RECATOOLS Verdict

Krisp is a dependable AI audio utility that sits between your mic/speakers and any conferencing app to strip background noise and echo in real time, with meeting transcription, AI notes and accent-conversion features layered on top. It's app-agnostic, simple to set up, and G2's 1,100-plus reviewers rate it 4.6/5 — one of the more reliable noise-cancellation tools for remote and hybrid work.

It's a focused utility rather than a platform: the best features sit behind the $8-15/month Core and Advanced tiers, and some reviewers have flagged a recent price increase plus quiet auto-renewal billing. AI-notes accuracy still varies with accents and audio quality. It's English-first but usable globally with no regional barriers, so ASEAN users get full functionality, and a Voice SDK exists for developers embedding the noise-cancellation tech directly.

What people say

Some Krisp users on Trustpilot describe a familiar SaaS gripe: the company quietly stopped sending renewal reminders, then charged cards without warning and, when confronted, declined refunds. That's a real black mark on an otherwise well-regarded product — G2 puts Krisp at 4.6 out of 5 across more than 1,100 reviews, with remote workers and sales reps praising how cleanly it strips keyboard clatter, traffic noise and barking dogs out of Zoom and Teams calls at the OS level, no app-specific plugin required.

Krisp has expanded well past noise cancellation since its 2017 founding. There's now a Voice AI Platform for call centers with real-time speech-to-speech translation across 80+ languages, an accent-conversion feature, and VIVA, built to help AI voice agents handle turn-taking. A Real-Time Voice SDK (Web, iOS, Android, desktop) and a Twilio Audio Processor API partnership put Krisp's noise-cancellation DSP into other companies' products, not just its own app.

Pricing has crept up — some G2 reviewers flagged a 60% increase — and the free trial window is only seven days, tight for evaluating a tool people tend to want to live with. Meeting transcription and AI notes are solid but accuracy still slides with heavy accents or crosstalk, and the Mac app can be resource-hungry. For anyone on back-to-back calls, though, it remains one of the more dependable noise-cancellation tools around — just read the billing terms first.
