Krisp review (2026): features, pros and cons, and what to check before you buy
Noise cancellation and accent conversion software that added a bot-free AI meeting assistant for transcripts and notes.
Our take for buyers
Krisp, founded in 2017 and based in Berkeley, California, began as noise cancellation and now sells a bot-free AI meeting assistant that captures audio on the device. It suits teams on Zoom, Meet or Teams that do not want a bot joining calls. Buyers who want a pure note taker with deep CRM sync should look closely, since the product did not start in that category.
Reviewers praise noise cancellation, ease of use and the absence of a visible bot, and they mention occasional glitches, limited free trial minutes and inconsistent microphone connectivity. G2 shows 4.6 from 1,122 reviews, but that score mostly reflects the noise cancelling product, not the meeting assistant. Ask for a demo of the meeting assistant specifically and judge it separately.

What is Krisp?
Noise cancellation and accent conversion software that added a bot-free AI meeting assistant for transcripts and notes. Consider it if people dislike a bot appearing in calls, because capture happens locally on each device. The product grew out of noise cancellation, so test CRM depth if that matters. Call centers can look at the separate per-agent plan. Krisp was founded in 2017 and is based in Berkeley, California, US.

What to test in a Krisp demo or trial
Run the 7-day trial on the platforms your team really uses, including the desktop apps for Zoom, Teams and Meet and the mobile app for in-person meetings. Check transcript quality in your languages (a third-party review cites about 17), speaker identification, timestamps and the quality of summaries and action items. Because reviewers mention microphone connectivity problems and glitches, test with your team's actual headsets. The trial has limited minutes, so plan the test sessions in advance. Check what CRM connections you need, since none are published.
