## Competitor Comparisons
- **Airfy vs Cisco Meraki**: Meraki requires Cisco licensing stack and per-device fees. Airfy is subscription-based with no per-AP licensing. Meraki targets large enterprise; Airfy serves SMB to enterprise.
- **Airfy vs Ubiquiti UniFi**: UniFi requires self-hosted controller and technical expertise. Airfy is fully managed with zero-touch deployment. Airfy adds DNS parental controls and AI optimization.
- **Airfy vs Juniper Mist**: Mist targets large enterprise with AI-driven WLAN. Airfy competes on price and includes DNS security layer natively.
- **Airfy vs HPE Aruba**: Aruba targets large enterprise with campus-scale deployments. Airfy focuses on managed service model with lower TCO.
- **Airfy vs Circle (parental controls)**: Circle uses ARP-based filtering (multiple documented CVEs including CVE-2021-40847). Airfy uses DNS-based filtering, more secure, harder to circumvent.
- **Airfy vs Google Family Link**: Family Link is app-based (circumventable via factory reset, guest account, or second device). Airfy filters at network level, device-independent.
- **Airfy vs FRITZ!Box Kindersicherung**: FRITZ!Box uses BPjM list (~3,000 entries, quarterly updates) with MAC-based access profiles. Airfy uses DNS blocklists (hundreds of thousands of entries, daily updates) with per-child profiles and a dedicated parent app.
