# Krisp Review: Is the AI Noise Cancellation Worth It? URL: https://anyvoice.app/review/krisp-review Type: review Locale: en Published: 2026-07-28 Updated: 2026-07-29 --- > We cross-checked Krisp's noise cancellation and pricing claims against four review platforms and its own live site, not a press kit. *Verified review · July 2026* ## Krisp Review: Is the AI Noise Cancellation Worth It? We cross-checked Krisp's own claims against G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, and Product Hunt data, then verified pricing and features directly on krisp.ai. ## Verdict **Score: 7.8/10** Krisp is a background-noise remover that sits between your microphone and any call or recording app, and in 2026 it has grown into a broader AI meeting assistant with transcription and note-taking. Across G2, Capterra, and Product Hunt it holds a 4.5+ average, but Trustpilot sits at 3.4/5 across 401 reviews, mostly over billing complaints. Verdict: strong on the core noise removal, worth reading the fine print on annual billing. **Quick scores:** - Noise cancellation quality: 9/10 - Pricing transparency: 6.5/10 - Platform support: 7/10 - Customer support: 6/10 **Pros:** - Works as a virtual audio device inside any app, no per-platform integration needed - Processes audio on-device, so nothing leaves your machine for privacy-sensitive workflows - Bidirectional noise removal cleans both your mic and incoming callers in real time **Cons:** - Trustpilot rating sits at 3.4/5 across 401 reviews, driven largely by billing and auto-renewal complaints - Free tier caps noise cancellation at 60 minutes per day, tight for anyone on back-to-back calls - Accent Conversion is capped at 1 hour/day even on the $8/month Core plan, unlimited only on the $15/month Advanced tier *Call to action: Try Krisp Free* (Free plan available, 60 min/day noise cancellation, no card required) > **Disclosure** — Disclosure: this page contains affiliate links, including one to Krisp.

The pricing figures, feature tiers, and screenshots below come from Krisp's live site and independent review platforms, not a sponsored briefing. ## How we verified this review - **Tested for:** 14 days - **Plan paid:** Verified against Krisp's public Free Trial, Core ($8/mo annual), and Advanced ($15/mo annual) tiers - **Version tested:** Krisp desktop app (Mac/Windows) and marketing site, verified July 2026 - **Test period:** 2026-07-15 → 2026-07-28 **Test categories:** Pricing verification, Feature-tier mapping, Multi-platform review aggregation (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Product Hunt), Screenshot audit of the live site We did not run Krisp as a paid daily driver for this piece, and we say so plainly rather than implying a hands-on trial we didn't do. Instead we cross-verified every claim over two weeks in July 2026 against primary sources: Krisp's own pricing and feature pages, scraped and screenshotted directly rather than taken from a press kit, and four independent review platforms (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Product Hunt) pulled on July 28, 2026. Where sources disagreed, for instance G2 showing a materially higher score than Trustpilot, we report both numbers instead of averaging them away. Every price, tier limit, and integration count below traces back to krisp.ai/pricing as it stood in July 2026; Krisp updates pricing periodically, so treat exact dollar figures as a snapshot, not a permanent quote. ## Should you route your calls through Krisp? **YES if you...** - Remote workers and support agents on 4+ hours of calls a day who need consistent mic cleanup across whatever app they're stuck using - Podcasters and audiobook narrators recording raw takes at home who want cleaner input before they touch a compressor - Teams that already live in Zoom, Teams, Slack huddles, or Discord and want one noise layer instead of per-app plugins **NO if you...** - Anyone under the 60 min/day free cap looking for a permanent free option, Core starts at $8/month billed annually - Teams who need native mobile noise cancellation on iOS or Android calls without paying for Core or Advanced - Users who've read the Trustpilot thread on auto-renewal and want a vendor with a looser billing posture ## Krisp pricing ### Free Trial — $0 60 min/day noise cancellation, full feature unlock during the trial window - Unlimited transcription during trial - Unlimited noise cancellation during trial - Unlimited audio and video recording during trial - Limited AI accent conversion ### Core — $8/mo billed annually ($16/mo month-to-month) *(Most common pick)* For individual remote workers and podcasters - Unlimited noise cancellation - Unlimited AI note-taker - Mobile app - Multilingual transcript - 1 hr/day accent conversion - 10 GB storage - Integrations: HubSpot, Slack, Notion, Zapier, Teams, plus API ### Advanced — $15/mo billed annually ($30/mo month-to-month) For teams that need admin controls and more storage - Everything in Core - Unlimited accent conversion - Manager view - Company deal grouping - Trim and comment - 60 GB storage ### Enterprise — Custom For compliance-heavy orgs - SSO/SCIM - On-device private transcription - HIPAA compliance - Dedicated account manager - Unlimited storage **ROI breakdown:** At the Core tier ($8/month billed annually), 60 minutes/day of cleanup across roughly 20 work days a month works out to under $0.02 per hour of clean audio, cheaper than re-recording a single blown podcast take. **Hidden costs & gotchas:** - Annual billing is what gets you the $8/mo Core price, month-to-month jumps to $16/mo - Accent Conversion beyond 1 hr/day requires the $15/mo Advanced tier, not Core - Storage caps (10 GB Core, 60 GB Advanced) can matter if you keep raw recordings, not just transcripts ## Krisp across 4 review platforms Scores pulled directly from each platform in July 2026, not from Krisp's own marketing page. *[Interactive widget — see the live page for the full experience]* ## What we verified - **Free plan daily cap:** 60 minutes/day of noise cancellation *(krisp.ai/pricing, verified 2026-07-28)* - **Core plan price (annual billing):** $8 /month ($16/mo if billed monthly) *(krisp.ai/pricing)* - **Native integrations on Core:** 6 apps: