CaptiveWiFi vs Wireless Social

CaptiveWiFi is a guest WiFi and captive portal platform built exclusively for hospitality — a WiFi login becomes a verified, GDPR-compliant guest profile that enrols the guest in loyalty in about 15 seconds, syncs live to your CRM across 50+ integrations, and appears on a real-time front-of-house dashboard. Wireless Social provides a branded WiFi login and basic guest-data capture. CaptiveWiFi adds native loyalty enrolment at login, a live guest dashboard, gamification and weekly competitor intelligence, and your venue owns the guest data. Note that Wireless Social typically involves contract lock-in with a minimum 3-month termination notice, is often priced per access point (which gets expensive for larger venues), and enrols guests into a Wireless Social account.

Wireless Social typically involves a contract with a minimum 3-month termination notice, so leaving is harder than a rolling plan. CaptiveWiFi is billed annually or monthly with no long-term contract, and you can start free. Confirm current terms with each vendor.

It is often priced per access point, which gets more expensive as a venue adds access points. CaptiveWiFi is a flat per-venue price regardless of access-point count.

With CaptiveWiFi your venue is the data controller and owns the guest data; it is never sold or used for CaptiveWiFi's own marketing, and is shared only with the integrations you choose to connect and our infrastructure providers, under GDPR data-processing agreements, or where disclosure is required by law. Wireless Social enrols guests into a Wireless Social account, so guest data is shared with the vendor.

CaptiveWiFi has a Starter plan that is free forever for a single venue. Wireless Social is a paid, entry-level branded portal.
