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

macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android
Desktop combines recording with noise cancellation and voice features. Mobile supports in-person recording but not noise cancellation.
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.

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.
EvidenceKrisp mobile recordingKrisp calendar and speaker naming
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.

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.

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.
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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The API provides recordings, transcripts, summaries, semantic search, uploads, audio downloads, and organization resources. MCP includes conversation and task search plus task updates on all plans; targeted recording retrieval and synthesized meeting queries require Pro. Recent-transcript retrieval is also available through MCP search. No first-party standalone CLI is documented.

A third option
Circleback

Every meeting
Online meetings with or without a bot, plus mobile and Apple Watch recording. Speaker-labeled transcripts every time; keep recordings if you need them.
Shared company memory
Detailed notes, automatic sharing, and meeting and email history for each person and company.
People and AI agents
Assigned actions and automations for people; the same full meeting data for agents through API, MCP, and CLI.
