Salon and spa software priced per location and user, with core features included
Is Mangomint Worth It?
Mangomint is worth considering if you run a US salon, spa or med spa and want one plan with the core tools included. It costs $120 a month per location plus $10 per user, so a solo provider pays $130 and a five-person team at one location $170, with no Mangomint fee on bookings. There is no contract, onboarding and data transfer are free, and the trial has no time limit. Express Booking, self-checkout, cards on file and deposits require Mangomint Payments (2.90% + $0.30 online, 2.45% + $0.15 in person). Phone ($70 a line), marketing credits ($30 to $300) and payroll cost extra, as does Mira, an AI receptionist that books by phone and text: $300 a month for a single-location business plus the Phone add-on (custom for solo and multi-location). Reviewers rate it 5.0/5 on Capterra and 4.9/5 on G2 and praise support, but several small businesses find the total cost high. We have not hands-on tested the product; this verdict is based on Mangomint’s US pricing, payment and Mira pages and reviews checked on 14 Nov 2026.

Pricing & Total Cost
| Plan | Price (USD) | Staff | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mangomint | $130 /month for 1 US location + 1 user ($120 per location + $10 per user) | Every active (not deactivated or archived) profile is a user, including providers, front desk, and booth renters on the account. A user assigned to several locations is counted once. Official FAQ, 14 Nov 2026. |
|
- Card processing 2.9% + $0.30
- AI receptionist add-on $300/mo
- Prices are US list prices in effect since 1 August 2026: $120 a month per location plus $10 a month per user. A solo provider with one location pays $130 a month, excluding add-ons.
- The calculator starts at $130 a month for one location and one user, then adds $120 for each extra location and $10 for each extra user (two locations and three users: $270 a month). It uses the published virtual card rate of 2.90% + $0.30; in-person Mangomint Payments cost 2.45% + $0.15. Phone, Marketing, Payroll and Mira are not included.
- Every active user counts, including providers, front desk staff and booth renters on the account. Deactivated or archived users don’t, and a user who works at several locations is counted once.
- Add-ons: Phone is $70 a month per line, and outbound international call rates apply (not published). Marketing credits for campaigns and automated flows come in one monthly tier: 3,500 credits $30, 6,000 $50, 15,000 $100, 35,000 $200 or 60,000 $300; tier credits reset each billing period, and extra credits cost 1¢ each and roll over. Payroll is $50 a month per payroll account plus $8 a month per worker.
- Mira, Mangomint’s AI receptionist, is billed separately: $300 a month for a single-location business, with unlimited calls and texts, no overage and no setup fee. It requires the Phone add-on ($70 a month per line), so a single-location business with one user pays $500 a month in total. Solo providers and multi-location businesses get custom Mira pricing, which is not published.
- Express Booking, self-checkout, cards on file and deposits require Mangomint Payments. You can use your own processor for other payments.
- Large businesses may qualify for custom card rates, including interchange-plus; those rates are not published.
- The US Bluetooth card reader is $99, tax included, and works only with an iPhone or iPad. The optional dock price is not published.
