Krisp Pricing 2026: Core, Advanced and Is There a Free Plan?

Krisp costs $8 per user a month on Core and $15 on Advanced when billed annually, or $16 and $30 month to month, and its pricing page offers no free plan: the $0 option is a 7-day trial with no credit card. Enterprise is a custom quote. Those figures come from Krisp's pricing page, read on 26 October 2026.

My take: Krisp is one of the cheapest paid meeting note takers on an annual contract and one of the dearer ones month to month, because the monthly rate is exactly double. The real question for most buyers is not Core or Advanced. It is whether to pay Krisp at all when Fathom records and transcribes every meeting for free.

Toolradar data: of the 174 transcription tools tracked on Toolradar, the software directory we run, 71% offer a free tier and the median per-user entry plan is $14.50 a month across 20 tools, as of 25 October 2026. Krisp's Core seat sits well under that median, but without a free plan on its pricing page it falls in the 29% of the category that asks for money after a trial.

Krisp plans at a glance

The annual toggle on the page carries a "Save 50%" badge, and the arithmetic agrees: on both self-serve plans the monthly rate is exactly twice the annual one. Krisp shows the annual price as a monthly rate and does not print a yearly total. Twelve months of Core billed annually comes to $96 per user, and twelve monthly payments to $192, our arithmetic from the printed rates.

Krisp also sells a separate Call Center line, which this page leaves aside. Its CC Core plan costs $15 per agent a month billed annually and covers agent and customer noise cancellation, voice isolation and after-call summaries. That plan is priced per agent for call centers and BPOs, so a team buying a note taker can ignore it.

Is Krisp still free?

Not as a plan you can stay on, because the pricing page's $0 column is a free trial that lasts 7 days, needs no credit card and unlocks unlimited transcription, noise cancellation, recording and AI notes, with accent conversion limited. After the seven days, the page offers Core, Advanced or Enterprise.

That matters for anyone who only wants clean audio on calls: today's pricing page sells noise cancellation only inside a paid plan. Its FAQ says there is no separate noise-only plan, because noise cancellation is built into every plan and the meeting assistant can be switched off.

The trial is generous for a decision but short for a habit. Seven days covers about one working week of meetings, enough to judge transcript accuracy and whether the bot-free capture works with your calendar. It is not enough to see whether Core's storage cap holds up over a quarter of recorded video calls, which is the limit heavy users hit first.

If you track what AI tools charge before each renewal, the AIpresso brief flags price and plan changes as they happen.

Core or Advanced: what the $7 gap buys

Core is the plan most individuals and small teams need. It includes the unlimited AI note taker without a bot joining the call, transcription, audio and video recording, AI notes and action items, in-person meeting notes, a mobile app, multilingual transcripts and AI chat across your meetings. It also connects to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor through Krisp's MCP integration, and it allows unlimited integrations and webhooks. The two limits that bite are 10 GB of storage and one hour a day of accent conversion.

Advanced costs $7 more per user a month on annual billing. For that money a team gets three things Core leaves out:

• Accent conversion at scale. Speaker-side conversion rises to 4 hours a day and listener-side becomes unlimited. Krisp lists Indian, Filipino, South African and Latin American accents for the speaker side.
• Sales integrations. Salesforce and ConnectWise sync, plus a manager view, company deal grouping and team-level webhooks.
• Admin control. Link-sharing rules, enforced note-taking mode, trimming and commenting, and 60 GB of storage.

For a support or sales team whose agents speak with an accent customers struggle with, Advanced is the plan Krisp is really selling, because neither Fathom's nor Otter's pricing page lists live accent conversion. For a product team that wants transcripts and summaries, Core does the job and Advanced adds little.

Enterprise is for regulated buyers, and it adds SSO and SCIM, SOC 2 report access, HIPAA compliance, a choice of data center, on-device private transcription and recordings, and unlimited storage. A business associate agreement is available only for teams with 100 or more seats, so a small clinic cannot buy its way into a BAA on Krisp.

What does a 20-meeting week cost on Krisp, Fathom and Otter?

The scenario is one person who sits in 20 meetings a week, each about 30 minutes, for 52 weeks. That is 1,040 meetings and roughly 2,600 minutes of calls a month, our arithmetic. Prices are list rates per user, before tax, read on Krisp's pricing page, Fathom's pricing page and Otter's pricing page on 26 October 2026.

Every yearly figure is twelve times the printed monthly rate, and every per-meeting figure divides that year by 1,040 meetings, our arithmetic. Krisp Core is the cheapest paid seat that covers this workload, at about 9 cents a meeting. Fathom Free costs nothing and records every one of those meetings too, so the question is what Krisp's $96 buys over a free tool.

The answer sits in what happens during the call rather than after it: Krisp captures meetings without a bot, removes background noise on your own microphone in real time, and converts accents, while Fathom's free plan rations its advanced AI summaries and chat. A buyer who only needs a searchable transcript should start on Fathom's free plan. A buyer who takes calls from a noisy home or a shared office gets something from Krisp that no free note taker offers.

Otter is the trap in this scenario, because Otter Pro looks cheaper on paper at $8.33 a user on annual billing, but its 1,200-minute monthly limit covers fewer than half of these meetings, and each meeting stops at 90 minutes. A 20-meeting week forces Otter Business, which costs $143.88 a year more than Krisp Core on annual billing, our arithmetic.

What a five-person team pays

Five people on the same plan multiply the per-user list rate. Fathom's team plans need at least 2 users, so a team compares Fathom Team rather than Premium.

All figures are our arithmetic on the printed per-user rates. On annual billing Krisp Core costs $420 a year less than Fathom Team for five people. Fathom Team adds a shared call library, comments and keyword trackers to the bill. Krisp Advanced and Fathom Team land on the same $900 a year, so the choice there is accent conversion and noise removal against shared highlights and playlists.

Monthly billing doubles every Krisp line, which is the widest gap on this page. A team that is not ready for a yearly commitment pays $960 for Krisp Core, against $1,140 for Fathom Team, so the lead shrinks from $420 to $180.

Gotchas before you buy

• The 50% saving is only on annual prepayment. Monthly Core costs $16, double the annual rate, and the page prints no middle option such as quarterly billing.
• Storage is capped below Enterprise. Core keeps 10 GB and Advanced 60 GB. Extra storage is sold as an add-on of up to 2 TB on both plans, but the page does not print its price.
• Seats count everyone in the team. Krisp's FAQ says any teammate added to a paid team is a billed seat, and different teams in one workspace can sit on different plans.
• Calendar access is the default. Signup asks for a Google or Outlook calendar connection; a zero-permission route exists, but skipping the calendar during a trial goes through sales.
• Volume pricing starts at 50 members. Krisp says it offers volume discounts above 50 members, through sales, and prints no figure.
• Cards only on self-serve. Krisp takes major credit and debit cards; invoices are for Enterprise.

Which Krisp plan should you pick?

Start the 7-day trial on the calls you find hardest to transcribe, then pick Core if noise removal and bot-free capture are what you noticed. Pick Advanced only if live accent conversion or the Salesforce and ConnectWise sync is the reason you are buying. Talk to sales about Enterprise for SSO, HIPAA, on-device transcription or a team of 100 or more that needs a BAA.

How we built this page

We read Krisp's pricing page, its plan comparison table and FAQ, and the pricing pages of Fathom and Otter on 26 October 2026, at list price in US dollars. The 20-meeting and five-person scenarios are our arithmetic on those printed rates, and the category figures come from Toolradar's transcription statistics. We did not buy a plan or record calls for this page. We re-check it when Krisp changes a plan, a price or a limit.
