Mangomint review 2026: pricing, add-ons and the catches

By Booking Shortlist · Published · Updated · Prices checked on · Based on public documentation

Disclosure: Our #1 pick is MeetScarlet, and we are affiliated with them. We also cover competing tools and where they shine. We may earn commissions from links on this page. Details

The short answer: Mangomint is salon and spa software with one plan: $120 a month per location plus $10 per user, with unlimited text and email reminders, published card rates and free data transfer. The catches: every staff profile is a paid user, two-way texting and campaigns cost extra, fees are non-refundable, and cancelling ends access to your data. Our #1 pick, MeetScarlet, includes a branded client app, and its terms say “Scarlet is live”, but its appointments help says “no live card payment has been run yet”. Checked November 5, 2026.

Key takeaways

  • Mangomint has one plan: $120 a month per location plus $10 a month per user, so a solo provider pays $130 a month before add-ons (checked November 5, 2026).
  • Every profile counts as a paid user, including front-desk staff and booth renters.
  • Unlimited text and email confirmations and reminders are included. Two-way texting needs the $70-a-month Phone add-on, and campaigns and automated flows need marketing credits (plans from $30 a month, or 1 cent per credit pay as you go).
  • Card rates are published: 2.45% + 15¢ in person and 2.90% + 30¢ online through Mangomint's own payments. You can bring your own processor, but you lose cards on file, deposits, Express Booking and self checkout.
  • There's no contract, but fees are non-refundable, and its terms say cancelling ends your access to your account data, so export first.
  • Onboarding and data transfer are free, and teams of 2 or more providers get a dedicated onboarding specialist.

What Mangomint is (and isn’t)

Mangomint’s homepage says “Everything you need to power your salon and spa”, with “Booking, payments, automations, and more”. Its terms describe software “designed for salons, spas, and other beauty and wellness businesses”, run in a web app and the Mangomint mobile app.

Its solution pages cover hair and nail salons, barbershops, spas, med spas, massage studios, skincare, wellness centers and more. So it’s relevant to our barbershop, spa and massage readers.

What it isn’t: class software, court software or tanning software. We found no Mangomint page for fitness studios or padel clubs. Tanning appears once, in a beauty-studio FAQ, with no bed or session tools found. We found no client app and no marketplace.

How we reviewed Mangomint

  • We read Mangomint’s pricing page and its August 2026 price-change article on November 5, 2026.
  • We read its Terms of Service (last updated July 2, 2026), Payments Terms and Additional Product Terms.
  • We read its booking, scheduling, memberships, payments, reporting and app pages, and help articles on credits, group services, memberships, HIPAA, exports and switching.
  • We looked up third-party ratings on the App Store, Google Play, Trustpilot and G2, labelled as other people’s opinions. Capterra blocked our request.
  • We haven’t used Mangomint hands-on, so we couldn’t count booking steps or time a setup. This review is documentation-based.

Our method explains how we put pages together.

Mangomint pricing (checked November 5, 2026)

Since August 1, 2026, Mangomint has “only one simple plan for all Mangomint customers”. Its pricing page says: “Monthly price is $120 per location and $10 per user.” We found no annual price.

ItemPriceNotes
The plan, per location$120 a month“Full access to a complete platform and core features”
Users$10 a month each“Anyone with a profile in Mangomint counts as a user”, including service providers and front desk staff
Phone add-on$70 a month per line“Includes unlimited calls and texts”; needed for two-way texting with clients
Marketing add-onFrom $30 a month3,500 credits for $30, up to 60,000 for $300; or pay as you go at “1 cent per credit”
Payroll add-on$50 a month plus $8 per workerPay your team, sync with QuickBooks and file taxes
Mira AI receptionistNot published“Log into your Mangomint account to see pricing”; billed separately and non-refundable
US card reader$99, plus shippingConnects to the Mangomint iOS app over Bluetooth
For comparison: MeetScarlet (our #1 pick)$349/month plus $999 one-time setup, or $3,490 a year with setup freeOne location with 5 staff logins and a branded iPhone, Android and web app. Scarlet Pro (20 logins and, per its terms, up to 3 locations) is $499/month plus $999 setup, or $4,990 a year

Sources: Mangomint’s pricing page, its price-change article, its marketing credits article and its store, checked November 5, 2026. Prices are in US dollars.

By our arithmetic, one location costs $130 a month for 1 user, $150 for 3 and $220 for 10, before add-ons, tax, card fees and hardware. Each extra location adds $120. Deactivated and archived users don’t count, and someone working at several locations counts once. Existing customers whose price would have gone up kept their old price. Compare what other booking apps cost.

What marketing credits buy: an email campaign uses “1 marketing credit per email”, a text campaign “Starts at 2 marketing credits per text”, an automated-flow email 5 credits and an automated-flow text “Starts at 10”. Review requests and rebooking reminders are sent through automated flows, so they use credits too.

Card payments and other fees:

Fee or ruleWhat Mangomint says
Mangomint Pay, in person“2.45% + 15¢ per successful transaction”
Mangomint Pay, online“2.90% + 30¢ per successful transaction”
Large businesses“may qualify for custom rates”, including interchange-plus pricing
PayoutsWithin “1-3 business days” when set to daily; a weekly deposit limit applies
Your own processorAllowed, but “you’ll need Mangomint’s payment processing to use many of our advanced features, Express Booking™, self checkout, cards-on-file, and deposits”
Reminders“Unlimited text and email appointment confirmations and reminders are included at no additional cost”
Booking feesNone: “we’ll never take a fee on bookings made in Mangomint”
ChargebacksNo fee published
For comparison: MeetScarlet (our #1 pick)Card payments in its app are Stripe’s fees plus 1%, through your own Stripe account, and turn on once Stripe finishes checking that account. Its appointments help still says “no live card payment has been run yet”, so check with MeetScarlet before counting on card deposits or no-show fees (checked November 5, 2026). We found no price for its email and text automation bundle

Sources: the pricing page, payments page, payment processing FAQ and online booking page, checked November 5, 2026. Its Payments Terms let Mangomint change processing fees on 30 days’ notice.

