Mango Mirror

Overview

Mango Mirror is a screen-display service for putting calendars, photos, weather, news and business information on shared displays. It best suits households and organizations that want a configurable information board across several kinds of screen. Its appeal is breadth: the free tier starts simply, while useful integrations and business content require paid plans.

Key features

Layouts and control

A drag-and-drop editor, multiple pages and time-based scheduling give Mango Mirror more flexibility than a single static dashboard. Users can change what a screen shows during the day, which is useful for shared spaces with shifting needs. The Free plan includes a clock, news, weather, background images, quotes, custom layouts and pages; calendars and deeper integrations are paid-tier territory.

Control runs through a browser at app.mangodisplay.com on a phone, laptop or tablet, and changes appear on screen within seconds. That makes updates practical without operating each display directly. Supported screens include Samsung and LG displays, Android/Google TV and Fire TV, iPad and Android/Fire tablets, Echo Show, Windows PCs, web browsers and Raspberry Pi.

Integrations and business content

Pro brings together Google, Outlook, Apple iCal and Cozi calendars, as well as ICS feeds, and can combine multiple sources in one view. It also supports Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do and Todoist, plus Apple Photos, Google Photos and Unsplash. That makes Pro the meaningful step up for a home or home office that depends on existing calendars, task lists or photo collections.

Business adds Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, Microsoft Office files, PDFs, video, website embeds and browser snapshots. Each display gets one browser snapshot widget with a four-hour refresh, so this is better suited to scheduled status views than rapidly changing pages. Business also includes priority live chat and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Enterprise adds Power BI, linked displays, Microsoft 365 group calendars, Microsoft Teams shared calendars and advanced browser snapshots; its 50 monthly hours of browser snapshot refresh time make it the tier for organizations with broader display needs.

Security and support

Mango Display says it maintains a SOC 2 Type I security attestation, operates its products in the United States on AWS, and does not share or sell user data. Its privacy policy says data is encrypted in transit and backups are encrypted; names and email addresses are encrypted in the database using AWS Key Management Service, while other displayed data is not encrypted at rest in the database. Support is offered by live chat, email and phone.

Pricing

The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and allows two screen licenses. It includes basic widgets and custom layouts, making it a sensible way to try a small personal display, but it omits the calendar, task, photo and business integrations that distinguish paid tiers.

Pro costs 5.99 USD per month, billed $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year. Three screens are included, additional screens cost $2.99/mo, and storage is 250 MB. It is the best fit for a home or home office using several calendars, task services or photo sources; the modest storage and per-screen charge matter if the display fleet grows.

Business costs 19.99 USD per month, billed $19.99 per month or $199 per year. It includes three screens, additional screens at $5.99/mo, 1 GB of storage and one browser snapshot widget per display with a four-hour refresh. Small and medium businesses get the office-file support, SLA and priority chat, but should account for snapshot frequency and extra-display costs.

Enterprise costs 49.00 USD per month, billed $49 per month or $499 per year. It includes three screens, additional screens at $19/mo and 50 hours of monthly browser snapshot refresh time. Power BI and shared Microsoft calendars justify considering it for organizations with those requirements; its higher added-screen rate makes it a poor fit for a large deployment without a need for enterprise integrations. A free trial is offered.

Platforms

Mango Mirror supports Android, iOS, Linux, web and Windows. Its screen support also spans TVs, tablets, Echo Show and Raspberry Pi, giving it unusual reach across dedicated displays and general-purpose devices.

Who it's for

Choose Mango Mirror if a household wants a shared calendar-and-photo screen, or a business needs rotating operational content across compatible displays. Pro fits home and home-office use; Business targets small and medium businesses; Enterprise is aimed at organizations with unique needs. It is less compelling for someone who only wants a conventional desktop widget or needs encrypted database storage for all displayed data.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Broad screen support and browser-based control let users manage varied displays from a phone, tablet or laptop.
• Pros: Paid integrations cover major calendar and task services, while higher tiers add office documents, Power BI and shared calendars.
• Pros: Business includes a 99.9% uptime SLA and priority live chat.
• Cons: The Free tier is limited to two screens and basic content, so calendar and task use requires a subscription.
• Cons: Paid tiers include only three screens, with added-screen charges increasing from $2.99/mo on Pro to $19/mo on Enterprise.
• Cons: Other displayed data is not encrypted while stored in the database, a relevant limitation for sensitive dashboard content.

Verdict
