As a small business owner, I work hard to build my brand and bring clients in, so giving up that much of each new booking really started to add up. Since switching to Vagaro, I’ve had a much better experience overall. I really appreciate the detailed reporting and bookkeeping features—it makes tracking my business performance and retail much easier and more organized. The only downsides I’ve noticed are that the system can be a bit slow at times, and I wish there were more customizable category options for the online store, as the current ones don’t always fit my needs. Overall, though, I’m happy with the switch. Vagaro gives me more control over my business without taking a percentage of my hard-earned clients, which makes a big difference." — Diane B., Owner (April 13, 2026) ### [Mangomint](https://www.capterra.com/p/187593/Mangomint/) - 5.0 out of 5 (347 reviews) — 3 reviewers switched here > "I kept having difficulties with clients making appointments losing a number of bookings" — Sable A., Salon Owner Educator (December 11, 2023) --- ## Find software for your specific use case ### Appointment Reminder - [DoctorConnect](https://www.capterra.com/p/131888/DoctorConnect/) — 4.7 out of 5 (72 reviews) - [GoReminders](https://www.capterra.com/p/154785/GoReminders/) — 4.8 out of 5 (293 reviews) - [Vital Interaction](https://www.capterra.com/p/235541/Vital-Interaction/) — 4.7 out of 5 (30 reviews) ### Appointment Scheduling - [Xola](https://www.capterra.com/p/132175/Xola-Booking-and-Marketing-System/) — 4.7 out of 5 (574 reviews) - [LeadSquared](https://www.capterra.com/p/130199/LeadSquared/) — 4.3 out of 5 (167 reviews) - [Coconut Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/140810/Coconut-Calendar/) — 4.6 out of 5 (18 reviews) ### Salon - [Mangomint](https://www.capterra.com/p/187593/Mangomint/) — 5.0 out of 5 (347 reviews) - [Vagaro](https://www.capterra.com/p/153752/Vagaro/) — 4.7 out of 5 (3,661 reviews) - [Meevo](https://www.capterra.com/p/172058/Meevo-2/) — 4.4 out of 5 (296 reviews) ### Spa - [Mangomint](https://www.capterra.com/p/187593/Mangomint/) — 5.0 out of 5 (347 reviews) - [Vagaro](https://www.capterra.com/p/153752/Vagaro/) — 4.7 out of 5 (3,661 reviews) - [AestheticsPro](https://www.capterra.com/p/93446/AestheticsPro/) — 4.4 out of 5 (676 reviews) ### Massage Therapy - [Jane](https://www.capterra.com/p/178984/Jane-App/) — 4.8 out of 5 (535 reviews) - [BookingTimes](https://www.capterra.com/p/161989/BookingTimes/) — 5.0 out of 5 (27 reviews) - [Vagaro](https://www.capterra.com/p/153752/Vagaro/) — 4.7 out of 5 (3,661 reviews) ---
