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 WiFi that works and captures leads
You want a branded portal that loads reliably on every device, captures contacts and can charge for access, on the MikroTik router you already run.
You are happy maintaining RouterOS
If you know RouterOS, only need basic auth or vouchers, and do not want marketing or data capture, the native hotspot does that at no extra cost.
Inconsistent captive portal detection is a known RouterOS behaviour, often tied to DNS, HTTPS redirect and walled garden configuration. Spotipo handles detection across iOS, Android, Windows and Mac so the portal triggers the same way on every device.
Certificate errors usually come from HTTPS redirection on the native hotspot. Spotipo serves the portal with proper HTTPS support, which removes the warnings guests would otherwise see.
Not without building a custom external portal against the MikroTik API. Spotipo captures emails and custom fields directly on the splash page and syncs them to your marketing tools automatically.
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.
No. You connect your MikroTik router once using our MikroTik setup guide, and our support team helps if needed. After that, everything is managed from the Spotipo dashboard.
