Don't just take our word for it

Hear from real Mangomint customers why they made the switch

  • Exceptional customer service, and beyond that-awesome features, like customizations, Express Booking™, two-way texting and much more! [Alternatives] charged 20% per text message/email sent and we assumed we would quickly meet a high charge while paying extra

    Melissa R. via Capterra
  • Mangomint is one of the cleanest, easiest-to-use salon software platforms we've worked with. When we switched from our previous software, our bookings increased by 20%. That alone made the transition worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do Mangomint and Fresha online booking compare?

    Mangomint’s login-free online booking embeds directly on your website, so your clients can book without ever having to leave your site. It’s fully customizable with your logo and brand colors. By comparison, Fresha users must link out to their Fresha marketplace page (online booking cannot be directly integrated on your site), and clients must create a Fresha account to book.

  • Does Mangomint offer a marketplace?

    Our goal is for Mangomint to feel invisible, so a public marketplace isn't part of our philosophy. Our online booking solution embeds directly on your website, and we’ll never charge a commission on new client bookings. While Fresha’s marketplace can be helpful for finding new clients, you’ll pay 20% every time a new client books through the marketplace.

  • How much does Mangomint cost?

    Mangomint plans start at $165/month for teams up to 10 providers. We have several add-on features available for an additional monthly fee, including two-way texting and payroll processing, plus pay-as-you-go marketing options. We offer transparent pricing plans, and you can find more information on our Pricing page.

  • Can I try Mangomint before signing up?

    Yes! If you’re considering Mangomint, we recommend trying us out with a free trial account to see our features in action. You can also schedule a quick demo with one of our product experts. To get started with Fresha, you’re required to create a marketplace profile.

  • What does support look like for Mangomint?

    When you’re ready to make the switch, you’ll be connected with a dedicated manager available to you via phone and video chat. They’ll walk you through the entire onboarding process step-by-step, so you can feel confident using Mangomint right away. Our 24/7 live chat is available to you as soon as you create a demo account, with typical response times in under 10 minutes. Fresha’s live support only operates between 7AM-7PM.

  • How does data migration to Mangomint work?

    Mangomint handles the entire data migration process for free. Your dedicated onboarding manager will map out what data can be migrated and can help you recreate any data that can’t. Fresha offers both free and paid data transfer depending on your requirements.

    In most cases, we can transfer your client list, products, and gifts cards. Depending on the circumstances, we can also transfer things like notes, services, transaction history, and appointment history. If you’re currently using Fresha and want to switch, we can also import marketing lists and future appointments.
