I went from using SwiftKey to Minuum. I would say SwiftKey has better prediction, at least for predicting the next word. Minuum isn't very good right now at predicting the next word you want to type based on the previous words, though I think it has been improving. However, I think on average I probably type at about the same speed on both because Minuum allows you to be much sloppier and there is only 1 dimension.

Overall, the only real advantage of Minuum currently is its smaller size which allows you to see more of the screen... which is point. SwiftKey has more languages and currently allows for faster switching between 3 of them. And since its been around for longer is probably slightly more polished (less weird behavior when encountering weird input fields).

Oh, the other thing about Minuum is that people who haven't used it might have trouble borrowing your phone :P
