Which one is for you
Pick Book4Time if
- Fits if you run a hotel spa or resort wellness centre
- Makes sense if you already use Agilysys systems
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you are a solo practitioner or a small studio, as it is aimed at hotels and large operators
- Skip it if you want a posted price, since the page directs you to a demo
- Watch out: the fullest set of features depends on Agilysys PMS and InfoGenesis POS
- Watch out: no free plan or trial is listed
Pick Mangomint if
- Fits if you run a salon or spa with several providers and a front desk and want month-to-month billing
- Works for medspas that need forms and charting beside the booking calendar
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you have a big team, as every person with a profile, front desk and booth renters too, adds $10 a month
- Pricey if you send campaigns or run payroll: marketing credits are $30 to $300 a month, payroll $50 plus $8 a worker
- Watch out: Express Booking, self checkout, cards on file and deposits need Mangomint's own processing, at 2.45% + 15¢ in person
- Tight if you want a business phone line for calls and texts, at $70 a month per line
- Watch out: the trial's length isn't stated, and there's no free plan to fall back on
How we grade them
| 1.6GPABook4TimeWeak | 2.4GPAMangomintFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published, only a demo and sales contact, so it sits in the middle until one is on record. | C$120 a location a month plus $10 a user, so one person pays $130 and a team of five $170. That's above this category's dearer quarter ($119) but below its dearest tenth, before marketing credits ($30 and up), payroll or a phone line. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial is listed on the pages read. | CNo free plan, but a free trial account loaded with demo data. The listing doesn't say how long it lasts or whether a card is needed. |
| Features | CScheduling, branded booking, yield management, memberships, retail, payroll and enterprise controls. The fullest feature set assumes Agilysys property and point-of-sale systems. | BCalendar, online and Express Booking with no fee per appointment, payments and point of sale, forms and charting, memberships, packages, gift cards, a virtual waiting room, retail stock and staff tools. That's the whole booking job, with payroll and phone as add-ons. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and an enterprise product sold through demos. | CNo app store rating on record. Onboarding and data transfer are free, but you set up services, staff profiles and Mangomint's own card processing before Express Booking and deposits work. |

Worth knowing
Book4Time
- No prices are published; the page directs buyers to a demo and a sales contact.
- It is aimed at hotels, resorts and large wellness operators, not at solo practitioners or small independent studios.
- The vendor positions it as integrated with Agilysys PMS and InfoGenesis POS, so the fullest fit is inside that ecosystem.
Mangomint
- Every person with a profile counts as a $10 user, including front desk staff and booth renters.
- Marketing campaigns need credits: $30 a month for 3,500, rising to $300 for 60,000. Payroll is $50 a month plus $8 per worker.
- Card fees are 2.45% + 15¢ in person and 2.90% + 30¢ for virtual payments; large businesses may qualify for custom rates.
- An outside card processor can be used, but Express Booking, self checkout, cards on file and deposits need Mangomint's own processing.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
