Krisp

Key facts: Krisp is an AI noise-cancellation app that sits between your microphone and your calls, removing background noise — dogs, traffic, keyboard clicks — and, on paid plans, other people’s noise and echoes too. It works with Zoom, Meet, Teams and any app that takes a microphone input, and it has added AI meeting notes and accent handling.

Plans: Krisp has a free plan with a daily noise-cancellation allowance, and paid Pro and Business plans that remove the cap and add meeting transcription and team controls. The free plan covers light daily use.

Best for: remote workers, call-centre staff and anyone taking calls from a noisy home. Watch out: heavy processing can occasionally clip the start of a word — test it on a real call before an important meeting.

Pros

• Removes background noise, such as dogs, traffic and keyboard clicks, sitting between your microphone and your calls.
• Works with Zoom, Meet, Teams and any app that takes a microphone input.
• Paid plans also remove other people's noise and echoes, and add AI meeting notes and accent handling.
• The free plan covers light daily use, so you can test it on real calls first.

Watch out for

• Heavy processing can occasionally clip the start of a word, so test it on a real call before an important meeting.
• The free plan has a daily noise-cancellation allowance; heavy call days need a paid plan.
• It improves call audio, but it is not a substitute for a decent microphone and a quiet room for studio recording.

Best for

Remote workers, call-centre staff and anyone taking calls from a noisy home. Who should skip it: studio recordists who need controlled-room audio rather than live noise removal.
