Krisp Review
Real-time, on-device noise and echo removal that works as a virtual mic with any app.
Try Krisp →Bottom line
Krisp is a utility rather than a content-generation tool — it cleans your own live audio rather than producing new voice or music, so the usual commercial-rights questions don’t apply the way they do elsewhere in this category. Aumiqx’s 100-plus call test found its noise removal demonstrably superior to what’s built into Zoom, Teams or Meet, and on-device processing means it works with essentially any app.
Quick facts
Who it’s for
Best for
- Remote workers, streamers and podcasters recording in noisy environments
- Anyone who wants real-time cleanup while recording rather than fixing it afterward
- Privacy-conscious users, since processing happens on-device
Not for
- Mobile recording — real-time noise cancellation isn’t available on mobile apps
- Older or lower-powered hardware — the app can be CPU-heavy
- Users already satisfied with Zoom/Teams/macOS’s built-in suppression, for many everyday calls
Pros and cons
Pros
- Aumiqx’s 100+ call test found Krisp’s noise removal demonstrably superior to Zoom, Teams or Meet’s built-in suppression
- Works as a virtual mic/speaker with essentially any app — Zoom, Teams, Discord, OBS
- On-device processing keeps audio private; also includes AI meeting transcription/notes/summaries
- Over 1 billion minutes of monthly Voice AI processing across 200M+ devices, per Krisp’s July 2025 release
Cons
- No free plan on the vendor pricing page — only a 7-day free trial
- Mobile apps lack real-time noise cancellation
- Can be CPU-heavy on older hardware
- G2 reviewers flag a 60% price increase and a short 7-day trial
Krisp’s 7-day free trial includes unlimited noise cancellation; after that, Core costs $8/mo per user billed yearly, or $16 billed monthly.

Our verdict
Krisp sits between your microphone and whatever app you’re using, stripping background noise and echo in both directions before the audio reaches Zoom, Teams, Discord, OBS or anything else. Because it processes audio on-device, it works with essentially any application without needing separate integrations, and privacy-conscious users benefit from audio never leaving the machine. Aumiqx’s 100-plus call test is the strongest independent evidence here, concluding that Krisp’s AI noise removal is demonstrably superior to what’s built into Zoom, Teams or Meet — a meaningful claim given how much those platforms have improved their own suppression.
Krisp is a utility, not a content generator, so the usual AI-audio commercial-rights questions don’t really apply — you’re cleaning your own recorded or live voice, not licensing someone else’s. The 7-day free trial covers every premium feature, and Core at $8/mo per user billed yearly ($16 billed monthly) includes unlimited noise cancellation and AI meeting notes. G2 reviewers are broadly positive about effectiveness but flag a 60% price increase and a short 7-day trial as points of friction, and it’s worth noting that built-in suppression in Zoom, Teams and macOS has closed some of the gap for casual use — Krisp’s edge is clearest for anyone recording in genuinely noisy environments who can’t control the room.
