Krisp review

Krisp bundles useful voice tools, but the best price requires annual billing—and its products are separate installs.

The bottom line

Strong voice features, but separate products and subscription pricing make switching a judgment call.

Krisp covers noise cancellation, meeting transcripts and AI notes, with separate products for call centers and developers. Meeting AI Core starts at $8 per user/month with annual billing, or $16 monthly; there’s no free plan, though a 7-day premium trial is listed. Core limits accent conversion to 1 hour a day and includes 10 GB of storage.

The price is harder to justify if you only need noise reduction: Reddit commenters point to free Nvidia options for supported hardware, while Krisp users report both good results and choppy voice quality. We’d shortlist Krisp for teams that will use its meeting or call-center tools too, but compare alternatives before paying just to suppress background noise. The published plan details say little about standard support.

Good fit if

  • Teams needing AI meeting notes
  • Call centers evaluating voice AI
  • Users who need accent conversion

Skip it if

  • People seeking only free noise suppression
  • Teams avoiding annual billing
  • Linux users seeking a simple setup

01What Krisp actually does

Krisp is a Voice AI suite for clearer calls, meeting records and real-time conversation support. It is not one all-in-one app: its products handle different jobs and are installed individually. The lineup covers noise cancellation, accent conversion, meeting transcription and AI notes, plus call-center tools and developer offerings.

For meetings, Krisp can suppress background noise, echo and cross-talk, record audio and video, transcribe conversations and generate notes and action items. Accent conversion is another feature, with availability and usage limits varying by plan. Call Center AI adds agent-focused voice tools, including real-time translation as an add-on. The developer products expose voice features for integration into other services.

That separation matters when switching. A team looking for quieter calls may need a different product and plan from one that wants CRM-connected notes or voice translation. According to the pricing page, Meeting AI Core starts at $8 per user per month with annual billing, while Call Center AI and developer pricing follow separate terms.

02Where Krisp is strong

Krisp’s appeal is that it goes beyond filtering background noise. Meeting AI combines transcription, recordings and generated notes, while higher tiers add accent conversion and integrations. Meeting AI Advanced lists Salesforce and ConnectWise integrations, a manager view and 60 GB of storage. Call-center teams get a separate set of tools, including agent voice isolation and real-time monitoring on CC Core.

The pricing page lists Meeting AI Core at $16 per user per month when billed monthly, or $8 with annual billing. It includes unlimited AI note-taking and noise cancellation, a mobile app, 10 GB of storage and one hour a day of accent conversion. Advanced costs $30 monthly or $15 with annual billing; its listed allowance is four hours a day of speaker-side accent conversion, with unlimited listener-side conversion.

There is some positive user feedback on basic noise suppression. One Reddit commenter says Krisp worked with a laptop mic and helped in a noisy coffee shop; another reports using it to reduce typing and other sounds. Those are individual experiences, not a guarantee that it will suit every microphone or voice.

03Where it falls short

The main catch is that pricing, limits and features are split across products. Meeting AI has a seven-day premium trial, but no free plan is listed. Core caps accent conversion at one hour a day; Advanced raises speaker-side conversion to four hours a day. Storage is 10 GB on Core and 60 GB on Advanced. Enterprise pricing is custom, and the page does not publish rates for CC Advanced or either developer tier.

Some costs are still unclear: Call Center AI Voice Translation and Voice Security are add-ons with no published prices, as is extra storage. Translation supports 60+ languages, but it is an add-on rather than a priced-in CC Advanced feature. CC Core is listed at $15 per agent per month with annual billing; CC Advanced offers a 14-day evaluation, not a published price.

Noise suppression is not universally praised. One Reddit user says Krisp made their voice choppy, while others point to free alternatives such as NVIDIA Broadcast or built-in platform suppression. That makes the subscription a judgment call, especially if noise reduction is all you need.

04Krisp pricing: what you'll actually pay

Krisp has no ongoing free plan. Meeting AI’s 7-day free trial includes unlimited transcription, noise cancellation, recording, AI notes and action items.

  • Core: $16 per user/month with monthly billing, or $8 per user/month billed annually. It includes 1 hour/day of accent conversion and 10 GB storage.
  • Advanced: $30 per user/month monthly, or $15 annually. The step up doubles the listed annual price and adds 4 hours/day of speaker-side accent conversion, unlimited listener-side conversion, 60 GB storage and integrations including Salesforce.
  • Enterprise: custom pricing; the price is not published.

Call Center AI CC Core is $15 per agent/month, billed annually. CC Advanced pricing is not published; it offers a 14-day evaluation. Voice Translation and Voice Security add-on prices are also not published. Extra storage is available up to 2 TB on Core and Advanced, and 5 TB on Enterprise, but its price is not published. Check which product you need before comparing totals: Meeting AI, Call Center AI and developer products have separate plans. Annual billing is required for CC Core, while Meeting AI lists both monthly and annual rates; the pricing page says annual billing saves 50% on Meeting AI Core and Advanced.

05Switching to (or from) Krisp

Krisp’s products are separate and installed individually, so switching may mean evaluating and rolling out only the tools your team needs—meeting transcription, noise cancellation, accent conversion or call-center features—rather than replacing everything at once. The published material does not specify migration steps, supported imports or a data-export process. Confirm how to retrieve recordings, transcripts and notes before moving; export options and retention terms are not published here.

The main commitment to weigh is plan fit and billing. Meeting AI’s annual rates are lower than its monthly rates, but CC Core is billed annually, and switching products may require separate subscriptions. We can’t verify reasons people leave from Reddit: no Reddit posts or comments were included in the published sources. So we won’t attribute churn to reliability, price or missing features. If you need simple noise suppression, Linux support or a fully documented exit path, verify those details with Krisp before migrating; the published material does not establish them.

From the threadsWhat users say

Users describe Krisp as effective at cutting background noise, including with a laptop mic, but one commenter says it made their voice choppy. Pricing changes have also prompted some users to look for alternatives, so the reports are positive on noise reduction but mixed on audio quality and value.

Questions people ask

What is the Krisp app?

Krisp is a Voice AI platform for teams, call centers, and developers. Its separate products cover noise cancellation, accent conversion, meeting transcription and AI notes, with voice translation and CRM sync also available in some offerings. The products are installed individually, so Krisp is more than a single noise-canceling app.

How much does Krisp cost?

The listed Meeting AI Core price is $16 per user per month with monthly billing, or $8 per user per month with annual billing. Advanced is $30 monthly or $15 annually per user. Meeting AI has a 7-day trial, but no free plan is listed. Call Center AI CC Core is listed at $15 per agent per month, billed annually.

Are there open-source alternatives to Krisp?

One Linux Reddit thread presents HushMic as an open-source noise-suppression virtual mic, with support for PipeWire and PulseAudio applications. The post describes choosing a microphone to filter and switching between quality and lightweight models. Commenters also mention Easy Effects and RNNoise, but the thread does not establish their licensing or compare their performance directly with Krisp.

Does Discord still use Krisp?

A commenter in a Reddit thread says Krisp is what Discord uses, but the published sources do not confirm whether Discord still uses it now. Treat that comment as a user report, not current product documentation. The sources also do not specify which Discord plans, settings, or platforms might include noise suppression.

Is Krisp secure?

The available sources do not establish a general security or privacy guarantee for Krisp. One Reddit commenter speculates about local processing, but does not verify it. Krisp lists on-device private transcription and recordings for Meeting AI Enterprise, plus a BAA for teams with 100 or more seats; those plan details do not establish how every Krisp product handles data.
