Beambox charges per venue, which means costs scale linearly as you add clients. MyWiFi Networks offers full white-label from $49/month (custom domain, branded dashboard, complete brand removal), supports 20+ hardware vendors vs. Beambox's limited hardware list, and provides reseller-grade infrastructure (multi-client management, Sales CRM, subuser accounts). At 20 venues, Beambox's top-tier pricing can exceed $1,600/month while MyWiFi's Agency plan covers 20 locations at $499/month with deeper capabilities. ![Beambox](https://logo.clearbit.com/beambox.com) Beambox is a WiFi marketing platform that sells directly to venue operators — restaurants, hotels, retail stores, and gyms. The product is well-designed for its intended user: a single venue owner who wants to capture guest emails through WiFi and run basic marketing campaigns. Beambox's interface is simple, the setup is fast, and the per-venue pricing starts low. The limitation becomes clear the moment you're not a single venue owner. You're an MSP managing 15 clients. An agency selling WiFi marketing as a service. A VAR bundling WiFi marketing with hardware deployments. At that point, Beambox's product architecture — designed for individual venue operators — creates friction at every level: pricing, branding, management, and scale. --- ## The White-Label gap ### What Beambox offers Beambox describes their white-labeling as "custom branding" on the captive portal: - Your logo on the splash page - Custom colors and styling - Beambox branding reduced but not eliminated - The dashboard remains Beambox-branded - No custom dashboard domain - No white-labeled client accounts This is cosmetic white-labeling. Your captive portal has your logo, but your client logs into a Beambox dashboard. Reports carry Beambox branding. The moment your client Googles "Beambox," they know exactly what platform you're using. ### What MyWiFi offers MyWiFi's white-label is architectural, not cosmetic: - **Custom dashboard domain:** `wifi.youragency.com` with auto-provisioned SSL certificate - **Complete brand removal:** Zero MyWiFi branding in the dashboard, portals, reports, or emails - **Branded subuser accounts:** Your clients log into a dashboard that shows only your brand - **Custom portal domains:** Separate vanity domains for captive portals - **White-label reports:** Automated client reports carry your logo and brand - **Branded support links:** Your support email, knowledge base, and help center links - **Custom "powered by" footer:** Your brand, not MyWiFi's This is the difference between putting a sticker on someone else's product and owning a product under your brand. For resellers, that difference determines whether you're building a dependent service or a standalone brand.

According to their published pricing (as of early 2026): - **Grow plan:** $25/venue/month — Basic captive portal, email capture, simple automation - **Pro plan:** $45/venue/month — Advanced automation, custom branding, analytics - **Enterprise:** Custom pricing — Multi-location, priority support At 1 venue: $25-$45/month. Competitive. At 10 venues: $250-$450/month. Getting expensive. At 20 venues: $500-$900/month. Significantly more than MyWiFi — without white-label or reseller infrastructure. ### MyWiFi pricing | Plan | Monthly | Locations | APs Included | |------|---------|-----------|--------------| | Starter | $49/mo | 1 | 5 | | Pro | $199/mo | 5 | 25 | | Agency | $499/mo | 20 | 100 | | MSP | $999/mo | Unlimited | 200 | At 20 venues (assuming 2 APs per venue = 40 APs): - **MyWiFi:** Agency plan ($499) + 40 APs at $3.50/AP ($140) = **$639/month** - **Beambox Pro:** 20 x $45 = **$900/month** MyWiFi costs less, includes [full white-label stack](/features/white-label), reseller infrastructure, and 20+ hardware vendors. The price advantage widens at scale. At 50 venues: - **MyWiFi:** MSP plan ($999) + 100 APs at $3.00/AP ($300) = **$1,299/month** - **Beambox Pro:** 50 x $45 = **$2,250/month** (assuming volume pricing isn't available) See the full [pricing comparison](/pricing) to model the economics for your specific location count. --- ## Feature comparison | Feature | Beambox | MyWiFi Networks | |---------|---------|-----------------| | White-label (full) | Partial (portal only) | Full (dashboard, portal, reports, domain) | | Pricing model | Per venue | Flat platform + per-AP tiers | | Hardware vendors | Limited (own hardware focus) | 20+ vendors | | Reseller portal | No | Yes | | Multi-client management | No | Yes (subuser accounts, groups) | | WhatsApp WiFi login | No | Yes (white-label) | | Sales CRM | No | Yes (preview links, lead management) | | Marketing automation | Yes (basic-moderate) | Yes (full: triggers, delays, filters, webhooks) | | Ad server | No | Yes (Agency+ plans) | | API access | Limited | Full developer API (MSP+ plans) | | Captive portal builder | Yes | Yes (WYSIWYG drag-and-drop) | | Authentication methods | Email, social | 9 methods including WhatsApp, SMS, SSO | | 14-day free trial | Yes | Yes | | Operating countries | Global | 54+ countries | --- ## The reseller infrastructure gap This is where the product architectures diverge most sharply. Beambox is built for venue operators. One owner, one venue (or a few). The management interface, the pricing model, and the feature set all reflect this: - No centralized reseller dashboard - No multi-client management - No subuser accounts