Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 6 of the 15 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade
Mangomint is booking and business software for salons, spas, medspas, barbershops and other appointment businesses. It covers the calendar, online and Express Booking, payments and point of sale, client records, forms and charting, memberships, retail stock and staff management. The price is set per location and per user, with phone, marketing and payroll sold as add-ons.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Mangomint, taken from its own pages and our grades.

Best for salons and spas with a front desk

Free trial account with demo data; its length is not stated
- 4

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.
- 6
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.
- 7
Forms, charting and memberships
Client forms and charting for spas and medspas, plus memberships, packages, gift cards and a virtual waiting room.

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.

The report card
Best for salons and spas with a front desk
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Mangomint is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could make
- Appointment booking, forms and inventory: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, Mailchimp and QuickBooks among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Mangomint’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
