“I work from home. This app is parrot tested and owner approved! I have two African grey parrots, and they occasionally make a lot of noise. Also, I watch Spongebob Squarepants while I work. Krisp cancels out all of that noise and more. It costs $9.00 per month, which kind of sucks, but it is what it is. If it's your job, this app is WORTH IT!!!”

“Since the last update, the app has been performing terribly. The AI chat has started glitching, strange artifacts have appeared in the text, emojis have started showing up for some reason, and the quality of the transcriptions and summaries has deteriorated significantly.”

“It writes all the notes for me, so I don’t have to worry about taking notes during calls. I can always go back and listen to the recording, and their support team is responsive and helpful. I’ve never had downtime with Krisp, and the updates have been genuinely innovative—it’s hard to compare it to when I first started using it. There are a lot of integrations available, and the interface feels seamless and easy to use. All of this for $100 per year is a steal, with their AI helping get info fro”

“I was an early adopter of Krisp starting in 2020 and genuinely loved the product. The noise cancellation worked well, and I recommended it to colleagues regularly. However, something changed after 2023. Krisp quietly stopped sending renewal notifications and receipts; they simply charge your card without warning. When I discovered an unexpected charge and contacted support within five days, they admitted to this practice but refused any refund. This is a textbook dark pattern: making it easy t”

“I’ve been using it for about a year now and I love it. Sometimes when I hear a loud noise near me (cars honking in the street, neighbors fighting, my cats meowing) I ask my students if they could hear that and they always say no. It also cancels voices that are not yours so you can work outside the house more easily. So far no malfunctions or delays on Preply, Google Meet, Skype or Zoom. Happy to answer more questions!”

“Somehow this program ended up on my computer, and it became pretty much impossible to uninstall. I have tried so many things, but like a virus it keeps starting up when i start my computer even though i uninstalled it several times through the control panel etc. do not recommend.”

“The product works amazing BUT it uses a massive amount of memory on a mac, even when not in use. When checking my activity monitor, it almost always is using more memory than any other app ...again, when not even in use. Right now it's using 1.4 gigs of memory, and it's just on standby. They need to fix this issue or I will need to explore other alternatives.”

“I forgot to cancel my yearly sub because I'm stupid and even though a week has elapsed before I noticed and despite their terms being clear about this, Krisp refunded me. I didn't cancel because of the product, but because my circumstances changed and they were willing to accommodate. I was a happy customer prior and this experience left such a positive mark on me, that I felt like I had to tell people what kind of company this is. It's rare in this era of software for a company to be this custo”

“My subscription runs till 7 June, but it says my subscription has ended. I reported the issue 3 days ago, and no follow-up. I reported the issue two more times and still nothing. Absolutely terrible support. ”

NEGATIVE trustpilot

“Perfect transcription during your meeting and as soon as the meeting is over all notes are lost with no way to recover. Afterwards, they will spam your inbox thousands of times a day to tell you its fixed so that they can destroy another meeting for you. Even after telling them to cease and dessist of all contact and adding them to spam, they continue blowing up your email and will not stop. I'm hoping this predatory action stops before legal action is needed.”

“I got extremely unprofessional and disrespectful customer service emails from their technical customer support, pushing to close the ticket despite not solving any of my issues I mentioned. I used to use it for 4 years until I faced this awful technical customer service.”
