FAQ
Krisp frequently asked questions
Is Krisp free?
Krisp offers a free plan with a daily allotment of noise cancellation (historically around 60 minutes per day), which is enough for occasional calls and recordings. Paid plans start around $8/mo and remove the time limit while adding features like meeting transcription and AI notes. Heavy users generally upgrade to Pro.
How does Krisp remove background noise?
Krisp runs an AI noise-cancellation layer between your microphone and your app, filtering out background sounds — keyboard clatter, fans, traffic, barking — as well as echo, in real time. It works on both your outgoing and incoming audio across most conferencing and recording apps, so your voice comes through clean without acoustic treatment.
Does Krisp work with Zoom, Teams, and other apps?
Yes — Krisp works as a virtual microphone and speaker, so it plugs into virtually any app, including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord, and most recording software. You just select Krisp as your mic in the app's audio settings, and its noise cancellation applies automatically.
Is Krisp good for YouTube creators and podcasters?
Yes. For creators recording without a treated room, Krisp cleans up background noise and echo so voiceovers and talking-head recordings sound more professional. It's a practical fix for faceless YouTubers and podcasters on a budget, though for the absolute best quality a good mic plus light editing still helps.
Does Krisp reduce audio quality?
Modern Krisp is designed to remove noise while preserving natural voice quality, and most users find the tradeoff minimal for calls and everyday recording. In very aggressive noise conditions you may notice slight processing artifacts, but for typical remote-work and creator audio it's a net improvement over raw, noisy input.
