​

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

miniti runs automatic meddpicc qualification analysis on every sales call. granola offers sales templates but doesn’t extract structured methodology data you can push to your crm and track across deals. see meddpicc playbook.

​

miniti gives you all features on the free plan

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

miniti auto-exports every meeting as markdown to a local folder on macos: notes, insights, meddpicc, training metrics, and full transcript. an optional AGENTS.md index makes your meeting history readable by ai agents like claude code. granola keeps your data in their cloud. with miniti, your meetings work natively with obsidian, any ai coding agent, or anything else that reads local files. see markdown export.

​

miniti ships fast

built by a solo developer shipping multiple releases per week. features get built, shipped, and iterated on in days, not quarters. you get a direct line to the person building the product.
