Tilavon vs Mango POS

Yes. Tilavon starts at $39 per month with no setup fee. Mango POS starts at $49 per month and adds a one-time setup fee of $149 to $249 depending on plan, plus a three-month minimum subscription. For a typical salon on a mid-tier plan, Tilavon costs about $2,239 less in the first year.

Yes, Mango POS serves Vietnamese-speaking salon owners — and so does Tilavon. Tilavon offers four languages, English, Vietnamese, Spanish and Chinese, across the entire platform including the POS, scheduling, reports and the employee app.