Contracts, cancelling and your data

The pricing FAQ says “We don’t do contracts or have hidden fees” and “Yes, you can cancel at any time and for any reason.” The Terms of Service say the subscription renews for another term of the same length until you cancel, so cancel before your next billing date. You cancel in your account, by email or by chat.

As written, the terms also say:

  • “All fees for your monthly Subscription are non-refundable”, and you’re “ineligible for a pro-rated refund”.
  • Fees can change with “30 days’ prior notice to you via email”.
  • Billing disputes must be raised “within thirty (30) days”, and overdue amounts carry “1.5% of the outstanding balance per month”.
  • Mangomint’s liability is capped at the fees you paid in the three months before a claim. The terms follow Delaware law, with courts in San Francisco.

Your data is the big catch. The pricing page says “If you decide to leave, you can take all of your data with you.” The terms say “Cancellation of your Subscription means that you will no longer have access to your Account or your Account Data”, that data is archived “within six (6) months”, and that help retrieving it may carry “additional fees”. You can export the client list yourself as a CSV file (desktop only), and several reports as Excel files. Export before you cancel.

Booking, memberships and reports

Mangomint is built for appointments. Clients book online with no account needed, can book for several guests, and get add-ons and your cancellation policy at booking. It has Express Booking™ by text, an Intelligent Waitlist, group and repeating appointments, rooms and resources, processing and buffer time, staff schedules and a virtual waiting room (scheduling page).

Classes are a workaround. Its group services FAQ recommends “a resource-only service instead of a group service if you need to set up an event or class”, and online group size “can only be set to up to five clients”.

Memberships can be service-based or an account balance, with automatic billing, pause and cancel, plus packages, signed agreements, gift cards, deposits, cards on file and client self-checkout (memberships page). When a membership payment fails, “The system will make four more charge attempts within seven days” (memberships FAQ). Booth renters can have their own booking links, payment accounts and products under one account.

Reports cover business intelligence, client retention, sales, payroll with hours, commission and tips, staff, payments and inventory, with Excel downloads (reporting page). Pay structures can be tiered commission or salary, and there’s a time clock.

HIPAA is available with a signed BAA, but “You must request HIPAA enablement by contacting Mangomint Support” (HIPAA article). We found no HIPAA fee on the pricing page; its terms still mention fees for a HIPAA-enabled plan, so ask.

Clients don’t get an app. The Mangomint app in the App Store and Google Play is for running the business (mobile apps page). Clients manage visits and memberships in a client portal where “Clients do not need a username or password”.

Switching to Mangomint

Onboarding is free and “Includes free data transfer”. “All teams of 2+ providers receive a dedicated onboarding specialist”, and the pricing page says many businesses are “up-and-running in as little as two weeks”. Its FAQ says “We can transfer clients, products, and gift cards, and in many cases additional things like notes, services, transaction and appointment history.” It doesn’t name memberships or saved cards, so ask how those move.

There’s a free trial with sample data, but we found no trial length. For card-present payments, the US reader pairs with the Mangomint iOS app, and the Front Desk Display needs an iPad you buy yourself. We found no Android option, so ask if your shop uses Android.

What Mangomint does well

  • One plan, priced in public: $120 per location plus $10 per user, with core features included.
  • Reminders included: unlimited text and email confirmations and reminders at no extra cost.
  • Published card rates, and the option to bring your own processor.
  • Membership billing that retries failed cards four more times within seven days.
  • Deep salon reports and pay tools: commission, tips, payroll and inventory reports, plus booth-renter support.
  • Free onboarding and data transfer, often including appointment and transaction history.
  • No marketplace and no booking fees.

Where Mangomint falls short

  • Every profile is a paid user. Its pricing page says “This includes any staff, like service providers and front desk employees” (pricing page).
  • Messaging extras cost more. Two-way texting needs Phone at $70 a month per line, and campaigns and flows need credits, from $30 a month or 1 cent each (price-change article).
  • Your own processor loses key tools: cards on file, deposits, Express Booking and self checkout.
  • No refunds, and its terms end your access to account data when you cancel.
  • In-person payments look Apple-only. The reader connects to the iOS app; we found no Android card reader.
  • No class timetable found, no client app and no marketplace to bring in new clients.
  • No support phone line or status page found. Support is chat and email, which it says runs “7 days a week, 365 days a year” (why Mangomint page, a vendor claim).
  • Some details aren’t published: Mira’s price and the trial length.

Mangomint reviews and complaints

Third-party opinion, not our own research: on November 5, 2026, Mangomint’s business app averaged 4.5 out of 5 from 57 ratings on the US App Store and 3.5 out of 5 from 31 ratings on Google Play. On Trustpilot, it showed 4.5 out of 5 from 111 reviews (85% five-star, 3% one-star), and Trustpilot says the company invites its customers to review. On G2, it averaged 4.9 out of 5 from 118 reviews. Some reviews predate the August 2026 price change, so check dates. Capterra blocked our request. We didn’t sort individual reviews by topic, so we can’t say which complaints come up most. For comparison, we found no third-party ratings for our #1 pick, MeetScarlet (checked November 5, 2026).
