MPower vs Brikl

Brikl takes 3.5% of every sale.
MPower is a flat fee and a smaller cut.

Brikl is an on-demand store platform for merch sellers: no subscription, 3.5% of each transaction, and its own marketplace of decorated products fulfilled by partners. MPower is one system for promotional products distributors: CRM, presentations, orders, supplier POs over PromoStandards, unlimited stores and accounting. Here is how they compare, and where each one costs less.

Why distributors move to MPower

Your suppliers, your margin, your books.

A smaller cut as you grow

MPower takes 1.9% of web-store orders on All-in-One and 1.5% on Pro, against Brikl's 3.5%. Above about $360,000 a year in store sales, the flat fee pays for itself.

The whole supplier base

725,000+ promotional products synced over PromoStandards from the suppliers you already buy from, with purchase orders sent electronically. Brikl's Launch catalog is its own marketplace of 8,000+ products.

More than the store

CRM, presentations, quotes, order management, QuickBooks accounting and commissions sit in the same system as your stores, so offline orders and store orders land in one place.

Side by side

MPower vs Brikl, feature by feature.

Both run branded stores with unlimited storefronts. They differ on whose suppliers you sell, who is the merchant, and how much of the business sits around the store.

What it actually costs

Below about $360,000 a year in store sales, Brikl costs less.

Brikl charges nothing until you sell, then 3.5% of each transaction. MPower charges a yearly subscription plus a smaller percentage of web-store orders. Here is the yearly platform cost on each company's published rates.

Store sales per yearMPower All-in-OneMPower ProBrikl Launch
$250,000$10,500$15,260$8,750
$1,000,000$24,750$26,510$35,000
$3,000,000$62,750$56,510$105,000

The lines cross at about $360,000 a year for All-in-One and about $576,000 for Pro. Below that, Brikl is cheaper; above it, MPower is, and the gap widens with every dollar sold. Pro overtakes All-in-One at about $1.44 million.

When Brikl is the better fit. If your store programs sell less than about $360,000 a year, Brikl Launch costs less than MPower, and in a month with no sales it costs nothing. It also takes on work MPower leaves with you: as Merchant of Record it collects payment, files and remits sales tax and carries chargeback risk, and its partners decorate and ship the orders. If you are happy selling from its 8,000-product marketplace and don't need a CRM or accounting system, Brikl is the cheaper, simpler start.

Where MPower wins

  • A lower rate at volume. 1.9% or 1.5% of web-store orders against 3.5%, and 0% on orders your team enters in the app.
  • Your own suppliers. 725,000+ products over PromoStandards, with electronic POs to connected suppliers.
  • One system, not a store bolted on. CRM, presentations, orders, stores and QuickBooks accounting share one database.
  • Corporate store controls: allowances, approvals, SSO, and start and end dates.
  • Commissions and reconciliation next to the orders that created them.
  • SOC 2 Type 2, independently audited by Sensiba LLP.

How these are built. MPower All-in-One: $5,750/yr ($479.20/mo billed annually, up to 10 users) + 1.9% of web-store sales, minimum $1 per order; at $250,000 that is $5,750 + $4,750 = $10,500. MPower Pro: $11,510/yr ($959.20/mo billed annually, unlimited users) + 1.5%, minimum $0.25 per order; at $250,000, $11,510 + $3,750 = $15,260. Brikl Launch: 3.5% of the order total excluding tax, no subscription, from brikl.com/pricing and its FAQ; at $250,000, $8,750. Crossovers: $5,750 / (3.5% − 1.9%) = $359,375; $11,510 / (3.5% − 1.5%) = $575,500. The table assumes average orders above about $53, so MPower's per-order minimum does not apply. Card processing is extra on both platforms, and Brikl's optional store build services ($99 or $199 per store) are not included.

FAQ

How much does Brikl cost?
Brikl's Launch plan charges 3.5% per transaction, calculated on the order total excluding tax, with no subscription, setup fee or per-user charge.

Is MPower cheaper than Brikl?
Only once your stores sell enough. On published rates, MPower All-in-One costs less than Brikl Launch above about $360,000 a year in store sales, and MPower Pro above about $576,000. Below those levels, Brikl is cheaper. MPower also covers CRM, order management and accounting, which Brikl's site does not describe.

Using your own supplier relationships and rebates is listed as an Enterprise feature, which is custom priced. MPower syncs 725,000+ products over PromoStandards from the suppliers you choose and sends purchase orders to connected suppliers electronically.
Who handles sales tax?
On Brikl Launch, Brikl is the Merchant of Record and calculates, collects and remits sales tax for you. On Enterprise you connect your own tax software. MPower calculates sales tax from each order's ship-to address; filing and remittance stay with you.
