# Krisp vs Pocket: pricing, features, and which is better > Krisp and Pocket compared across pricing, capture, speaker labels, recordings, notes, sharing, automations, integrations, AI-agent access, and administration. - Canonical HTML: https://circleback.ai/compare/krisp-vs-pocket - Structured JSON: https://circleback.ai/compare/krisp-vs-pocket.json - Comparison directory: https://circleback.ai/compare - Language: en-US - Editorial perspective: Neutral competitor comparison. Circleback appears only as a clearly labeled third option. ## Short answer Krisp improves live call audio and adds a shared meeting and action workspace. Pocket records room and phone-call audio on dedicated hardware, then turns it into notes, mind maps, and personal tasks. Test both products on meetings that reflect your work, such as a customer call, planning session, or in-person conversation. Compare the notes, speaker labels, sharing defaults, and follow-up you still need to do by hand. ## Krisp at a glance Krisp improves call audio with noise cancellation, voice isolation, and accent conversion. It also provides bot-free meeting notes, recordings, mobile capture, shared action tracking, MCP, and webhooks. **Best for:** People who work in noisy environments, contact centers, or distributed teams where call clarity and bot-free capture matter as much as the notes. **Less ideal for:** Teams that need 100+ transcription languages, shared company history, automations across many apps, or advanced admin controls without an enterprise contract. **Price:** Core $8 and Advanced $15/user/month with annual billing Prices are per user/month. Core is $8 with annual billing or $16 month-to-month and includes unlimited bot-free notes, audio recording, screen/video recording, optional bot video, in-person capture, AI chat, MCP, webhooks, integrations, and 10 GB storage. Advanced is $15 or $30 and adds Salesforce, manager/deal views, policy enforcement, team webhooks, and 60 GB. Enterprise is custom. **Free option:** No permanent free plan is shown; a seven-day trial is available. ### Krisp strengths - Krisp’s clearest differentiator is real-time noise cancellation, voice isolation, and accent conversion across calling apps. - Bot-free audio and screen/video capture, optional bot-based video, iOS/Android in-person support, AI chat, MCP, and webhooks come at a relatively low entry price. - Action items are automatically generated and assigned, then managed workspace-wide with assignees, due dates, priority, and status. - On-device and private deployment options for enterprise customers with strict audio requirements. - Krisp says meeting data is not used to train its AI models; transcript-only audio can be processed on-device or deleted immediately after cloud transcription. ### Krisp tradeoffs - Mobile recording does not include Krisp’s signature noise cancellation. - Core includes only 10 GB of storage, while Salesforce, policy enforcement, manager views, and stronger team workflows require Advanced. - HIPAA/BAA is listed for enterprise deployments of 100+ seats. - Its 16-language count is materially narrower than products advertising 75–100+ languages. - Calendar-based speaker names are documented for one-on-one calls; group meetings still require a closer test of diarization and naming behavior. - Standard cloud meeting data is stored in the United States with no general regional-storage option. Enterprise pricing advertises a negotiable data-center choice and on-device private processing, so residency-sensitive buyers should verify the deployed architecture. ### Choose Krisp when - Call clarity and bot-free capture are the top requirements. - You want AV recording, MCP, webhooks, and mobile capture at a low per-recorder price. - Your enterprise may need private or on-device audio processing. ## Pocket at a glance Pocket combines a single-press recorder with apps for transcripts, summaries, mind maps, and follow-through. Its hardware records independently of a phone, including phone calls through a contact microphone. A separate desktop app captures online meetings without a bot. API, MCP, and webhooks let recordings and action items feed other tools. **Best for:** People who want dedicated recording hardware for conversations and phone calls, a central task list, and unlimited base transcription. **Less ideal for:** People who want to avoid another device for in-person recording, or teams that need recorded meeting video and clearly documented conditional workspace sharing. **Price:** Recorder advertised at $139; optional Pro subscription The storefront advertises a $139 hardware offer; bundles and promotions vary. Its plan table lists Pro at $19.99/month billed annually ($239.88/year). Other promotional copy uses different bundle and billing terms, so confirm the selected offer. Enterprise has custom pricing. Hardware and Pro are separate costs. **Free option:** Free includes unlimited base transcription, summaries kept for 30 days, mind maps, tasks, text export, and audio download. Ask Pocket allows three chats per day with three messages each. Pro extends history and adds advanced features. ### Pocket strengths - A single physical press starts offline capture, with a light and vibration for confirmation. Its contact microphone records phone calls without speakerphone. - The Checklist gathers extracted tasks across