Krisp

Editorial Review

Krisp has established itself as the leading standalone AI noise cancellation solution, and for good reason. The core noise cancellation technology is genuinely impressive — it effectively eliminates barking dogs, construction noise, keyboard clatter, and other common remote work distractions. Because it works as a system-level virtual audio device, it's compatible with virtually any communication application without requiring integration. The product is particularly valuable for remote workers in noisy environments, call center agents, and anyone who regularly takes professional calls from less-than-ideal settings. The fact that audio processing happens locally on-device is a meaningful privacy advantage. More recently, Krisp has expanded into meeting transcription and AI notes, positioning itself as a broader meeting productivity tool. The free tier provides limited daily usage which is sufficient for light users but quickly becomes restrictive for anyone in back-to-back meetings. The per-seat pricing can add up for larger teams, and while the noise cancellation is excellent, the newer meeting notes features are less mature compared to dedicated tools like Otter.ai or Fathom.
