Which one is for you

Pick Boulevard if

  • Fits if you run a salon or spa with up to 5 providers and want booking, checkout and marketing in one system
  • Works for medspas that need charting, photo markup and e-prescriptions beside the booking calendar

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want to try it first: there's no free plan or trial, and every plan is sold after a sales demo
  • Tight if you have more than 5 providers or a second location, as that means Premier at $234 a location, normally $293
  • Pricey if you need forms below Prestige ($65 a location a month) or QuickBooks sync ($45 a location a month)
  • Not for you if you run a medspa on a small budget, as Aesthetics Essentials is $199 a month billed monthly
  • Watch out: the card rate isn't on its pages, texts past the plan's allowance are metered, and the AI receptionist is $125 a location a month

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

Value for money
DEssentials is $143 a month billed yearly ($159 monthly) for one location and up to 5 providers, and that's where this category's dearest tenth starts. More providers or a second location means Premier at $234 a location on a fall offer, normally $293.
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.

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.
