Purple Captive Portal
Alternative

UniFi gets guests online. Spotipo turns them into customers.

Same problem, two very different ways to buy it. Purple is sold through demos, quotes and professional services, with strengths built for large enterprise estates. Spotipo is the self-serve captive portal you run on the routers you already own, from a single cafe to a large multi-site operator, with transparent pricing and real people who help you get live, no sales gate.

WHY TEAMS SWITCH

Three things a built-in router portal cannot do

A built-in portal is made to authenticate, not to grow a business. These are the gaps people leave it for.

Pricing

No sales gate, price in the open

Trial, build and go live with no demo or quote. Purple starts with a booked demo and an enterprise quote. Our pricing is published.

Setup

Real humans help you set up

The one fiddly step is router setup, so you get direct support and per-brand guides, not a services contract reserved for big deals.

Roadmap

Ask for a feature, we build it

Small and independent, so we develop features with our customers, especially MSPs. If you need something, it gets built instead of joining a multi-year enterprise backlog. You talk to the people who build the product.

The honest call

When each one is right

It comes down to whether guest WiFi is just access, or a channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Trial, build and go live without a demo or quote. Purple starts with a booked demo and a sales-led process.

You get direct human support and per-brand setup guides for UniFi, MikroTik, Omada and more. We help you through the one fiddly step instead of gating it behind a services contract.

Yes, 30+ brands with no firmware changes and no lock-in. Broader prosumer coverage than Purple, which focuses on enterprise access points.

Yes. Manage multiple clients from one dashboard and white-label the splash pages, invoices and admin login. A core product, not an add-on.

It depends on what you need. Its strengths are multi-tenant WiFi, deep footfall analytics and enterprise compliance, and the pricing and onboarding reflect that. If you do not specifically need those, the overhead rarely pays back, whatever your size.
