AI noise cancellation, bot-free meeting notes and transcription, transcription in English plus 15 more languages, custom vocabulary, works across any meeting app.
Before you pay
What you pay for
Krisp does two things: it removes background noise in any meeting app, on both sides of the call, and it takes meeting notes without adding a bot to the call. No other tool on this site does the first. If you only need notes, several note-takers have a permanent free plan; if noise is your problem, Krisp is the one to try.
What a year costs
Core is $16 per user a month billed monthly, $192 a year, or $8 a month on yearly billing, $96 a year: the annual plan halves the price. Advanced is $30 a month, $360 a year, or $15 on yearly billing, $180 a year. Our first reading, on 6 August, took the yearly figure; since 12 September the record holds the monthly price, so the change is a correction, not a price rise.
What we would check before paying
There is no permanent free plan, only a seven-day trial with no card: use it on your own machine, since noise removal uses noticeable CPU on older computers. Transcription covers English plus 15 more languages; check yours is among them.
The limits to know

Is Krisp safe to use on client calls?
Krisp states that noise processing runs locally on your device rather than sending audio to a server; that is the vendor's central claim, and we have not independently verified it during this research cycle. Transcription and recording are separate features in any case: if you switch them on for client calls, treat them like any other store of client data and check what your contract lets you record.
Is Krisp the same as KrispCall?
No. KrispCall is an online phone system from a different company. This record covers Krisp (krisp.ai): noise cancellation on calls and a meeting assistant with transcription.
Does Krisp record meetings and store transcripts?
For the meeting assistant, yes according to Krisp: its security page states that this feature stores more data in the Krisp cloud, such as meeting transcripts and recordings. The page gives neither a storage region nor a retention period; it points to its Trust Center instead. Page read on 25.10.2026. Before switching it on for client calls, check what your contract lets you record.
Is this a hands-on Krisp review?

To judge audio quality, the trial on your own microphone is the only measure that counts.
