Minea pricing plans

Minea's three plans (Starter, Premium, Business) follow the standard DTC SaaS structure: a constrained entry tier designed to demonstrate value while pushing power users up, a mid tier where most active users sit, and a team tier with seats and shared workflows.

The structure is intentional and aggressive about upgrade pressure. Starter's download cap and lack of influencer tracking are deliberate constraints, not technical limitations. They exist to convert Starter users to Premium within 30-60 days.

Premium is where most individual users settle. The unlimited downloads, full archive, and advanced filters make it the workable plan for daily research. The cap on seats means team buyers either stack Premium accounts or jump to Business.

Business is the team plan, not the 'serious user' plan. A single power user has no reason to pay Business prices unless they need API access. The features that justify Business are the team-collaboration features, not capability expansion.

Starter to Premium: download cap. This is the primary trigger. Active researchers hit the 10/day cap during the first serious audit. Anyone using Minea daily moves to Premium within the first month.

Starter to Premium: influencer tracking gap. Secondary trigger for DTC operators researching creator-marketed brands. Once you realize Starter doesn't surface influencer ads, the plan becomes functionally inadequate.

Premium to Business: seat count. Once a second researcher needs access to shared saved searches and bookmarks, the math gets complicated. Stacking 2 Premium accounts costs $198/mo with no sharing; one Business account at $249/mo gives 5 seats with sharing. 2+ users typically push to Business.

Premium to Business: API access. If you want to pull Minea data into a BI dashboard, a competitive intel tracker, or any custom workflow, Business is the only tier with API access. This is rare but real upgrade pressure for sophisticated buyers.

Starter ($49/mo) is for new DTC operators evaluating Minea or doing light periodic research. Useful for casual users running 1-2 audits per week. Not viable for daily-research workflows because of the download cap.

Premium ($99/mo) is for full-time DTC marketers, dropshippers, and solo researchers running Minea daily. This is where most paying users sit. Unlimited downloads, full archive, advanced filters - the plan that makes Minea actually work as a daily-driver tool.

Business ($249/mo) is for 3-5 person teams sharing competitive intel. Or for solo users who specifically need the read-only API. Below 3 users the per-seat math doesn't beat stacked Premium accounts.

There's no Enterprise tier listed publicly. Larger team buyers (10+ seats, custom integrations, white-label needs) negotiate custom contracts directly with Minea sales. Pricing is opaque and typically starts at $500+/mo with annual commitment.

Solo creators not doing competitive research: none of the plans make sense. Use Shuttergen's free tier or the free Meta Ad Library directly.

Enterprise buyers needing audit logs, SSO, custom integrations: Minea's Business tier doesn't have these, and the unlisted enterprise path is opaque. Alternatives like Motion or Atria have clearer enterprise stories.

B2B SaaS marketers: Minea is DTC-focused. The metadata layer is tuned for ecommerce signals (audience, engagement bands tied to conversion). B2B buyers need different tools entirely.

TikTok-first researchers: Minea's TikTok coverage is shallower than Pipiads or BigSpy. If TikTok is your primary research surface, Minea's plans look reasonable but the underlying coverage gap means you'll still need a TikTok-specialist tool.
