Krisp
AI noise cancellation and meeting notes for calls
Overview
Krisp's core feature, noise cancellation, is what it's known for and reviewers consistently rate it well for that specific job. It runs at the system level, so it cleans up audio no matter which call app you're using, which is handy if your team is scattered across Zoom, Meet, and Teams. The meeting notes and transcription layer is newer and more of a mixed bag: it's convenient to have in the same app, but it's not the strongest transcription tool on the market.
The bigger sticking point is price history. Krisp raised its Core plan from roughly $60/year to $96/year (about a 60% jump), and that increase shows up repeatedly in Reddit and Trustpilot complaints, especially from individual users who signed up when it was cheaper. If you only need noise cancellation and not the transcription bundle, it's worth comparing against cheaper single-purpose noise cancellation tools or hardware alternatives before committing to a subscription.
Key Features
Real-Time Noise Cancellation: Removes background noise, echo, and cross-talk on both your mic and incoming audio.

Accent Conversion: Smooths out speaker or listener accents in real time (limited minutes on lower tiers).
Works With Any App: Runs underneath Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack, WebEx, and Discord rather than being tied to one platform.
CRM and Workflow Integrations: Connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier, and Pipedrive to push meeting data downstream.
Call Center AI: A separate product line for contact centers with real-time monitoring and after-call summaries.

Pros
Strong Noise Cancellation: Consistently praised on G2 as reliable and easy to set up, the core reason most people install it.
Platform-Agnostic: Works underneath any call app instead of locking you into one video conferencing tool.

Broad Compliance Coverage: SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS support make it usable in regulated industries.
Generous Free Trial: 7 days with full premium features and no credit card required.
Cons
Weaker Transcription Than Dedicated Tools: G2 reviewers report more transcription inaccuracy complaints than competitors like Otter.ai or Fireflies at similar price points.
Price Hike Backlash: Raising the Core plan roughly 60% (from about $60 to $96/year) drew visible complaints on Reddit and a Trustpilot rating of 3.5/5 from individual users.
Occasional Audio Glitches: Some users report awkward pauses, cutting voice, or mic and speaker issues during calls.
Accent Conversion Is Capped: Lower tiers limit accent conversion to a set number of hours per day rather than unlimited use.
What Makes It Unique
App-Agnostic Noise Cancellation: Unlike Zoom's or Teams' built-in noise suppression, Krisp works at the system level across any call app, so you get the same clean audio whether you're on Zoom, Meet, Teams, or a plain phone call.
