OpenChair and Mangomint, compared carefully.

Our Take
Mangomint earns its reputation for a polished product. Its public materials reviewed on 19 June 2026 describe free data import, one-on-one onboarding, no contracts, a free trial, Essentials at $165/month, Standard at $245/month, and Unlimited at $375/month. The pricing page also lists additional-location pricing, marketing credits at 1 cent each with subscriptions starting at $50/month for 6,000 credits, and payment processing rates of 2.45% + 15c in person and 2.90% + 30c virtual. Mangomint's product pages describe Connect for calls, texts, web chat, voicemail summaries, and transcripts; Express Booking; Intelligent Waitlist; Automated Flows; Forms & Charting; and online booking. OpenChair is positioned differently: published capped AU/NZ/GB pricing and operator-reviewed salon workflows across Assistant actions, Smart Replies, Booking Replies, Smart Nudges, Reconnect, Style Match, Processing Gaps, and waitlist opportunities.

Making the Switch from Mangomint
Switching software feels daunting — but it doesn't have to be. Here's exactly how the transition works.
Audit your Mangomint add-ons
Review your plan, Connect usage, Forms & Charting, marketing credits, payroll, Shopify, payment processing, extra locations, memberships, packages, and medspa charting before planning a switch.
Export and send your core data
Export clients, services, products, staff, future appointments, notes, forms, campaigns, and waitlists, then email the available export to support@openchairpro.com. Treatment notes, memberships, packages, and payroll workflows need a separate migration decision.
Import and configure OpenChair
We'll import available data into OpenChair, then configure services, deposits, forms, Inbox, Smart Replies, Reconnect, Smart Nudges, Style Match, Processing Gaps, and waitlist rules.
