Mango Mirror

Overview

Mango Mirror is a customizable display service for turning a screen into a shared view of calendars, photos, weather, news or business information. It is best suited to households and organizations that want scheduled, multi-page displays across different kinds of screens. Its broad device support is appealing, but the value depends on how many screens you need and which plan unlocks the integrations you rely on.

Key features

Layouts and display control

A drag-and-drop editor lets users place widgets, build multiple pages and schedule content changes by time. That flexibility suits a display that needs to serve different purposes through the day; it is less compelling if a single static screen is all you need. Widget categories include health, fitness, nutrition, sleep, weather, photos, calendars, reminders, notes, news, quotes and background photos.

Displays can be managed from app.mangodisplay.com in a phone, laptop or tablet browser, and changes appear on screen within seconds. The supported screen list spans Samsung and LG displays, Android/Google TV, Fire TV, iPad, Android and Fire tablets, Echo Show, Windows PCs, web browsers and Raspberry Pi. This range gives Mango Mirror room to fit mixed-device homes and workplaces, though each paid plan includes only three screen licenses before added-screen charges apply.

Integrations by tier

Pro connects Google, Outlook, Apple iCal and Cozi calendars, plus ICS feeds, and can combine multiple sources in one view. It also adds Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do and Todoist, as well as Apple Photos, Google Photos and Unsplash. That is a meaningful step up for a home or home office that wants its existing services on a shared display; the Free plan is limited to its included clock, news, weather, background images and quotes.

Business adds Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, Microsoft Office files, PDFs, video, website embeds and browser snapshots. It includes one browser snapshot widget per display with a four-hour refresh, 1 GB storage, 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, with 50 hours of monthly browser snapshot refresh time. Those tiers are better matched to operational or shared workplace displays than to a basic household screen.

Privacy and support

Mango Display says it maintains a SOC 2 Type I security attestation, does not sell or share user data, and operates its products in the United States on AWS. 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. Buyers displaying sensitive material should weigh that distinction. Support is available through live chat, [email protected] and +1 (289) 678-1622.

Pricing

The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and includes two screen licenses, clock, news, weather, background images, quotes, custom layouts and pages. It is a useful way to build a simple display without a subscription, but it does not include the Pro integrations for calendars, tasks or photo services.

Pro costs 5.99 USD per month, billed $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year. It includes three screens and 250 MB storage; additional screens cost $2.99/mo. This is the natural fit for home and home-office users who need connected calendars, task lists or photo sources, though the three-screen allowance can become a constraint in a larger setup.

Business costs 19.99 USD per month, billed $19.99 per month or $199 per year. It includes three screens, 1 GB storage and the browser snapshot allowance, while additional screens cost $5.99/mo. Small and medium businesses get the Office content options, priority live chat and uptime SLA, but the higher price is difficult to justify for personal use.

Enterprise costs 49.00 USD per month, billed $49 per month or $499 per year. Three screens are included, additional screens cost $19/mo, and the plan provides 50 monthly hours for browser snapshot refreshes. It is intended for organizations needing linked displays and enterprise integrations; those needs will matter more than the higher per-screen charge.

Platforms

The service supports Android, iOS, Linux, web and Windows. Its screen compatibility also includes several TV platforms, tablets, Echo Show and Raspberry Pi, while browser-based control lets a phone, laptop or tablet manage displays remotely.

Who it's for

Mango Mirror makes the most sense for people who want a customizable shared information screen and can match the plan to their screen count. Free suits a basic two-screen setup; Pro is the strongest fit for connected home or home-office calendars, tasks and photos. Business and Enterprise are aimed at workplace displays with richer content, service commitments or organization-wide calendars. It is a weaker choice for a buyer who needs many displays at low cost or expects every displayed database item to be encrypted at rest.

Pros and cons

• Broad screen compatibility: Samsung and LG displays, TVs, tablets, Echo Show, PCs, browsers and Raspberry Pi create options for different setups.
• Flexible scheduling: Multiple pages and time-based content changes suit displays that serve different roles during the day.
• Useful tiered integrations: Pro adds common calendar, task and photo sources, while higher tiers bring office files, dashboards and shared calendars.
• Screen costs scale by tier: Each paid plan starts with three screens, and the additional-screen fee rises from $2.99/mo on Pro to $19/mo on Enterprise.
• Uneven data encryption: Transit and backup encryption are stated, but other displayed data is not encrypted while stored in the database.

Verdict

Mango Mirror is a good choice for homes and businesses that want flexible, scheduled displays and can benefit from its plan-specific integrations. Its broad screen compatibility and quick browser-based updates are the strongest reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if your setup needs many screens on a tight budget or requires all displayed data to be encrypted at rest.
