Beambox made guest WiFi simple, and that matters. But simple has a ceiling: when you want Spin-to-Win engagement, native SMS campaigns, per-venue setup guides for your installer and a UK team on the phone, you have outgrown it. Telexico Connect is the step up that stays simple.
An honest comparison. Where Beambox is genuinely the better fit, we say so below the table — we would rather you choose right than choose us and churn.

Absolute simplicity for a single small site. If one cafe wants email capture and nothing else, ever, Beambox’s flat simplicity is genuinely attractive and you may not need more.
If that is you, we will say so on the call. If it is not, we will show you your own venue running on Telexico before you hang up.
No — arguably easier, because you are never guessing. We build the portal with you on a 15-minute call and hand your installer a field-by-field guide for your exact access point brand, down to each dropdown.
Yes — name, mobile, email and birthday with explicit marketing consent, automated Google review routing, Spin-to-Win vouchers with controlled win rates, SMS and birthday campaigns, and per-venue analytics.
Yes. Telexico runs on the access points you already own. You repoint the splash page and keep everything else.
Telexico starts at £49/month, 30-day rolling, with engagement and marketing included rather than layered on. Compare against your current Beambox invoice on the call — we will do the maths honestly.
Yes — multi-site is native. Each venue gets its own branded portal, its own data, its own setup guide, all under one dashboard.
