Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 38 of the 48 other AI meeting note takers we grade
Krisp combines noise cancellation with an AI note taker in a single app. It works at the audio level with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack huddles and other calling apps, removing background noise in both directions while transcribing the meeting without a bot in the call. It also offers real-time accent conversion. The pricing page lists a 7-day free trial followed by paid plans.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Krisp, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for noisy calls that also need notes
Krisp removes background noise from calls in both directions and takes notes too, with no bot joining.
- 2
Paid plans start at $8 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $8 per user / month, billed annually.
- 3
You can try it first
7-day free trial with all premium features, no credit card required.
- 4
It runs on 4 platforms
macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.

Two-way noise cancellation
Removes background noise, other voices and room echo from your microphone and from the audio you hear. It is included without a usage cap on every plan.
- 6
Bot-free note taker
Transcribes and records from the desktop app, so no bot has to join the meeting; a bot can be enabled when you prefer one. Notes include a summary, action items and next steps.
- 7
Real-time transcription
Krisp's product pages list live transcription in 17 languages. Transcription and audio recording are unlimited on Core and Advanced.
- 8
A 3.0 GPA, above 38 of 48
That is against the other AI meeting note takers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9

The report card
Best for noisy calls that also need notes
Krisp removes background noise from calls in both directions and takes notes too, with no bot joining. Core is $8 a month on the yearly plan, with transcription, recording and notes unlimited. There's no free plan, only a 7-day trial after which recording switches off, monthly billing doubles the price, and Salesforce and HIPAA need dearer plans.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Core is $8 a user a month on the yearly plan, inside the cheaper quarter of this category, for unlimited transcription, recording, AI notes and noise cancellation, plus Slack, Notion, Zapier, HubSpot and an API. Pay monthly and it doubles to $16. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan. You get 7 days with every premium feature and no card asked for, and after that Krisp's own App Store listing says recording and file import switch off. |
| Features | A | Nothing else here does this combination: two-way noise cancellation on every plan, a note taker that records from the desktop app with no bot (or with one if you prefer), live transcription in 17 languages, real-time accent conversion, and a chat that answers from past meetings. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but nothing to set up: it works at the audio level with whatever calling app you use, so there's nothing to add to each meeting. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, with Slack, Notion, Zapier, Teams and HubSpot plus an API on Core. No web app, and Salesforce and ConnectWise need Advanced at $15. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Krisp is for
- Fits if you take calls from a cafe, an open office or a noisy house
- Works for notes on Zoom, Teams, Meet or a Slack huddle without a bot joining
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan to stay on, as there's a 7-day trial and then recording and file import switch off
- Pricey if you pay month by month, at $16 against $8 a month on the yearly plan
- Tight if you lean on accent conversion, which Core caps at 1 hour a day
- Watch out: Salesforce, ConnectWise and 60 GB of storage need Advanced at $15; Core has 10 GB
- Not for you if you need HIPAA, a BAA or on-device transcription, which are Enterprise only, or a web app, which isn't listed
Good to know
Good for
- Calls taken from noisy places such as open offices, cafes or home
- People who want meeting notes without a bot joining the call
- Teams that want accent conversion alongside note-taking
Worth knowing
- There is a 7-day free trial rather than a free plan. Krisp's App Store listing says recording and file import are disabled once the trial ends.
- Accent conversion is capped at 1 hour a day on Core.
- Salesforce and ConnectWise integrations and 60 GB of storage need Advanced; Core includes 10 GB.
- HIPAA compliance, BAA signing and on-device transcription are Enterprise only.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Krisp you would be making a bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 38 of the 48 other AI meeting note takers we grade. It costs $96 a year.
What you could not
- A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes.
- Audio cleaned up live as you speak.
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features A, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Krisp’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
