Krisp for Call Centers: The Plan Breakdown

The short version: Krisp sells a dedicated product line for contact centers — separate from the Meeting Assistant most people know — under the banner "Call Center AI." The entry plan, CC Core, is published at $15 per agent per month, billed annually, and covers noise cancellation in both directions plus agent voice isolation. Everything more ambitious — accent conversion, live translation, speech analytics, voice security — sits in a quote-based CC Advanced tier. Here is what each piece means for a floor that answers calls for a living.

Everything on this page was verified against krisp.ai (homepage, /call-center/ and /pricing/) on . Plans and prices change; treat this as a dated snapshot, not a contract.

The Call Center AI line at a glance

Krisp splits its contact-center features into two groups, and the grouping tells you who each feature serves. "Speech Assist" processes the audio itself; "Agent & Supervisor Assist" watches the conversation and helps the humans running it.

FloorTone's lane is the audio: we cover the Speech Assist column in depth and note the rest exists. If you're evaluating analytics or security tooling, run that as its own procurement — bundling everything into one pilot is how pilots die.

CC Core: what $15 per agent actually buys

CC Core is the audio layer alone, and for most floors it's the right place to start. As listed on the pricing page (verified 2026-09-20), it includes:

  • Agent Noise Cancellation — "removes background noises coming from agent's side." The floor, the keyboard, the household. This is the feature your clients notice.
  • Customer Noise Cancellation — the same cleanup applied to inbound audio, so agents stop asking callers to repeat themselves. We think this half is systematically undervalued; the case is in our two-way noise cancellation guide.
  • Agent Voice Isolation — passes the agent's voice and rejects other voices. On an open floor where the background "noise" is forty colleagues talking, isolation is the difference between a demo that impresses and one that doesn't.
  • Usage analytics and monitoring — seat-level visibility, which matters because the first question at renewal is "who's actually using it?"

CC Core: $15 per agent a month, billed annually. CC Advanced: quote-based. As listed on krisp.ai, 20 September 2026.

Pricing mechanics worth noting: the $15 figure is billed annually, and the page offers a "prepaid trial" alongside "Book a demo" — meaning you can put a fixed, small budget on an evaluation instead of entering a sales cycle blind. At 100 seats, CC Core is $18,000 a year at list; use that as your negotiation floor, not your ceiling.

CC Advanced: the quote-based tier

CC Advanced requires an evaluation sign-up and adds the ambitious features: accent conversion, voice translation (Krisp's site claims 60+ languages), speech analytics and voice security (deepfake and fraud detection, agent voice verification). Two cautions from us:

  • Accent conversion deserves its own decision process with agents involved, not a checkbox on an audio renewal. We wrote a separate, careful guide to accent clarity tools — read it before the demo, and bring its consent questions to the meeting.
  • Quote-based means the price is a function of your seat count and your negotiating position. Get the CC Core baseline working first; it gives you both data and leverage.

How it deploys

The deployment model is the quiet reason this category moves fast: it's a desktop application on the agent's machine, presenting as a virtual microphone and speaker. Krisp's contact-center page describes it as sitting "between the agent's headset and your CCaaS/UCaaS stack — processing every call in real time, with no telephony integration required," and names Vonage, RingCentral, 8x8, Talkdesk, Avaya, Aircall, Twilio, Five9, Genesys and Amazon Connect as compatible platforms (read 2026-09-20).

  2. Agent-side layera virtual microphone and speaker on the agent’s machine
  3. Softphone / CCaaSsees a clean device; no telephony changes
  4. Callerhears the agent, not the room

Translation for your IT queue: a pilot needs install rights on agent machines and a decision about which suppression layer is authoritative (turn the platform's built-in off where the dedicated layer runs — double processing causes artifacts). Virtual desktop environments are the exception: if your agents work in VDI, make that the first question to sales, not a discovery during week two of the pilot. Our main ops guide has the full rollout checklist.

The vendor's numbers, labelled as such

Krisp's contact-center page carries big claims: a "99% increase in NPS," "25% increase in FCR," "30% reduction in cost," "2,500+ contact centers," "87 Fortune 500 companies," and "80B+ minutes improved every month," alongside named customers including Everise, Startek, TTEC, Foundever, Genpact, WNS and TransUnion (all as printed on krisp.ai/call-center, 2026-09-20).

Our position: these are the vendor's marketing figures, not FloorTone measurements, and percentage claims without a stated baseline should never appear in your business case. What the customer list does legitimately tell you is that large BPOs run this in production at scale — deployment risk and vendor stability are smaller questions than they were. Build your own numbers with a two-week baseline and the metrics that survive an audit.

Don't confuse it with the Meeting Assistant

Krisp's better-known product is the AI Meeting Assistant for individuals and teams — different plans, different pricing, different problem. As of 20 September 2026 that side lists a 7-day free trial, a Core plan at $16/month (or $8/month billed annually) and an Advanced plan at $30/month (or $15/month annually), with accent conversion capped by hours per day on the lower tiers. It's built around meetings, note-taking and transcription — fine for a freelancer, wrong shape for a queue. If you're a single WFH agent buying with your own card, our WFH agent audio guide covers when the individual plans make sense; if you run a floor, evaluate the CC line and nothing else.

Fast answers

Is there a per-month option, or annual only?

The published CC Core price is explicitly "billed annually" (verified 2026-09-20). If you need monthly terms for a short program, that's a sales conversation — and another reason the prepaid trial exists.

Does CC Core include accent conversion?

No. Accent conversion, voice translation, speech analytics and voice security are CC Advanced features, quote-based. CC Core is the noise and isolation layer.

Can we run it alongside our platform's built-in suppression?

Run one processor per direction. Stacking two suppression layers invites artifacts; pick the authoritative one, disable the other, and document it in your build image.
