Mangomint's design is beautiful. Its $375/mo price tag isn't.
Mangomint is one of the best-designed salon platforms on the market. It's also one of the most expensive, with two-way texting charged as a $75/mo add-on. OpenChair delivers comparable automation at a fraction of the price.
Our Take
Mangomint earns its reputation — the UX is exceptional, the automation is solid, and the team clearly cares about the product. The barrier is price: $165–$375/mo before add-ons, with two-way texting costing another $75/mo on top. OpenChair covers the same core use cases — AI scheduling, marketing automation, consultation forms, team management — at A$34.95–$199/mo with SMS and email included. For larger multi-location operations that need Mangomint's specific depth, the premium may be worth it. For most growing salons, the price difference is hard to justify.