with granular permissions - No reseller-grade reporting across a client portfolio - No Sales CRM for prospecting and demo delivery MyWiFi is built for resellers. The entire platform assumes you're managing multiple clients across multiple locations: - **Multi-client management:** Group locations by client, manage permissions per client, see portfolio-level analytics - **Subuser accounts:** Give each client their own login with access to only their locations and data - **Sales CRM:** Generate live preview links for prospecting, manage leads, track demo engagement - **Client onboarding widget:** Embeddable form on your website that streamlines new client setup - **Group-level reporting:** Cross-client analytics for portfolio performance reviews - **Centralized billing:** One invoice from MyWiFi; you set your own pricing to each client According to Channel Futures' 2025 MSP Market Report, the average MSP manages 42 client relationships simultaneously. Managing 42 clients on a per-venue platform without reseller infrastructure is operationally unsustainable. --- ## Hardware flexibility Beambox has historically been focused on their own hardware or a limited set of compatible devices. Their primary offering includes Beambox-provided hardware (routers with pre-configured firmware). MyWiFi supports [20+ hardware vendors](/hardware) natively: Cisco Meraki, Ubiquiti UniFi, Aruba, Ruckus, Extreme Networks, TP-Link Omada, MikroTik, Cradlepoint, Peplink, EnGenius, Datto, OpenWrt, Fortinet, Sophos, and more. For resellers, hardware flexibility means: - **Use existing hardware.** If the client already has APs deployed, use them. No rip-and-replace. - **Match hardware to budget.** TP-Link for price-sensitive SMBs, UniFi for mid-market, Meraki for enterprise. - **Mixed-vendor portfolios.** Different clients, different hardware — one WiFi marketing platform. --- ## Who should stay with Beambox Beambox serves its intended market well: - **Single venue operators** managing their own restaurant, gym, or hotel WiFi - **Small businesses** that want simple WiFi marketing without reseller complexity - **Venue owners** who don't need white-label (they're the end user, not a reseller) If you're a restaurant owner who wants to capture guest emails from your own establishment, Beambox works. --- ## Who should switch to MyWiFi Switch from Beambox when: - **You're managing more than 5 venues** — per-venue pricing erodes margins - **You need real white-label** — custom domain, branded dashboard, complete brand removal - **You're a reseller** — MSP, agency, VAR building a branded service - **Your clients run diverse hardware** — not just Beambox's default hardware - **You need marketing automation depth** — triggers, delays, filters, SMS, [WhatsApp](/blog/whatsapp-wifi-login-native), webhooks - **You want transparent pricing** — model your margins before committing --- ## Migration from Beambox to MyWiFi Beambox deployments are typically simple — single AP, single venue: 1. **Hardware assessment.** If the venue's existing hardware is on MyWiFi's [supported list](/hardware), keep it. If the venue is using Beambox-specific hardware, replace with any supported AP (starting at $40 for OpenWrt-compatible routers, $80 for TP-Link Omada). 2. **Export guest data.** Export customer email/phone lists from Beambox as CSV. Import into MyWiFi. 3. **Recreate portals.** Build branded captive portals in MyWiFi's WYSIWYG editor. 4. **Configure automation.** Set up welcome campaigns, re-engagement sequences, and any custom automations. 5. **Timeline:** 1-2 hours per venue. The small deployment size of typical Beambox installations means migration is measured in hours, not weeks.

MyWiFi offers full automation with configurable triggers (connect, disconnect, inactive, birthday), delay steps, audience filters (demographic/behavioral segmentation), and multi-channel actions (email, SMS, webhook, CRM sync). **Can I try MyWiFi before committing to a full migration?** Yes. Start with MyWiFi's 14-day free trial. Run a pilot at 1-2 locations while keeping Beambox active at the others. Once you verify the portal, analytics, and automation meet your needs, migrate the remaining locations. **Is Beambox cheaper for a single venue?** At a single venue, Beambox starts at $25/month while MyWiFi's Starter is $49/month. If you're a single venue operator with no reseller ambitions, Beambox is less expensive. If you're a reseller planning to grow beyond one location, MyWiFi's platform pricing advantage kicks in at 5+ venues. **Does MyWiFi support Beambox's existing hardware?** It depends on the specific hardware model. Beambox uses various router and AP models. If they run OpenWrt-compatible firmware or are from a supported vendor (TP-Link, Ubiquiti, etc.), they may work with MyWiFi. Contact MyWiFi support with the specific hardware model for compatibility confirmation. **What about Beambox's reputation management features?** Beambox includes review request tools. MyWiFi handles review requests through marketing automation: set a trigger for post-visit (e.g., 24 hours after WiFi disconnect), send a templated email or SMS asking for a Google/Yelp review. The workflow is the same; the implementation is through automation triggers rather than a dedicated review module. *Income Disclaimer: Revenue and margin projections in this article are illustrative examples based on published pricing.
