Is Krisp worth paying for?
Krisp is worth paying for if noisy calls are a daily problem, because few meeting note takers also clean up your microphone and the other side's audio. If you only want meeting notes, cheaper or free note takers cover that job.
The app sits between your microphone and whichever call app you use, so noise cancellation works in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack huddles, Webex and Discord. On top of that it records and transcribes meetings on your computer, writes summaries and action items, and can push them to Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack or Notion. One Product Hunt reviewer says the noise cancellation works even in a coffee shop.
How much does Krisp cost in the UK?
Krisp charges in US dollars: Core is $16 a month per user billed monthly or $8 a month billed annually, and Advanced is $30 a month or $15 a month billed annually. Your card provider converts the charge into pounds, so the sterling amount moves with the exchange rate and may carry a foreign transaction fee.
- Core: unlimited bot-free note taking, noise cancellation, AI chat, the mobile app, one hour a day of accent conversion and 10 GB of storage
- Advanced: everything in Core plus four hours a day of speaker accent conversion, a manager view, Salesforce and ConnectWise integrations and 60 GB of storage
- Enterprise: priced on request, with SSO, SCIM, on-device private transcription, a choice of data centre location and unlimited storage
There is no free-forever plan. New accounts get a 7-day trial of the paid features without entering a card.
Krisp vs Granola vs Circleback: which is better?
Krisp is the better pick when audio quality matters as much as the notes; Granola and Circleback are more focused on the notes themselves. Both rivals have free plans, which Krisp does not.
Granola also captures meetings without a bot and is built around a notepad you type into during the call, which the AI then fills out. Circleback offers either a bot or a bot-free desktop app, adds Apple Watch and mobile recording for in-person meetings, and lists Pro at $18 a month or $15 billed annually. Neither cancels background noise on your own microphone, which is the job Krisp started with and still leads on.
Is Krisp safe to use for confidential meetings?
Krisp states that English transcripts are created on your own device, that meeting data is only stored in its cloud if you opt in, and that customer data is never used to train its models. The catch for UK organisations is location: Krisp says all stored data sits on servers in the United States and it does not offer regional storage.
The company states it holds a SOC 2 Type II report and PCI DSS certification, encrypts data at rest with AES-256 and uses TLS 1.2 in transit. Summaries are generated with Microsoft Azure. HIPAA business associate agreements are only offered on the top tier for teams of 100 seats or more. Anyone handling client data under UK GDPR should check the transfer arrangements with their data protection lead before rolling it out.
How do you get Krisp cheaper?
Annual billing is the main way to pay less: Krisp shows it as a 50% saving, taking Core from $16 to $8 a month per user. Teams of more than 50 members can ask sales for volume pricing.
Krisp's pricing page does not mention student, education or charity discounts. The 7-day trial is the way to test noise cancellation and note quality on your own calls before committing to a year.
