Purple Captive Portal
Alternative

Purple is enterprise WiFi, sold through sales. Spotipo is self-serve, built for MSPs and SMBs.

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.

Spotipo vs the Purple Captive 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.

The honest call

When each one is right

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