The best Krisp alternatives in 2026
6 tools compared on what they do best, free plans, prices and recording without a bot.
The short answer
Krisp is best known for noise cancellation, with AI meeting notes added on top: its Core plan is $16 a month, or $8 billed annually, after a 7-day free trial. If the notes are what you need, Acta records Zoom, Google Meet and Teams with or without a bot and tracks action items and decisions across meetings. Granola and Jamie are bot-free like Krisp, Fathom has a free plan with unlimited recording, and tl;dv adds reports across meetings.
Why people look for a Krisp alternative
A trial, not a free plan
Krisp's pricing page offers a 7-day free trial. After that, the meeting assistant is on paid plans from $8 a user a month billed annually ($16 monthly).
Built around audio first
Noise cancellation and accent conversion are Krisp's core. Teams that mainly want meeting reports and follow-up often compare dedicated notetakers.
CRM depends on the plan
Krisp lists its Salesforce integration on the Advanced plan, $15 a user a month billed annually ($30 monthly).
