Salonnare vs Mangomint - which salon software fits your salon?

Pricing and cost model

Salonnare starts at EUR 0 per month. The free plan covers 1 staff member and 50 bookings per month, with no credit card required. Above that, Starter is EUR 29 per month (EUR 348 per year) and Pro is EUR 59 per month (EUR 708 per year). No commission on your revenue and no lock-in. Mangomint sits in a different segment. According to their pricing page it starts at around USD 165 per month (Essentials) and rises, indicatively, to around USD 245 and USD 375 per month for broader plans.^[1] For a solo professional or small salon, that is a significant difference: with Salonnare you pay a fixed, low rate in euros and keep 100% of your revenue.

Built for Europe

Salonnare is built EU-first, with servers in Frankfurt and Amsterdam and full GDPR compliance. The interface, emails and support are available in five languages: Dutch, English, German, French and Spanish. iDEAL works natively (via both Stripe Connect and Mollie), alongside Bancontact, SumUp and card payments. The point of sale handles Dutch VAT (21% on services, 9% on retail) and you export an Auditfile for the tax authorities. That saves a lot of manual bookkeeping work. Mangomint focuses on the United States and Canada. Payment methods, tax handling and support are tuned to that region. iDEAL and Dutch VAT export are not part of that focus. For an EU salon that means extra manual work and workarounds you simply do not have with Salonnare.

Features and daily use

Salonnare covers the whole salon day, and everything is included in the plan at no extra cost: online booking through a widget on your own site or a branded booking page with your logo, a calendar per staff member, client records, inventory, point of sale, email marketing and campaigns, recurring memberships via SEPA and iDEAL, gift cards, loyalty, no-show fees and deposits, forms and intake, plus a GDPR Article 9 health-data vault and GDPR export. You also keep 100% of your own branding and data ownership: you work in your own tenant database, and there is no marketplace pushing competitors to your clients. The modern interface and fast onboarding mean a new staff member or trainee is productive within an hour. Explore all the features if you want to know exactly what is included.

Switching to Salonnare

Switching does not have to be a hurdle. Salonnare supports CSV import, so you bring your clients and data over from your old system. You start on the free plan to test everything at your own pace and only switch when you are ready. Our support team helps with the first setup, so you are not on your own during the migration.

Conclusion: why Salonnare wins

Mangomint is a mature, polished product with years of experience and a large customer base in the US. For a large US salon chain that does not need iDEAL or Dutch VAT, it can be a fine choice. But for salons in the Netherlands and Belgium, Salonnare wins, and that is not a matter of taste. You start free instead of at around USD 165 per month. iDEAL, Bancontact, Dutch VAT (21%/9%) and Auditfile export for the tax authorities work natively, where a US-focused tool simply does not offer them. You get support in your own language, EU servers under GDPR, and the complete package - online booking, point of sale, inventory, marketing automation, memberships, gift cards, loyalty, no-show fees and forms - at no extra cost. On top of that you keep 100% of your own branding and data ownership, with no marketplace steering your clients toward competitors. That is a locally tuned, affordable and complete platform: the logical choice for the EU salon.
