Pricing
What you pay.
One flat price per venue
The whole platform, priced per venue and sized to your estate on one call.
- Wi-Fi capture, bookings, loyalty, reviews and marketing all included
- One platform, so nothing is priced as a separate integration
- You get the number in the first conversation, flat per venue
- Your guest data is yours to keep and export at any time
Captive WiFi
Published per-venue Wi-Fi plans
A free Starter plan for one venue, then Growth at £33 per venue per month billed annually (£40 monthly); Enterprise is custom.
- Starter is free for a single venue with no integrations; Growth adds integrations, feedback and advanced reporting
- Runs as software over your existing Wi-Fi hardware (17 vendors listed), no proprietary box
- Email marketing, loyalty and bookings depend on third-party integrations
- A focused capture tool rather than a full guest platform
Why switch
The short version.
Why venues switch to
- You want Wi-Fi capture and bookings, loyalty, reviews and marketing in one platform.
- You want to act on the guest, not just push their details to another system.
- You want one owned guest profile, not a capture tool feeding a stack of separate tools.
- You want the marketing, loyalty and reviews included, not bolted on by integration.
- You want your data future-proofed for AI, with one guest record rather than a capture layer syncing into other tools.
Where it falls short
Captive WiFi only fits if
- You only want a Wi-Fi capture layer and already run your CRM, loyalty and bookings elsewhere.
- You want a simple branded splash page that syncs into those tools.
- A lightweight point tool suits you better than a platform.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Yes. Both capture guests through a branded Wi-Fi portal. The difference is what happens next: Captive WiFi syncs the data into your other tools, while Stampede acts on it directly, with bookings, a points loyalty programme, review management and marketing native in one platform.
Because AI is only as good as the data beneath it. Captive WiFi captures the Wi-Fi login and syncs it to other tools, so bookings, loyalty and marketing each sit in a different system. On Stampede, every booking, Wi-Fi login, Square payment, loyalty point and review lands on one guest record as it happens, so our AI agent answers from your data, not a guess, and asks before it acts.
Very little on capture, they are close there. Captive WiFi is a focused capture-and-sync tool, so its email, loyalty, bookings and automation come from third-party integrations. Stampede includes those natively, so you are not stitching a stack of tools together.
Yes. We set Stampede up on your existing Wi-Fi, bring your captured contacts across and switch it on.
Not natively. It captures the guest and pushes the data into third-party email, loyalty and booking tools. In Stampede, email marketing, loyalty and reviews are built in and feed the same profile the Wi-Fi capture creates.
