Bot-free system-audio capture

Krisp records through the device without joining as a meeting participant. Its audio processing works across desktop calling apps.

Pocket

Single-press hardware and bot-free desktop audio

The recorder captures room audio or phone calls with a physical button and mode slider, storing audio offline until upload. The desktop app records microphone and system audio from Zoom, Teams, Meet, and other calls, with optional meeting detection and Auto Record. Wi-Fi upload can send device recordings directly to the account without the phone nearby.

Pocket

Recorder, iOS, Android, web, and desktop beta

Pocket has iOS and Android companion apps, web access, and macOS and Windows desktop apps. The desktop download guide explicitly labels the app beta. USB-C Web Sync supports Chrome, Edge, and Brave; Safari and Firefox do not support its required file-system access. No native Apple Watch recording app is documented in these guides.

Krisp

Native iOS and Android room capture

Mobile apps record and upload in-person conversations, but Krisp only documents automatic calendar-based speaker names for one-on-one meetings; ad-hoc meetings need manual assignment. The flagship noise-cancellation capability is also unavailable on mobile.

Pocket

Dedicated recorder with speaker management

Record in person on the Pocket device without a phone connection. Speaker Management supports naming and merging speakers and finding their other recordings. Automatic speaker detection is unavailable for recordings of three hours or longer. Automatic speaker naming is a Pro feature; detecting separate speakers and naming them are different capabilities.

Bot-free audio and screen/video; optional bot video

Krisp supports bot-free screen and video recording on supported macOS and Windows versions. An optional bot can also retain meeting video. Advanced adds trimming, comments, and more storage. Check storage quotas if your team keeps many recordings.

Pocket

Saved audio, downloads, and recording exports

Pocket retains audio and supports downloads through the app and API. USB-C Web Sync transfers large recordings directly from the device. Recordings can be combined into a merged memory. Desktop capture is audio-only and does not preserve video, webcams, shared-screen content, or chat.

Notes, action items, and search

KrispBroad support

Krisp

AI notes plus a centralized, assigned action-item tracker

Krisp automatically generates and assigns action items when calendar identity or transcript speaker identity is available. The workspace action center supports all-team and assigned-to-me views, reassignment, due dates, priority, status, and completion. The shared action center helps teams track follow-up; broader person and company histories are more limited.

EvidenceKrisp pricingKrisp centralized action items

Pocket

Summaries, mind maps, Ask Pocket, and a task hub

Summaries and mind maps organize recordings; Ask Pocket answers questions with date and recording filters. The Checklist consolidates extracted actions with source references and labels. MCP can search tasks and change status, priority, due date, or assignee. Pro adds unlimited chat and custom templates; free chat is limited.

Krisp

Meeting library and AI chat

Meetings are searchable and available through AI chat, but the product does not emphasize combined email, calendar, person, and company relationship pages.

EvidenceKrisp pricingKrisp MCP

Pocket

Recording memory, speaker history, and calendar context

Ask Pocket searches conversation history, and named speaker profiles collect their recordings. Calendar Hub connects follow-up actions to calendar events. This provides useful personal context; the cited guides do not document company pages combining email threads, relationship timelines, and rolling company summaries.

Automatic sharing and workspace defaults

KrispBroad support
PocketNarrow or indirect

Krisp

Calendar, manager, and recurring-channel auto-sharing

Krisp auto-shares transcripts, notes, and recordings to same-workspace calendar invitees when its calendar and join prerequisites are met; the setting defaults on during rollout. Advanced can also route selected users’ external meetings to managers, and recurring meetings can post to Teams channels. The audience logic is useful but narrower than a general title, participant, domain, tag, and destination rule builder.

Pocket

Exports, connected destinations, and organization access

Pocket supports exporting recordings and notes to other tools. Organization roles govern access to recordings, templates, and analytics. Its published guides do not establish meeting-level automatic sharing rules by participant, domain, title, and team; confirm those requirements for an Enterprise rollout.

Krisp

Automatic action items, webhooks, and Zapier; fewer native rules

Core includes action-item, note, and transcript triggers through Zapier and webhooks; a generated action item can create a Jira task through Zapier. Advanced adds team webhooks. Krisp is still less centered on custom AI extraction and a native multi-step condition/action canvas.

Pocket

Task follow-through and recording-event webhooks

Automatically add extracted tasks to the Checklist and use calendar or task integrations for follow-up. Webhooks cover completed transcripts and summaries, speaker labeling, and task updates, with personal and organization destinations. Custom backends, Zapier, Make, or n8n can consume these events; organization controls depend on Enterprise packaging.

MCP with transcripts and tasks, plus webhooks on Core

The hosted OAuth MCP can search meetings, fetch full transcripts and summaries, list action items by assignee or completion state, inspect activity, and read upcoming meetings. Agent access is unusually accessible at the entry tier. Teams needing centralized webhook management move to Advanced, while private deployment is Enterprise.

Recent-transcript retrieval is also available through MCP search. No first-party standalone CLI is documented.
