Two salon platforms, two different meters
Mangomint vs Boulevard, for a nail salon, is a platform comparison. Both sell more than a booking link. Mangomint’s public price is a monthly base plus a fee per user. Boulevard’s public price is a plan: a provider cap on Essentials, then a per-location price with unlimited professionals on Premier. We opened both pricing pages on September 25, 2026. This page does not crown a winner.
The Mangomint invoice, line by line, already lives on Mangomint pricing. The book-only compare against Bukkii is Mangomint vs Bukkii Calendar. Boulevard does not have a separate pricing essay here, so Boulevard’s plan cards are quoted in full below.
Mangomint, as of September 25, 2026
Fetched from mangomint.com/pricing. Anyone with a profile counts as a user, including service providers and front desk employees. A booth renter on the account counts too. We do not multiply the per-user rate by a chair count.

That trial is Mangomint’s. AIVA has no free trial. The page does not print a Google Reserve line. We do not claim they include it, and we do not claim they lack it.
Boulevard, as of September 25, 2026
Fetched from joinblvd.com/pricing. Essentials is labeled /mo. Premier and Prestige are labeled /mo per location. The starred prices are a limited-time fall offer for new customers. Terms apply. The page also has a Monthly and Annually control. The HTML we fetched prints the figures below. We do not calculate a second annual rate the page did not print.
| Boulevard plan | Price in the page HTML | What the card includes |
|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $143/mo | Up to 5 providers (bookable calendars), 250 free texts, 1,000 free email blasts, 50 GB storage. For small teams with simple operations. |
| Premier | $234/mo per location (normally $293) | Essentials plus unlimited professionals, 250 free texts, 1,000 free email blasts, 50 GB storage. |
| Prestige | $328/mo per location (normally $410) | Premier plus the forms add-on, 2,500 free texts, 10,000 free email blasts, 100 GB storage. |
| Enterprise | No dollar printed | Described as a bespoke plan. We do not invent a price. |

Add-ons elsewhere on the page include forms starting at $65/month per location, QuickBooks at $45/month per location, and ePrescribe at $45 per prescriber. Those are add-ons, not the Essentials subscription. A sixth bookable provider does not fit the Essentials “up to 5” line. That is their cap, not our estimate.
Side by side, for a nail floor
| Mangomint | Boulevard | |
|---|---|---|
| How people are billed | $120/mo base + $10 per profile, including front desk and booth renters | Essentials caps bookable calendars at 5 for $143/mo. Premier says unlimited professionals. |
| Extra location | $120/mo each | Premier and Prestige are already priced per location |
| Phone | Add-on, $70/mo per line, in-app call and text | No receptionist price on the plan cards we fetched |
| Offer vs list price | The user rate is the rate. A free trial account is mentioned. AIVA has no free trial. | $234 and $328 are starred fall prices. Normally $293 and $410. |
| What you are buying | Calendar, POS, and the add-ons above | A self-care platform with provider calendars, texts, and email blasts inside the plan |
A five-tech nail salon can sit inside Boulevard Essentials and still be over Mangomint’s base once several profiles are on the account, or the reverse, depending on who has a profile. We will not do that arithmetic and call it a quote. Count profiles on Mangomint. Count bookable calendars against Boulevard’s five.
Mangomint’s phone add-on is not AIVA. The phone article is Mangomint vs an AI receptionist. Reviews of the platform, without a star score we did not fetch, are Mangomint reviews.
For a nail salon, Bukkii is the option
Buy Mangomint or Boulevard when you want that platform: the register, the staff tools, and the plan you just priced. A nail salon that needs the public book and the shop line, and does not need to replace the checkout, has a smaller pair of products.
Bukkii Calendar is $20/month. Unlimited staff. Unlimited customers. Google Reserve is included. Bukkii submits the profile during onboarding. Google’s review is typically 7–14 business days. Calendar does not answer the phone. Get Calendar — $20/mo.
AIVA is $200 one-time, the AI receptionist on the inbound shop line. She answers, books the service, and texts the appointment. No monthly plan fee. No free trial. Get AIVA — $200.
Bukkii also works alongside an existing Vagaro or Booksy setup. You do not have to leave that marketplace or that register to add the public book. The walkthrough is keep Vagaro or Booksy and add Bukkii Calendar. We do not claim native two-way sync into Vagaro, Booksy, Mangomint, or Boulevard.