recordings, links them to their source, and supports follow-through through calendars and task integrations. - Public API, signed webhooks, and MCP support custom workflows. MCP can also update action-item status, due date, priority, and assignee. ### Pocket tradeoffs - Using the dedicated recorder means buying, carrying, charging, and syncing another device. Desktop capture is a separate option and the desktop app is labeled beta. - Longer summary history, automatic speaker names, advanced exports, and some integrations require Pro. Speaker detection is unavailable for recordings of three hours or longer. - Desktop recording captures audio, not video, webcams, shared screens, or meeting chat. ### Choose Pocket when - You prefer a dedicated physical recording button and offline audio capture. - You need contact-microphone phone-call recording and unlimited base transcription. - You want searchable recordings, mind maps, a task hub, and programmable access. ## Feature comparison | What matters | Krisp | Pocket | | --- | --- | --- | | Capture options | Broad support — Bot-free system-audio capture. Krisp records through the device without joining as a meeting participant. Its audio processing works across desktop calling apps. | Broad support — 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. | | Desktop and mobile | Broad support — macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. Desktop combines recording with noise cancellation and voice features. Mobile supports in-person recording but not noise cancellation. | Available with limits — 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. | | In-person capture and speaker labels | Broad support — 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. | Available with limits — 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. | | Recordings, playback, and clips | Broad support — 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. | Available with limits — 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 | Broad support — 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. | Broad support — 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. | | People, companies, and context | Narrow or indirect — 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. | Available with limits — 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 | Broad support — 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. | Narrow or indirect — 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. | | Automations | Available with limits — 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. | Available with limits — 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. | | Integrations | Available with limits — Common work tools; Salesforce on Advanced. Core covers general integrations and webhooks. Salesforce and more revenue-focused management features require Advanced. | Broad support — Calendars, task apps, document sync, and AI tools. Pocket connects calendars and task apps; its Pro table lists Notion, Google Drive, OneDrive, Linear, Asana, and ClickUp sync. MCP connects recordings to AI assistants, while API and webhooks support custom destinations. Confirm which integrations your selected plan includes. | | API, MCP, CLI, and data portability | Broad support — 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. | Broad support — Public API, webhooks, and MCP with task updates. 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. | | Security, privacy, and admin | Available with limits — Policy tools on Advanced; private deployment and compliance on Enterprise. Enforced modes and manager views require Advanced. SSO/SCIM, a negotiable data-center choice, unlimited storage, private/on-device options, and the documented 100+ seat HIPAA path are Enterprise. Krisp’s security page says standard cloud data is US-hosted with no regional option. | Available with limits — Encryption and Enterprise organization controls. Pocket documents encryption at rest and in transit, US-based processing, and a no-training commitment. Its Organization API defines owner, admin, member, and viewer roles. Enterprise lists centralized billing, recording access controls, organization exports, and BAA support. Verify specific compliance reports and deployment requirements with the vendor. | | Languages | Narrow or indirect — 16 transcription languages. Adequate for many English-centered teams, but much narrower on paper than competitors advertising 75 or 100+ languages. | Broad support — 120+ languages advertised. Pocket advertises support for more than 120 languages. Test the required languages and mixed-language conversations on real recordings; a published language count does not establish accuracy for a particular accent, room, or specialist vocabulary. | Ratings describe documented breadth rather than overall product quality: - **Broad support:** Broad native support across the product or relevant paid plans. - **Available with limits:** Documented support with meaningful scope, mode, or plan limits. - **Narrow or indirect:** Narrow, indirect, beta, or substantially plan-gated support. - **Not documented:** No current first-party documentation for a native option. ## Detailed analysis ### Capture options **Both products document broad support for capture options, with different scope and plan limits.** **Krisp:** Bot-free system-audio capture.
