Purple is built for airports, stadiums and global enterprise estates. If you run restaurants, bars, gyms, dealerships or salons in the UK — you are paying for scale you will never use. Telexico Connect gives you the data capture, reviews and marketing without the enterprise overhead.
An honest comparison. Where Purple is genuinely the better fit, we say so below the table — we would rather you choose right than choose us and churn.

Genuine enterprise scale. If you are a shopping centre group, stadium or airport running tens of thousands of concurrent sessions with SLA procurement requirements, Purple’s enterprise tier is built for exactly that.
Global multi-country estates. Operating across many countries with regional data residency requirements is Purple’s home turf.
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.
For typical UK venues, substantially — Telexico starts at £49/month on a 30-day rolling basis with data capture, review growth, Spin-to-Win and SMS marketing included. Purple is quote-based and aimed at enterprise; always confirm their current pricing directly.
Yes. Telexico runs as an external captive portal on the hardware you already own — Grandstream, UniFi, Omada, MikroTik, Aruba, Meraki and others. You repoint the splash page; nothing is re-cabled.
No. Export your customer list from Purple before you switch and we import it, so your database keeps growing rather than starting again.
One afternoon. We rebuild your splash on the first call, hand you a field-by-field guide for your exact AP, and you can parallel-run both platforms before flipping fully.
Yes — UK company, explicit marketing consent captured on every connection, and guests can be removed on request. Data capture happens before the WiFi hand-off, so consent is never ambiguous.
