Kiri vs Mangomint
Mangomint is salon and spa software priced at $120 a month per location plus $10 per user, with phone, marketing and payroll as paid add-ons. It has no consumer marketplace. Kiri is a free listing that brings new clients and booking requests, so it adds the one thing Mangomint does not sell.

Where Mangomint wins
- Online booking, forms, memberships, payments and point-of-sale in one system.
- Free onboarding and data transfer, with no contract.
- Phone, marketing and payroll add-ons when you need them.
- Pricing by location and user is published in full.
Where Kiri wins
- Discovery: Mangomint has no marketplace. Kiri exists to bring new clients.
- $0 to list, against $120 a month per location before users and add-ons.
- Clients find you by the hairstyle they want, from search and AI answers.
- The Kiri team builds the page, with nothing to migrate.
You can run both.
Kiri is not a point-of-sale and does not try to be one. Mangomint runs the front desk; Kiri brings new people to it. Keep Mangomint for booking, checkout and payroll, and add accepted Kiri requests the way you would a call.
Mangomint fits best
When you run a busy front desk and want premium software for it, and you are comfortable paying per location and per user.
Kiri fits best
Solo stylists, small teams and salons of any size that want new clients to find them by the work they do, a page built to rank for their name and area, and booking requests without paying a platform for the privilege.
