Hi Petros, Nicolas,

I guess it depends on how you define your needs.  There are a few things that might be worth taking a quick look at.

Daloradius (http://www.daloradius.com/) is a full-featured billing system that is Open Source and supports both voucher and post-paid billing options.  It has a captive portal.
Freeside (http://freeside.biz/freeside/) is a full ISP management system that supports voucher and captive portal among many other features.  
RadiusDesk (https://sourceforge.net/projects/radiusdesk/) is Open Source and has billing/captive portal features

None of the above will run on a WiFi AP but are designed as a gateway server software that would need probably something like an Intel NUC or similar to run.

There is also PfSense (https://www.pfsense.org/), and a host of similar software, that are network gateway/security solutions designed to run on small memory/cpu footprint devices that also includes a captive portal but no voucher systems.

Cheers... Steve Song

None that I know of.
there might be a way using nodogsplash and a radius server, but never
tried.
