What Krisp really costs
- Per seat per month
- $8 (Core, annual)
- Billing
- Monthly and annual.
- Annual discount
- 50% (Core $8 vs $16, Advanced $15 vs $30)
- 20 users per year
- Core annual: 20 x $8 x 12 = $1,920/yr; Advanced annual: 20 x 15 x 12 = $3,600/yr.
Questions to ask about price
- Is there a minimum number of seats or a minimum annual spend?
- Which features we need sit in add-ons or a higher plan, and what do they cost?
- How much can the price rise at renewal, and is the increase capped in the contract?
- Are there one-time costs for implementation, onboarding or data migration?
Is Krisp worth the price?
Krisp is good value for small teams on Zoom, Meet or Teams that want transcripts and action items without a visible bot. For 20 users, Core annual comes to 20 x $8 x 12 = $1,920 a year and Advanced annual to $3,600. It gets expensive if you pay monthly, which doubles those figures, or if you need SSO for a general team, since that means Enterprise or the separate Call Center AI plan.
Worth it if
- Teams on Zoom/Meet/Teams who want notes without a bot in the call.
- Call centers (separate Call Center AI plan with SSO and SCIM)
Look elsewhere if
- Buyers who want a pure note-taker with deep CRM sync (product started as noise cancelling)
- Teams wanting SSO below Enterprise.
Pricing details most reviews leave out
- G2 rating mostly reflects the noise-cancelling product, not the meeting assistant.
- Enterprise offers a choice of data center location.
- No permanent free plan, only a 7 day trial.
- Call Center AI plan includes SSO and SCIM at $15 per agent but Meeting AI core plans do not.
Our verdict on Krisp
Krisp started as noise cancellation software and added a bot-free AI meeting assistant for transcripts and notes. It is one of the cheaper options in its category: Core is $8 per user a month billed annually, or $16 billed monthly. There is no permanent free plan, only a 7-day trial with no card required. The big cost lever is billing cycle, since annual billing halves the price on both Core and Advanced.
G2 shows 4.6 out of 5 from 1,122 reviews, but that rating mostly reflects the noise cancelling product rather than the meeting assistant. Krisp is good value when you want notes without a bot in the call. It gets pricier if you want SSO, which sits at the Enterprise level for Meeting AI, and where Enterprise pricing is custom.
