Comparison

stampedevs Airship

Airship is a capable hospitality CRM for email and SMS. Stampede is a full guest platform: it captures guests on Wi-Fi, takes bookings, runs loyalty and reviews natively, and markets from one owned profile.

The short version

The short version.

Choose Airship if
  • You already run Zonal EPOS and want a CRM in the same family.
  • You are happy for Wi-Fi, bookings and reviews to come from separate integrations.
  • You want a hospitality CRM with a deep third-party integrations catalogue.
Choose Stampede if
  • You want Wi-Fi capture, bookings, loyalty and reviews native, not stitched from integrations.
  • You want a real points-and-tiers loyalty programme, not just offers.
  • You want one system of record, not a CRM sitting on top of everyone else’s data.
  • You want an independent platform, not one acquired twice into a foreign roll-up.
The core difference

Native, or ingested.

Airship is a CRM layer that ingests data from other tools: its Wi-Fi, bookings and reviews all arrive through third-party integrations (its Wi-Fi connector even reads from Stampede). Stampede owns the capture itself, so bookings, Wi-Fi, payments and reviews start in one place rather than being pulled together from a stack of separate systems.

Switching

Switching from Airship.

Keep the email and SMS marketing you rely on, and stop stitching Wi-Fi, bookings and reviews together from separate tools. We bring your contacts and consent across and switch it on.

  • We import your contacts and marketing consent for you
  • Onboarding is guided and included, not a DIY import
  • One native platform instead of a CRM plus a stack of integrations
