Winner: Neora (formerly Nerium International)
Neora and MONAT are both beauty/wellness MLMs with multi-level comp plans, and neither is a strong income opportunity: Neora's own 2024 income disclosure shows 62.5% of active Brand Partners earned $0, while MONAT requires an $84+ monthly SMART Start order just to stay commission-qualified. Neora wins narrowly on comp-plan mechanics — no required monthly product order, lower typical monthly spend, and a cleaner product-liability record (Neora defeated the FTC's pyramid-scheme lawsuit in September 2023; MONAT settled class actions over hair-loss claims). For beauty entrepreneurs who want residual income rather than an MLM downline, neither model compares well to a flat high-percentage affiliate structure. Verified July 2026.
