Remove the noise around you
Krisp strips background noise, the voices of people near you, and room echo from your microphone. The filtering happens on your computer: the sound of your voice isn’t sent to Krisp’s servers for this.

Krisp pricing, use cases, and first steps
Krisp is an app installed on your computer that does two things. It removes the noise around you during a call: keyboard, construction, colleagues talking, echo. And it takes the meeting notes without a bot in the call: transcript of the conversation, summary, and action items. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack, and other calling tools.
Krisp has a free plan. The recommended plan to start with: Core, $8 per user per month, billed yearly ($16 billed monthly). Prices checked on October 3, 2026 on the vendor’s official page.

What Krisp does
Who it’s for: people who take calls from an open office, a café, a train, or home, and who also want meeting notes.
Remove the noise on the other end
Krisp also cleans up the sound coming in. If the other person is in a train station or a car, you hear them more clearly, even if they don’t have Krisp.
Take notes without a bot in the call
Because the sound passes through Krisp, the app writes down the conversation and prepares the notes without adding anything to the meeting. You choose what’s kept: the text only, the audio, or the video.
Also
- The summary and the action items
- Ask a meeting a question
- A bot, for when you can’t record yourself
- On your phone: in-person meetings and files
- Soften an accent in English
Krisp pricing
Krisp publishes its prices in dollars. Yearly billing costs half as much as monthly billing. Krisp also sells a plan for call centers, which is not covered here.
| Plan | Price | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Free trial | $0 for 7 days | Testing on your real calls |
| Core Recommended to start | $8 per user per month, billed yearly ($16 billed monthly) | Most employees |
| Advanced | $15 per user per month, billed yearly ($30 billed monthly) | Sales teams and managers |
| Enterprise | Custom pricing | Large organizations |
What the free plan includes
A free 7-day trial, no credit card needed, with every feature. The pricing page no longer shows a permanent free plan. The help center still describes a free plan after the trial (60 minutes of noise cancellation and 2 meeting notes per day): we could not confirm that it is still offered.
Nova’s advice
Use the 7-day trial to test Krisp on your noisiest calls: that’s where you see whether it’s worth the price. If you keep it, the yearly Core plan is enough for an employee. If all you want is meeting notes, free tools will do the job.

Your data. Noise filtering happens on your computer, but transcripts, notes, and recordings are stored in the United States.
What it does less well
- You have to select “Krisp Microphone” and “Krisp Speaker” in each calling tool. If you forget, nothing is filtered and nothing is noted.
- No permanent free plan is shown on the pricing page: after 7 days, you have to pay.
Take a noisy call and hear the differenceKrisp- Start a test call with a colleague, in the tool you normally use.
- Check in the call’s audio settings that “Krisp Microphone” and “Krisp Speaker” are selected.
- Type loudly on your keyboard or play music next to you, and ask your colleague what they hear.
- Turn off the “Noise Cancellation” toggle in Krisp for a few seconds, then turn it back on. Your colleague hears the difference.
- Hang up, then open Krisp: the transcript and the call notes are waiting for you.
- Review the summary and the action items, and correct any proper names.
