When EssentOne is the better fit. If you want your general ledger, receivables and payables inside the same system as your orders, rather than in QuickBooks, EssentOne has its own built-in accounting, with automated postings, bank reconciliation and period closing in its Advanced and Enterprise editions. It also manages multi-location inventory and warehouse fulfillment. If one system of record for operations and the books is the priority, weigh that heavily, and ask Essent to price EssentOne and SiteBuilder Pro together for a first-year total.

Where MPower wins

  • A price you can see. Every plan is published; no consultation needed to learn the cost.
  • Stores in the plan. Unlimited company stores on All-in-One, not a separate product.
  • Pop-up ready. Stores take start and end dates, allowances, approvals and SSO.
  • Keep QuickBooks. No ledger migration; your accountant keeps the books they know.
  • Self-serve start. Sign up from the pricing page without a sales cycle.
  • SOC 2 Type 2, independently audited by Sensiba LLP.

How these are built. MPower All-in-One at $479.20/mo billed annually (up to 10 users) and All-in-One Pro at $959.20/mo billed annually (unlimited users), divided by team size: $479.20 ÷ 5 = $95.84, ÷ 10 = $47.92; $959.20 ÷ 20 = $47.96, ÷ 40 = $23.98. Web-store orders also carry a 1.9% fee on All-in-One or 1.5% on Pro, and 0% on orders your team enters in the application; that usage fee is not included above. Essent lists no prices for EssentOne or SiteBuilder Pro on essent.com, so its column shows no figure.

FAQ

Comparing EssentOne, answered.

How much does EssentOne cost?
Essent does not publish EssentOne pricing. Its site offers a free consultation in which an Essent consultant scopes a solution to your needs and budget. Company stores run on SiteBuilder Pro, which is also unpriced on the site, so ask for both in one quote.
Does EssentOne have its own accounting?
Yes. EssentOne includes a general ledger, accounts receivable and accounts payable, with bank reconciliation, automated postings and period closing in its Advanced and Enterprise editions. MPower takes a different route: it syncs to QuickBooks, so your books stay in the system your accountant already uses.
Who makes EssentOne?
Essent Corporation, which also runs the OrderTrax network that hosts PromoStandards endpoints for suppliers. Essent serves promotional products distributors, suppliers and decorators, as well as wholesale distribution businesses.
Does MPower connect to suppliers over PromoStandards?
Yes. MPower syncs over 725,000 products by PromoStandards with scheduled pricing and inventory updates, and sends purchase orders over PromoStandards to connected suppliers.
What comes across when I move?
Customer and contact records, order history and artwork files come across. Product data is rebuilt live from PromoStandards rather than copied, so it arrives current. Store designs are rebuilt with the MPower store builder and templates.
