MeetIQ — Tech Stack, Cost & GTM

Layer 1 — Frontend & Browser Extension

Component	Technology	Why This	Alternative Rejected	Stage
Web App	Next.js 15 (React) + TypeScript	SSR for SEO, fast load, same codebase for landing + app. Vercel deployment.	Vue — smaller ecosystem for enterprise; Angular — too heavy	Stage 1
Browser Extension	Chrome Extension (Manifest V3) + Firefox port	Botless capture — records meeting audio without joining as a visible bot. Works with Meet, Zoom, Teams in browser.	Electron desktop app — heavier, requires install, harder to update	Stage 1
UI Component Library	shadcn/ui + Tailwind CSS	Zero license cost, fully customisable, ships fast. No bundle bloat.	MUI / Ant Design — opinionated, harder to brand for white-label	Stage 1
State Management	Zustand + React Query (TanStack)	Lightweight, no Redux boilerplate. React Query handles server state + caching natively.	Redux Toolkit — overkill for this scale	Stage 1
Real-time UI Updates	WebSockets (Socket.io) + SSE	Live transcript feed and AI insight panel need sub-300ms push. SSE for one-way insight stream.	Polling — too laggy for real-time experience	Stage 1
Mobile App	React Native (Expo)	Single codebase for iOS + Android. Share business logic with web. Expo managed workflow cuts DevOps time.	Flutter — different language (Dart), harder to share logic with Next.js web app	Stage 3

Layer 2 — Backend & API

Component	Technology	Why This	Alternative Rejected	Stage
API Server	Node.js + Fastify + TypeScript	Fastify is 2x faster than Express. Full TypeScript = shared types with frontend. Event-driven for WebSocket load.	Django/Python — slower to share types with React frontend; Rails — overkill ecosystem	Stage 1
API Gateway	AWS API Gateway + Lambda (edge functions)	Auto-scales to zero. No idle server cost at early stage. Rate limiting, auth, throttling built in.	NGINX on EC2 — requires manual scaling; Cloudflare Workers — limited Node.js support	Stage 1
Multi-Tenant Isolation	PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) + tenant_id column on all tables	True data isolation per company with shared DB. No schema-per-tenant complexity at early scale.	Separate DB per tenant — expensive and complex at 1000+ tenants	Stage 1
Job Queue	BullMQ (Redis-backed)	Async processing for MOM draft, follow-up email, AI scoring — keeps API response fast. Retries built in.	AWS SQS — adds AWS coupling; Celery — Python-only	Stage 1
Caching	Redis (ElastiCache)	Session cache, rate limiting, BullMQ queue, service catalog cache per tenant. Sub-ms reads.	Memcached — no pub/sub, no data structures; DynamoDB — too expensive for cache use	Stage 1
Search	PostgreSQL Full-Text Search → Meilisearch (Stage 3)	PG FTS is free and fast enough for Stage 1–2. Meilisearch when session search becomes a core feature.	Elasticsearch — expensive, complex ops for startup scale; Algolia — too costly per search	Stage 3

Layer 3 — AI & Transcription (The Core Cost Layer)

Component	Technology & Pricing	Why This	Alternative	Stage
Real-time Transcription	Deepgram Nova-3 Streaming $0.0077/min ($0.46/hr)	Sub-300ms first-word latency. Best streaming STT in 2026. $200 free credits on signup. 36+ languages. Speaker diarization included.	OpenAI Realtime-Whisper — $0.017/min (2.2x more expensive). AWS Transcribe — $0.024/min (3.1x more). AssemblyAI — no real-time streaming at same quality.	Stage 1
Batch Transcription (post-call cleanup)	AssemblyAI Universal-3.5 Pro $0.0035/min ($0.21/hr)	Cheapest accurate batch STT in August 2026 — undercuts Deepgram batch ($0.0043/min). 99 languages. Bundles summarisation + sentiment + PII redaction.	Deepgram batch — 23% more expensive for same quality at scale. OpenAI Whisper — no native streaming.	Stage 1
AI Insight Engine (per note point)	Claude Haiku 4.5 API $1/$5 per MTok in/out	Fastest, cheapest Claude model for per-keystroke insight flashes. Each insight = ~300 tokens in + ~400 tokens out. Prompt caching cuts 90% of repeated context cost.	Claude Sonnet 5 — 2x more costly; GPT-4o-mini — comparable cost but worse instruction following for structured JSON output	Stage 1
MOM Draft Engine	Claude Sonnet 5 API $2/$10 per MTok in/out	MOM is a high-value, complex output — needs Sonnet quality. Generated once per session, not per keystroke. Batch API gives 50% discount for non-urgent drafts.	Haiku — quality too low for formal MOM documents; Opus 5.5 — 2x cost for marginal improvement	Stage 1
Capability Matching (service catalog check)	Claude Haiku 4.5 + Vector DB Pgvector (free in PostgreSQL)	Embed service catalog once per tenant update. Semantic match each requirement against catalog using cosine similarity. Haiku classifies: ✅/❌/🔶. Near-zero marginal cost after initial setup.	OpenAI Embeddings — $0.02/MTok; Pinecone — $70/month minimum	Stage 1
Multilingual STT (Stage 4+)	Deepgram Nova-3 Multilingual + Deepgram Flux Multilingual	Flux Multilingual (April 2026) — first conversational STT with integrated end-of-turn detection. 55+ languages. Median EOT under 300ms.	Google Cloud Chirp ($0.016/min) — 2x more expensive; Azure Cognitive — no better accuracy	Stage 4
Sentiment & Scoring	AssemblyAI LeMUR (bundled) Included in batch plan	AssemblyAI bundles LeMUR (LLM on audio), sentiment analysis, topic detection in the $0.21/hr batch plan. No extra cost.	Separate sentiment model — adds latency and cost; OpenAI function calls on transcript — more expensive	Stage 2

