UniFi Native Captive Portal
Alternative

UniFi gets guests online. Spotipo turns them into customers.

Same hardware, very different outcome. The UniFi native portal gets guests online and stops there. Spotipo runs on top of your UniFi controller and turns that connection into captured leads, CRM sync and revenue, with reliable portal delivery across every device.

Venues and MSPs that want marketing from WiFi

Cafes, hotels, retail and MSPs on UniFi who want automatic email capture, CRM sync, branded splash pages, vouchers and paid WiFi, live on the hardware they already own.

BEST FOR
UniFi Native Captive Portal

Basic guest internet, nothing more

If all you need is to put guests online behind a simple login or Facebook auth, with no email capture, CRM sync, marketing or revenue, the built-in UniFi portal already covers that.

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.

Data

Capture the data UniFi throws away

UniFi 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.

Reliability

Portal delivery that just works

No more iPhone no-internet errors or portals that fail to appear. Spotipo delivers the splash page reliably across iOS, Android, Windows and Mac, with real human setup help if a controller is stubborn.

Revenue

Marketing and revenue, built in

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.

The honest call

When each one is right

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

Choose Spotipo

You want leads and revenue from guest WiFi

You want a branded portal that captures contacts, syncs to your tools and can charge for access, on the UniFi gear you already run.

Choose UniFi Native Captive Portal

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 UniFi portal does that at no extra cost.
