Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mangomint at 67% against PhorestGo's 35%. Mangomint also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). PhorestGo's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 56) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PhorestGo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhorestGo has 2.9K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Mangomint's written reviews are positive against 35% of PhorestGo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mangomint ships an update every 3 days, PhorestGo fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