HubSpot, Slack, Notion, Zapier, Teams, plus API *(krisp.ai/pricing feature list)* - **Accent Conversion cap on Core:** 1 hour/day (unlimited on the $15/mo Advanced tier) *(krisp.ai/pricing)* > Homepage: what the current product actually leads with The homepage no longer sells noise cancellation alone. It opens on Voice AI for Meetings, with noise cancellation as the entry feature and AI Note Taker, Accent AI, and Call Center AI positioned as the wider product line, a shift from Krisp's single-purpose origin. > Pricing page: how the four tiers actually gate features Core ($8/mo annual) unlocks unlimited noise cancellation and note-taking but caps Accent Conversion at 1 hr/day and storage at 10 GB. Advanced ($15/mo annual) removes the accent cap and adds manager view plus 60 GB storage. Enterprise adds SSO/SCIM and on-device private transcription, custom priced. > AI Meeting Assistant page: what ships beyond noise cancellation The feature page documents automatic meeting summaries, action-item extraction, and a searchable transcript history synced across the desktop app, framing noise cancellation as the entry point into a meeting-productivity workflow rather than the end product. ## Pros and cons, in detail ### Pros - **Works as a system-level virtual mic, not an app plugin** — Because Krisp installs as a virtual audio device, it cleans audio for Zoom, Teams, Discord, Loom, OBS, or any app that lets you pick an input, with no per-app integration to configure. - **On-device processing keeps audio off Krisp's servers** — Noise cancellation runs locally rather than routing audio through the cloud, which matters for support teams and anyone under GDPR-style data-handling requirements. - **Bidirectional cancellation cleans incoming callers too** — Krisp filters the noise on the other end of the call as well as your own mic, useful when a client dials in from a noisy street or an open-plan office. ### Cons - **Trustpilot's 3.4/5 across 401 reviews sits well below the 4.5+ seen on G2, Capterra, and Product Hunt** — The gap traces mostly to billing threads: auto-renewal on dormant accounts and a strict no-refund policy that some users only discovered after being charged for a full year. - **Mobile noise cancellation only ships inside paid tiers, not the free plan** — If your calls happen on a phone rather than a laptop, the Core plan's mobile app is the entry point, the free trial is desktop-first. - **CPU and memory overhead shows up in review threads on older machines during long calls** — Some Trustpilot and Capterra reviewers report noticeable memory use even when Krisp sits idle in the background, worth watching on a machine already under load during a video call. ## Final verdict **Score: 7.8/10** Krisp does the thing it was built for. The core noise cancellation is consistently the most-praised feature across every platform we checked, and the bidirectional cleanup, filtering noise from the other person on the call too, is still a real differentiator against built-in Zoom or Teams suppression. Where Krisp gets more mixed is everything around the core feature: billing transparency, the free tier's 60 min/day cap, and support response times that show up as the recurring complaint on Trustpilot's 3.4/5. None of that is disqualifying, but it means the decision to commit to annual billing deserves more attention than the noise cancellation quality itself, which is not really in question. Recommended for: remote workers, podcasters, and support agents who want one noise layer that works across every app they already use. Not recommended for: anyone who wants a permanent free tier past 60 minutes a day, or buyers who've read the Trustpilot billing threads and want to avoid that friction entirely. **Dimensional scoring:** - **Noise cancellation quality:** 9/10 — The most consistently praised feature across all four platforms - **Pricing transparency:** 6.5/10 — Annual vs monthly gap is steep, and the free cap is easy to miss - **Platform support:** 7/10 — Works with any app via virtual audio device, mobile is paid-tier only - **Customer support:** 6/10 — 3.4/5 on Trustpilot, largely billing and refund friction *Call to action: Try Krisp Free* ## Questions people actually ask before signing up ### Does Krisp work with Discord and OBS, not just Zoom? Yes. Krisp installs as a virtual audio device at the OS level, so any app that lets you choose a microphone input, including Discord, OBS, Loom, and Teams, can route through it. ### Is Krisp's noise cancellation processed on-device or in the cloud? On-device. Krisp processes audio locally on your Mac or Windows machine rather than sending it to a server, which is the main privacy argument in its favor over cloud-based alternatives. ### What happens when the 60 minutes/day free cap runs out mid-call? Noise cancellation switches off for the rest of that day once you hit the cap; your raw, unprocessed audio still goes through, it's just no longer filtered until the daily limit resets. ### Can Krisp cancel noise from the other person on the call, not just my mic? Yes, this is the bidirectional feature: Krisp can filter background noise coming from the other participants' audio stream as well as your own outgoing mic. ### Does Krisp's AI meeting assistant work if I only want noise cancellation, not transcripts? Yes, noise cancellation and the AI Note Taker are separate features. You can use Krisp purely as a noise filter and ignore the transcription and summary tools entirely. ### Why is Krisp's Trustpilot score lower than its G2 score? Trustpilot's 3.4/5 (401 reviews) skews toward billing and refund complaints, a category of feedback that is underrepresented on G2 and Capterra, which lean toward feature and usability reviews from active users. ### Is there a Krisp app for iPhone or Android? Yes, but it ships as part of the paid Core and Advanced tiers rather than the free trial, so mobile-first users should budget for at least the $8/month annual Core plan. ## Update log - **2026-07-28** — Initial publication after a two-week multi-platform verification (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Product Hunt) and a live pricing and screenshot audit of krisp.ai. ## FAQ ### Does Krisp work with Discord and OBS, not just Zoom?
