Mandura VS Monavie
Mandura or Monavie. Which one has the staying power in the market, which is best value for money, which one offers the best return dollar for dollar from a business perspective. Lets have a look at both businesses in a closer detail.Monavie started the superfruit revolution back in 2005 when it released to the market their acai premier blend of acai berry and 18 other fruits in one bottle. Started by CEO Darrin Larsen, Larsen has bought to Monavie are large experience in Network Marketing with previous experience as CEO with USANA. Monavie truly is a marketing machine when it comes to promoting the business. Monavie has created many millionaires with their business model and it is one of successful superfruit companies.
From the product perspective lets take a look at the Monavie products. Their Acai Premier Blend beverage is promoted as one of the highest ORAC score among superfruit beverages. Monavie beverage has a ORAC score of 1027 per ounce making it one of lowest in the market. Each bottle contains approx 25% acai freeze dried powder, the rest is made of 18 different fruits and water.
The bottle itself is 750ml glass bottle, representing a wine bottle, nicely packaged in a cardboard box.
From a price perspective Monavie is not cheap, you can pick up a case of Monavie beverage (4 bottles) at the price of $165 + delivery. This makes it an expensive dose of antioxidants. Across all the MLM type businesses that use superfruits as their line of products, Monavie products are the most expensive in the industry.
Now Lets look at Mandura
Who is Mandura and what do they provide? The Mandura Mission Statement is this: “To enrich the lives of individuals and families worldwide by serving one another and providing superior nutritional products and a rewarding financial opportunity”.

Mandura was formed in Florida by Casey and KC Yarbrough. Mandura is now operating in Europe, Australia, Russia,.. with large expansion plans for 2012.

Acai, Durian, Mangosteen and American Blueberries are said to believe hold the highest amounts of antioxidants among all fruits in the world. Much so that the Durian and Mangosteen is called the King and Queen of fruits among Asian countries.
Mandura… One Line. One Team. One Vision to change lives.

The bottle is a HDPE bottle containing 946ml of juice, making it larger than the Monavie bottle when it comes to contents. Once case of Mandura Juice costs $100 (4 bottles) + shipping, a $65 difference compared to Monavie.
The Business Potential
To keep it simple and fair we are going to compare both businesses in relation to commissions based on team commissions only. Both Monavie and Mandura have several ways to make money, however team commissions make up the bulk of all commissions at the beginning.
Monavie
Monavie uses a hybrid binary compensation plan, for the purpose of calculating team commissions, Monavie uses a binary structure. This means two teams or two legs that require to be built. Monavie pays 10% commissions on the volume generated in the lowest volume legs. Now this is normal for most binary plans. In most cases people have a strong leg and a weak leg, very rare to have them balanced, therefore the ratio between strong and weak could be 70%-30%. However for this exercise we are going to work out commissions on a balanced business to be fair. Monavie pays out commissions on sales once you reach 500BV of sales in the lowest leg, generating a commission payment of $50.
BV means business volume, to be active in Monavie you require to personally generate 100BV which equates to one case of juice worth $165. In this scenario we are going to assume there are ten people in your organisation, 5 people on the left and five people on the right, each with 1 case of juice, 100BV each. This creates 500BV on the left and 500BV on the right, providing me with a commission payment of $50 for one side of the business, 10% of 500BV.
So in summary my organisation moved a total of $1650 worth of product, and generated a payment of $50. This equates to 3% commission on the value of the product.
Mandura

Mandura uses a one line compensation plan. This means that when the next person joins the business from anywhere in the world no matter who sponsors them, they are placed in your business. For the purpose of calculating group commissions, Mandura uses a unilevel compensation plan, paying down to 8 levels deep. The plan also uses compressions which means when you have unqualified people or inactive people within your levels, the lower level compresses up.
In this example same as the Monavie example, ten people join the business, five were sponsored by you and the other five sponsored by the five people you sponsored. $100 worth of product equals 100GV. In this example 10 people who each purchased one case each equals 1000GV, which is worth $1000 of product. Mandura would pay $100 commission on this volume.
This means that $1000 worth of product was moved through the business and you receive $100 commission payment. This equates to 10% commission on the value of the product. For Monavie to pay the same $ in commissions, the Monavie business needed to move $3300 worth of products to achieve $100 commission. Do the math.
In summary, as you can see there is some major differences between Monavie and Mandura when it comes to product, price points and from a business perspective. Both companies provide excellent benefits for health and for wealth. In my opinion it is always better to travel down the path of less travelled and has a higher success rate of real market penetration. It is hard to pass the Mandura opportunity by when the product has a higher ORAC score, costs less and pays out a higher commission per dollar value.
