GBG vs MonaVie & Others
GBG is not afraid of Competitors. To prove that, I will lay a few of them out for you and tell you how they compare. Many of these products are good, and some unique, but one thing troubled me about nearly all of them; they are not "upfront" about the prices of their products, especially not on their main Corporate websites. Most of the prices I had to find on reps sites who had seemingly broken the rules and posted them. I am not very comfortable with companies that will not be straight forward about the cost of their products. It makes me wonder what else they are not telling me about their Company or products. Here is the list of comparable products, you be the judge. (As you read, please remember that GBG is only $29.97 per 1 month bottle, and is a complete Vitamin & Mineral Formula , "Not Just Juice!" Also, GBG lists their cost, auto-ship and business, as well as their ingredients right up front, with no hidden surprises)
Especially for people who are looking for an affordable high ORAC, high vitamin, juice based alternative to Mona Vie.

Amigo Juice is a powdered drink mix which contains only Acai Mangosteen and Goji. It cost $39.95 plus tax & shipping for a 1 mon. supply. Not complete or pre-mixed, but good for them because the prices are listed.
A.C.T. energy drink.-

A.C.T. has a broader range of juices than Amigo, plus antioxidants and phyto nutrients, and sea minerals, but no list of Vitamins,
Sadly it took me searching at least 6 sites to find the cost. It was on a reps site. It is $25.00 plus tax & shipping for a 1 mon. supply.
Eniva Vibe -

Eniva sells a broader range of products. Its comparable product "Vibe" has a similar range of Vitamins and minerals (not as high RDA %) and a slightly different array of phyto nutrients. It costs 2x GBG 10 in One. It has been reviewed as not tasting as well as GBG or Mona Vie, but has one of the highest ORAC scores. It sells for $59.95 plus tax & shipping for a 1 mon. supply. Distributor price is $49.95 plus.

http://www.genesispure.com/product/goyin.php
I had a really hard time finding the prices for these products. "GoYin" contains 15 juices plus mushrooms, The retail cost of one bottle is usually between $35.00 to $40.00 plus tax & shipping. Cases of four bottles can be purchased through the AMOR (Automated Monthly Order) program at $120.00/case ($30.00/bottle.)(Sounds like you need 1 bottle per week like Mona Vie doesn't it.)
Mona Vie -

http://acaiberrycompany.com/extra_info_pages_monavie.php/pages_id/3
Mona Vie is the most well known of all the juices. It is the product that I was introduced to first and as it made me conscience of my need for better health and available Liquid "Pill Free" nutrition, I was very interested. Since MonaVie was cost prohibitive for my family I went looking elsewhere for something as good but more affordable and found "GBG". MonaVie is a juice blend and is marketed as a "whole food" supplement and not a Liquid Vitamins/Minerals supplement. It is a good product with many good testimonials but again it is expensive and was not complete enough for my choice. Again with this product as well, (?) no price list on the corporate website. Price $35-$45 per bottle plus tax & shipping, but.. 1 bottle lasts 1 week. You need 4 bottles per month so before shipping at the $35 price it is $140 per mon. per person. http://www.acai-berry.com/
NHR - As the price of GBG went up from $19.95 to $29.97, I thought it wise to try this competing product. NHR is still $19.95 and is relatively close in ingredients, though actually having more fruit and veggie variety. But here's the rub on this product, I did not feel near as good or energized (more like I did before taking GBG) and to be honest it tasted terrible. At least to me and my husband ,it tasted like over strong, over sweet "diet "apple cider. Because of the price I was really hoping this may work out as an alternative even though I really like GBG, so I really did give it a fair shot. But...

price https://www.vemma.com/checkout/index.cfm
Vemma also has vitamins, minerals and phyto nutrients but much less of each (A smaller RDA % and less overall) and, you have to take twice as much as GBG or Vibe. It sells for $60 plus tax & Shipping for a 1 month supply. But good for them I found the price on their "own" website.
Xango -

http://www.healthyjuic.com/health_benifits.htm
Xango is Mangosteen Juice pure and simple. It sells for $37.50 plus tax & shipping but does not say how long it lasts.
Zrii -
http://www.zrii.com/pages/product/formulation.xhtml
Zrii contains: Amalaki, Ginger, Turmeric, Tulsi, Schizandra, Jujube, Haritaki.
It sells for $40 per bottle. Zrii does not list a nutrition facts label on their website, at least none easily found.
There are other companies that sell Liquid Vitamin & Mineral formulas but these are the most popular and most of these are MLM type businesses as well.
As a home business you can make more money with some than others. Usually the more expensive products have a better pay out but also are just that "more expensive". I believe that in an economic down turn it is important to get affordable nutrition into people's hands, conseqently, if a product is overpriced they will not keep using it when finances get hard. So... I believe it is better to represent a product that people will keep using for the long haul rather than a making a short term larger initial payout. I was looking for an affordable alternative to Mona Vie and for me at least I found it.
Besides... as a Rep I can happily encourage a person to give up one Latte a day for better health, but I can't in good conscience ask them to give up their grocery money for their family. I chose GBG!
