SAGE'S REVIEW

Krisp is an AI noise cancellation app that removes background noise from your microphone and speaker audio in real time β€” applicable to any video conferencing, voice calling, or recording application on your computer. The AI models run locally on your machine and process audio before it reaches your conferencing app, meaning Krisp works universally without needing integration with any specific platform. Traffic, keyboard clicks, dogs barking, coffee shop noise β€” all removed.

The technology is genuinely impressive: Krisp's models separate voice from background noise at the signal level, not through simple gating or filtering that cuts out quiet passages. The result is clean, natural-sounding audio even in challenging environments. The bi-directional noise cancellation removes noise from both your microphone (what you send) and your speaker (what you receive), which is particularly useful when listening to others on noisy lines or speakerphone.

Krisp is most valuable for remote workers who frequently need to take calls from environments outside a quiet home office β€” coffee shops, open plan offices, travel. The free tier provides 60 minutes of noise cancellation per week, which is enough to test but insufficient for regular professional use. The paid tier is well-priced for the value it provides, especially for professionals who value consistent audio quality regardless of their environment.

βœ“ BEST FOR
  • β€’ Remote workers who take frequent video calls from variable environments
  • β€’ Sales and customer success professionals who make calls from open offices or home environments with noise
  • β€’ Podcasters and content creators recording in spaces with ambient noise
  • β€’ Anyone on frequent calls who wants to never apologize for background noise again
⚠ WATCH OUT FOR
  • β€’ Free tier limit of 60 minutes/week is restrictive for regular professional use
  • β€’ Local processing means Krisp can occasionally add slight CPU load on older machines
  • β€’ Very low-bandwidth internet connections should test first β€” audio quality can occasionally be affected
  • β€’ Noise cancellation is not perfect in extremely loud environments β€” quiet rooms still sound better
🐱 SAGE SAYS

Set Krisp to run automatically at startup and forget it's there. The best thing about Krisp is that you stop thinking about your environment before calls and just take them wherever you are.
