The Core Difference
Mangomint is salon software that focuses on automation: smart scheduling, waitlist management, and reducing front-desk admin. It's popular with multi-location US salons that want to run with minimal reception staff.
Aestheticc is clinic management for UK aesthetic practitioners. The automation is built around clinical workflows (consent collection, treatment records, follow-up scheduling, rebooking reminders), not salon front-desk tasks.
Both automate things. They just automate different things for different businesses.
Feature Comparison
| Feature | Aestheticc | Mangomint | |---------|-----------|-----------| | Built for medical aesthetics | Yes | No (salons) | | UK market | Yes | No (US) | | Clinical consent forms | Yes | No | | Treatment records | Yes | No | | Before/after photos | Yes | No | | CQC compliance | Yes | No | | Smart scheduling | Yes | Yes (advanced) | | Waitlist management | Basic | Yes (automated) | | Online booking | Yes | Yes | | Payment processing | Stripe UK | US processors | | Marketing automation | Yes | Limited | | Two-way SMS | Yes | Yes | | Express checkout | Yes | Yes |
Pricing
| Plan | Aestheticc | Mangomint | |------|-----------|-----------| | Solo | £39/month | ~£130/month ($165) | | Team | £69/month | ~£195/month ($245) | | Currency | GBP | USD |
Mangomint is three to five times the price of Aestheticc. That premium buys you advanced salon automation features, but none of the clinical functionality an aesthetic clinic actually needs.
The Automation Difference
Mangomint's automation is impressive for salons. It can:
- Auto-fill cancelled appointment slots from a waitlist
- Handle walk-ins and manage front-desk flow
- Process checkouts with minimal staff interaction
Aestheticc's automation is built for clinics:
- Auto-send consent forms before appointments
- Trigger follow-up messages after treatments
- Schedule rebooking reminders based on treatment intervals
- Track treatment courses and flag when clients are due back
Same concept: automate the repetitive work. Different execution because the work is different.
When Mangomint Makes Sense
- You're a US salon or spa with high appointment volume
- Front-desk automation is your primary need
- You want advanced waitlist and cancellation management
- Budget allows $165-245/month per location
When Aestheticc Makes Sense
- You're a UK aesthetic clinic
- You need clinical automation (consent, records, follow-ups) not salon automation
- You want UK payment processing and compliance features
- You want everything at £39/month, not $165+
