Why distributors move to MPower
More than a storefront.
Sell before the store exists
CRM, opportunities, presentations and quotes live in the same system as your stores. Liftoff's published feature list starts at the store.
A smaller cut as stores grow
MPower takes 1.9% of web-store orders on All-in-One and 1.5% on Pro, and 0% on orders your team enters in the app. Liftoff takes 3% on Standard and 2.5% on Professional.
The books close in the same place
QuickBooks sync, reconciliation, billing and commissions sit next to the orders that created them, instead of in a separate ERP.
Side by side

What it actually costs
Above about $523K a year in store sales, MPower costs less.
Liftoff publishes its revenue share but not its monthly fees, so the Liftoff columns below are the revenue share alone. Liftoff's real cost is higher by whatever its monthly fee turns out to be. MPower's columns are the full published price.
| Store sales per year | MPower All-in-One | MPower Pro | Liftoff Standard 3% share only | Liftoff Professional 2.5% share only |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $250,000 | $10,500 | $15,260 | $7,500 + fee | $6,250 + fee |
| $1,000,000 | $24,750 | $26,510 | $30,000 + fee | $25,000 + fee |
| $3,000,000 | $62,750 | $56,510 | $90,000 + fee | $75,000 + fee |
Where the lines cross. MPower All-in-One costs less than Liftoff Standard's 3% share alone above about $523,000 a year of store sales, and less than Professional's 2.5% share alone above about $958,000. MPower Pro beats Professional's share alone above about $1.15 million. Liftoff's monthly fees move every one of those points lower.
Where MPower wins
- One system, not a stack. CRM, presentations, orders, stores and accounting share one database.
- A lower take on store sales: 1.9% or 1.5%, against Liftoff's 3% or 2.5%.
- Every price is published, so you can do this math before a sales call.
- Unlimited stores on All-in-One, without moving to a one-year term.
- 0% on orders your team enters in the app; the fee applies to web-store orders only.
- 725,000+ products over PromoStandards, with electronic POs to connected suppliers.
How these are built. MPower All-in-One: $5,750 a year ($479.20/mo billed annually, up to 10 users) plus 1.9% of web-store orders, so $250K = $5,750 + $4,750 = $10,500. MPower Pro: $11,510 a year ($959.20/mo billed annually, unlimited users) plus 1.5%, so $250K = $11,510 + $3,750 = $15,260. Per-order minimums ($1 on All-in-One, $0.25 on Pro) are ignored, which holds for average orders above about $53. Liftoff: 3% (Standard) and 2.5% (Professional) of revenue from liftoffcommerce.com/pricing; its per-store and support fees are not published, so they are left out. Crossovers: $5,750 ÷ (3.0% − 1.9%) = $522,727; $5,750 ÷ (2.5% − 1.9%) = $958,333; $11,510 ÷ (2.5% − 1.5%) = $1,151,000. Standard is capped at 3 stores. MPower's figures exclude card processing; Liftoff does not say whether its revenue share includes it.
