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 1,600-plus reviewers rate it 4.7/5 — one of the more reliable noise-cancellation tools for remote and hybrid work. It's a focused utility rather than a platform: there is no free plan, only a seven-day trial, the best features sit behind the $8-15/month Core and Advanced tiers, and Trustpilot reviewers (2.9 from 413) report a price increase plus renewals charged without notice. 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 VIVA and RTC SDKs exist for developers embedding the technology directly.
What we found
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 4.7 out of 5 across more than 1,600 reviews — Trustpilot, where the billing complaints collect, has it at 2.9 from 413 — 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. There's now a Voice AI Platform for call centers with real-time speech-to-speech translation across 60-plus languages, an accent-conversion feature, and VIVA, built to help AI voice agents handle turn-taking. Two SDK families — VIVA for AI voice agents and RTC for human calls, on Windows, Mac, Linux, web, iOS and Android — and a launch partnership on Twilio's Audio Processor API put Krisp's noise cancellation into other companies' products, not just its own app.
Pricing has crept up — one reviewer reports going from $60 to $96 a year — and the pricing page offers no free plan, only a seven-day trial, 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.
Paid plans are Core at $8 a user a month billed annually ($16 monthly) and Advanced at $15 ($30), which Krisp marks most popular and which adds four hours a day of accent conversion. Krisp says it holds SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance and never trains its models on meeting data.

Notable facts
- Krisp was founded by Armenian engineers who originally built the noise cancellation algorithm as part of their work at a San Francisco AI startup before spinning it out.

- Krisp grew 30x in 30 days during the March 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns, when millions of people suddenly needed professional audio for home-based calls.
