How we grade them
| 2.4GPAMangomintFair | 1.8GPAZenotiWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CNo price is published. Every plan is a quote, so cost cannot be set against the $49.90 middle of the category. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | FNo free plan and no trial on record, so you pay before you use it. |
| Features | 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.

| Ease of use | 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. | CNo store rating on record. A multi-site business has a long set-up before it works. |

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.
