No. Fydelia is a serious platform with real strengths. Here's where it genuinely shines: European hospitality groups who lean heavily on in-portal surveys / NPS / guest-journey conditional logic and have an account manager budget. If that sounds like you, Fydelia may be the right fit. CaptiFi is built for venues who want simpler pricing, free hardware, and every integration included on every plan.

Fydelia is a sales-led platform popular with European hospitality groups, so moving to CaptiFi is usually about trading account-managed onboarding for a self-serve start you control. You begin a 30-day CaptiFi trial, we ship a free starter device, and you point your access points at the CaptiFi splash page. There is no scoping call to schedule and no estate-size questionnaire to fill in before you can try the product. Your branded splash page rebuilds in CaptiFi with full CSS control, and your guest list and email automations carry across.
Fydelia's real strength is its guest-journey and survey builder, with conditional logic that is deeper than most rivals. CaptiFi keeps surveys simple by comparison, so if in-portal NPS and complex journeys are central to how you operate, that is worth weighing. What CaptiFi adds is breadth on the revenue side: native Toast POS spend-based segmentation, Leat loyalty, Twilio SMS welcomes and automated Google review requests, all included, plus coverage across the US, UK and EU rather than a mostly EU footprint.
Fydelia does not list prices publicly. It is quote-based and typically scoped to the size of your estate, so you need a sales conversation before you know the cost. CaptiFi publishes its prices for every tier, includes a free starter device, bills monthly with no annual lock-in, and bundles every integration at the same tier. Extra sites are a flat GBP25 each. You can read the current figures on the CaptiFi pricing page and start a trial the same day.
Fydelia is an excellent choice for European hospitality groups that lean heavily on in-portal surveys, NPS and conditional guest-journey logic, and that are comfortable with sales-led onboarding and an account-manager relationship. Its journey builder and multi-language splash pages are genuine strengths. If that describes how you run marketing, there is little reason to move. CaptiFi wins when you want transparent self-serve pricing, included hardware, broader integrations across POS, loyalty and SMS, and coverage beyond the EU, without the sales-led onboarding overhead.
