The short version

  • Only Magento has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Magento magento Open Source is available under the OSL v3 license as a free self-hosted edition, but Adobe sells a separate proprietary Adobe Commerce edition with additional B2B, page builder and cloud features not included in the open source code; Mangomint the base plan is $130 a month before any add ons, which is a high floor for a single chair salon
  • They diverge on capability: Magento covers Multi-store management, Mangomint covers Smart scheduling.
