Frequently Asked Questions About Mangomint
Why is Mangomint so highly rated?
Mangomint consistently scores 4.9/5.0 on G2 and Capterra because of three main factors: (1) the fastest, most responsive UI in the industry — no lag, instant navigation, (2) Express Booking™ that lets clients book multi-service appointments without awkward multi-step flows, and (3) excellent customer support with genuinely knowledgeable staff. Users report it 'just works' better than alternatives.
What is Express Booking™?
Express Booking™ is Mangomint's proprietary feature that lets clients book multiple services and providers in a single, streamlined flow. Instead of booking a manicure, then separately booking a pedicure, clients can select both services at once with the system automatically finding optimal time slots. It significantly reduces booking abandonment for salons with complex service menus.
How much does Mangomint cost for a 5-person salon?
A 5-person salon fits in Mangomint's Essentials plan at $165/mo (covers 2–10 staff). If you want memberships and Express Booking™, the Advanced plan is $245/mo. Add payroll for $50/mo. Total: $165–295/mo for a 5-person salon, depending on features needed.
Does Mangomint support HIPAA compliance?
Yes. Mangomint's Premier plan ($375/mo) includes HIPAA compliance with a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). Combined with the Forms & Charting add-on ($50/mo), it creates a HIPAA-compliant platform suitable for medical spas and wellness centers storing protected health information.
Is there a Mangomint free trial?
Yes. Mangomint offers a free trial (typically 14 days) with no credit card required. The trial includes free data import so you can test the platform with your real client data. Mangomint's onboarding team provides personalized setup support during and after the trial.
