why choose miniti over granola
miniti costs 64-86% less
miniti pro is $5/month with all features. granola business is $14/user/month and still gates features like sso behind a $35/user/month enterprise tier. for a team of 10, that’s $50/month on miniti vs $140-350/month on granola. miniti also has a bring-your-own-keys option that gives you unlimited usage at no cost.miniti helps you speak better, not just take notes
granola is a note-taking tool. miniti is a note-taking tool and a speech coach. the real-time training layer tracks filler words, talk ratio, pace, monologue length, questions asked, and clarity score across every meeting. no other meeting assistant does this. you get per-meeting breakdowns and historical trends so you can measure improvement over weeks and months. see speech coaching.miniti gives you structured sales intelligence

granola’s free tier is limited to 25 meetings total (not per month, lifetime) and your notes disappear after 30 days. miniti gives you 500 minutes every month with full access to every feature including ai summaries, speech coaching, meddpicc, and crm integration. see tiers.miniti keeps your data local and portable
