Grain vs Jiminny (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Grain if

• Fits if a few of you record calls and the rest only watch, since viewer seats are free
• Works for sending a clip of a customer call to someone who wasn't there

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if your meetings run long and you're not paying, because free ones stop at 45 minutes and history lasts 30 days
• Not for you if you want notes on your phone, as no iPhone or Android app is listed
• Pricey if you need HubSpot, Salesforce or coaching, which start on Business at $29 a seat yearly ($39 monthly)
• Tight if you upload recordings on Starter, which allows 10 file uploads a month; free has none
• Watch out: SAML single sign-on is Enterprise only, at a price you have to ask for

Pick Jiminny if

• Fits if you run a sales team on HubSpot and want calls logged for you
• Works for managers who coach reps from recorded calls

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, as none is published
• Not for you if you want general internal meeting notes
• Tight if you're evaluating alone: the trial is 14 days
• Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, since the pages describe a web platform only

Ask across meetings

Ask questions over the whole meeting library and get answers with citations that point back to the source recordings.

Clips and highlight reels

Cut shareable video clips from a recording, group them into playlists or highlight reels, and share them with teammates or clients.
