Cloud4Wi vs Cloudi-Fi:
price it today, prove it in 30 days
Both platforms onboard guests, BYOD and IoT devices onto enterprise WiFi from the cloud, with no on-premise appliance. Cloudi-Fi positions around Zero Trust and SASE, with deep integration into Zscaler and Palo Alto Networks. Cloud4Wi covers the same ground and adds Passpoint, PPSK, MDU WiFi and SOC 2 Type II certification — with published pricing from $200 a month and a 30-day trial that needs no credit card.

— THREE PRODUCTS, ONE PLATFORM
Two products head to head. A third they don't have.
Cloudi-Fi competes with us on guest WiFi and Cloud NAC. It does not publish a multi-dwelling product, which matters if your portfolio includes residential.

— SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
Three questions worth asking both vendors
Cloudi-Fi is a serious enterprise platform — it publishes 200+ enterprises, 90+ countries, 500M+ users and devices and 100,000+ secured sites. Most of the feature list is parity. These are the three questions where the two genuinely diverge.
“What will this actually cost, and can I try it before committing?”
Ours is published. Theirs is not.
Cloud4Wi Professional starts from $200/month, self-serve, contracting instantly, with a 30-day trial that needs no credit card. Cloudi-Fi publishes no pricing and no free trial as of September 2026.
“Which SOC 2 or ISO report can you send my security team?”
SOC 2 and CSA STAR.
Cloud4Wi holds SOC 2 Type II certification and CSA STAR compliance. Cloudi-Fi publishes an EcoVadis badge and a “Regular Security Audit” badge — EcoVadis assesses sustainability and responsible business, not security controls. Ask for the report your questionnaire names.
“Do employees have to re-authenticate at every site they visit?”
Not with Passpoint.
Cloud4Wi supports Passpoint and OpenRoaming: enrol once, reconnect silently at every location. Cloudi-Fi does not publish Passpoint or OpenRoaming support on its captive portal or NAC pages.

— FAQ
Before you decide
Cloudi-Fi publishes an EcoVadis 2026 badge and a “Regular Security Audit” badge, but no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 attestation as of September 2026. Cloud4Wi holds SOC 2 Type II certification and CSA STAR compliance. EcoVadis assesses sustainability and responsible business performance rather than security controls, so ask each vendor for the specific report your security questionnaire names.
Cloud4Wi publishes its pricing: Professional starts from $200 per month, self-serve, with instant contracting and a 30-day trial that needs no credit card and does not auto-convert. Cloudi-Fi publishes neither pricing nor a free trial, so evaluating it means entering a sales process first.
Cloudi-Fi does not publish Passpoint or OpenRoaming support on its captive portal or Cloud NAC pages as of September 2026. Cloud4Wi supports both: a user enrols once and reconnects silently at every location, with no login screen. For multi-site estates this is the difference between one onboarding and one per site.
No, with either. Both are cloud-native and keep your switches, access points and controllers in place as enforcement points. Cloud4Wi includes built-in cloud RADIUS and requires no MDM enrolment to bring a user under policy. This is a genuine point of parity and a shared advantage over legacy on-premise NAC such as Cisco ISE and Aruba ClearPass.
Cloudi-Fi does not publish an MDU or multi-dwelling product as of September 2026. Cloud4Wi MDU WiFi gives every resident a Personal Area Network using Private Pre-Shared Key, provisioned automatically from your property management system at move-in and revoked at move-out.
Cloudi-Fi, most likely. Its native integration with Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks and Versa means guest and IoT onboarding inherits policy from tooling you already run, which is a real architectural advantage Cloud4Wi does not match. Cloud4Wi is the better fit when WiFi also has to serve marketing, property teams or residents, not security alone.
