## Key features

- **Calendar and online booking:** Online booking sits on your own website with no fee per appointment, and Express Booking lets clients book and save a card in a few steps.
- **Payments and point of sale:** Take cards in person or online, with cards on file, deposits and self checkout; these need Mangomint's own processing rather than an outside processor.
- **Forms, charting and memberships:** Client forms and charting for spas and medspas, plus memberships, packages, gift cards and a virtual waiting room.
- **Automated flows and campaigns:** Marketing credits pay for targeted campaigns and automated flows; appointment confirmations and reminders by text and email are free and unlimited.
- **Phone add-on:** Call and text clients from one business number on any device for $70 a month per line.
- **Payroll and multi-location:** Payroll pays staff, syncs with QuickBooks and files taxes per location, and multi-location tools share clients and reports across sites.

## Good for

- Salons and spas with several providers and a front desk
- Medspas that need forms and charting alongside booking
- Owners who want month-to-month billing with no contract

## Worth knowing

- 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 24, 2026. Mangomint runs a salon's or spa's calendar, online booking, payments, forms and charting, memberships and retail on one plan with no contract. It costs $120 a location a month plus $10 for every person with a profile, front desk and booth renters included, and campaigns, a phone line and payroll are all sold on top.

- **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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No 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: B.** Calendar, 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: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with Shopify, Mailchimp, QuickBooks, Doxy.me and Docovia. No API on record and no desktop app.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Mangomint you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $1,440 a year.

- You could make: Appointment booking, forms and inventory: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- You could not: Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- You could not: Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Shopify, Mailchimp and QuickBooks among them.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