Layer 4 — Infrastructure & Storage

Component	Technology & Cost	Why This	Stage
Cloud Provider	AWS — Primary: ap-south-1 (Mumbai) Secondary: ap-southeast-1 (Singapore)	Best latency for India + SEA. Data residency compliance built-in from day one. AWS Free Tier covers early stage.	Stage 1
App Server	AWS ECS Fargate (containerised) ~$35–60/month for 2 tasks (0.5 vCPU, 1GB each)	Serverless containers — no EC2 management. Auto-scales. Pay per second. Docker-based deployment.	Stage 1
Database	RDS PostgreSQL db.t3.medium ~$52/month Single-AZ → $104 Multi-AZ (Stage 3)	Managed, automated backups, pgvector extension for embeddings. Row-Level Security for multi-tenancy.	Stage 1
Redis Cache	ElastiCache cache.t3.micro ~$12–25/month	BullMQ queue + session cache + rate limiting + tenant catalog cache.	Stage 1
Audio Storage	AWS S3 Standard → S3 Intelligent-Tiering $0.023/GB/month → auto-moves to $0.0125 Infrequent Access	Cost auto-optimises as recordings age. 90-day retention default for free tier. Paid tier = 1 year. Enterprise = custom.	Stage 1
CDN	AWS CloudFront $0.0085/GB transfer (India)	Serves web app and transcript exports. 1TB free/month via CloudFront free tier.	Stage 1
EU Data Region	AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland) All EU tenant data stays here	GDPR compliance from launch. RDS read replica + S3 bucket in EU region. No data leaves EU.	Stage 4
Monitoring	Sentry (errors) + Datadog free tier → AWS CloudWatch	Sentry free tier handles error tracking. CloudWatch for AWS metrics. Saves $200–500/month vs paid Datadog at early stage.	Stage 1

Layer 5 — Auth, Payments & Integrations

Component	Technology & Cost	Why This	Stage
Authentication	Clerk (auth-as-a-service) Free up to 10,000 MAU → $25/month after	Handles Google/social OAuth, magic links, MFA, org/team management, SSO (SAML) for enterprise. Saves 2–3 weeks of dev time.	Stage 1
India Payments	Razorpay 2% per transaction	UPI, NetBanking, Cards, EMI. GST-compliant invoicing built in. No monthly fee.	Stage 3
Global Payments	Stripe 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction	140+ currencies, subscription management, tax calculation (Stripe Tax), multi-country payouts.	Stage 4
Email	AWS SES $0.10 per 1,000 emails	Cheapest transactional email. MOM delivery, follow-up drafts, session summaries. 62,000 free/month from EC2.	Stage 1
Google Meet Integration	Chrome Extension + Google Meet Web API	Browser extension captures audio tab stream. No bot joins. Works in-browser natively.	Stage 1
Zoom / Teams	Chrome Extension tab capture + Zoom SDK (Stage 3)	Tab audio capture works immediately. Native Zoom SDK integration for non-browser Zoom in Stage 3.	Stage 2–3
CRM Integrations	Zapier + Make webhooks → Native HubSpot/Zoho SDK	Zapier/Make gives 5,000+ app connections for free to users in Stage 3. Native SDKs for top 3 CRMs in Stage 4.	Stage 3
CI/CD	GitHub Actions → AWS CodePipeline	GitHub Actions free for public repos and 2000 min/month private. Auto-deploy on push. Zero-downtime deployments via ECS rolling update.	Stage 1

⚠️ Revenue ₹499 → Margin: -₹14 (thin at default usage)

⚡ Pro User Margin Fix Strategy

The margin at Pro level is tight because transcription cost dominates. Three levers fix this:
1. Prompt caching — The service catalog + system prompt (same across all notes in a session) gets cached at 10% of input cost. Saves ~60% of Haiku cost per session.
2. Usage limits — Pro = 600 min/month max. Above that, pay-per-use ($0.50 per extra 60 min). Average user uses 540 min, so this is rarely hit but caps downside.
3. Volume discount with Deepgram — At 1M minutes/month, negotiate 30–40% volume discount (standard for startups at scale). Drops transcription to ~$0.005/min, making Pro highly profitable.

Revenue ₹7,999 → Still a loss at heavy usage. Fixed at 25+ users in team (infra costs spread further). Scale is the margin.

💡 The Key Insight on Unit Economics

Transcription is 70–75% of variable cost. Everything else (AI, storage, infra) is manageable. The business becomes profitable at scale through:
1. Volume discounts with Deepgram (negotiated at 500K+ min/month)
2. Usage caps per tier — prevents heavy users from destroying margins
3. Infrastructure cost spreading — fixed AWS cost divided across more users
4. Batch API for non-real-time jobs — 50% off Claude for MOM, analytics, follow-up email
5. Prompt caching — 90% cost reduction on repeated context (system prompts, service catalogs)

At 5,000 paying users (Stage 3 target), infra cost per user drops significantly. At that scale, Pro plan margin turns positive.
