How do you install Krisp?

Krisp provides you with desktop applications for Windows and Mac.

There is also an iOS app available, that allows you to utilize Krisp’s noise cancelling technology when making calls from your iPhone.

Krisp for Android is not yet out, but they’re working on it.

Lastly, there is also a Google Chrome Extension, which I think is the most convenient option to use.

How do you use Krisp?

Krip is a one-button app. It’s either on or it’s off. Once you turn it on it connects to any calling apps and starts filtering the audio automatically.

If you’re already working remotely for a company the company will have its preferred app. But, if you’re interviewing with remote companies the interviewer will usually send you a link to one of various conference software.

The best way to use Krisp is to have it filter your audio from your own personal microphone. But, if you have the Windows or Mac app installed you can also use it to filter the recipient\’s audio as well in case they’re in a noisy environment.

This feature is not yet available on Krisp’s Chrome Extension.

Is Krisp free?

Yes, Krisp provides a free plan that gives you 120 minutes per week of free usage for filtering your own microphone. You get 120 minutes per week for muting the speaker’s noise as well.

If you sign up to Krisp using your custom domain, rather than a gmail domain for example, you’ll automatically get 14 days of free Pro usage.

Krisp also provides affordable paid plans as well on a monthly basis if you need more than 120 minutes per week.

How much does Krisp cost?

Krisp Pro, which costs $3.33 per month if you’re on the annual plan ($5/month on the monthly plan) gives you unlimited minutes for muting your microphone and other speakers. Also, you can use it on up to 3 devices.

If you’re currently interviewing with remote companies this is a very good amount of time to test it out, get on interview calls, and see how much it can help you.

Also, Krisp lets you get more minutes for free if you share the app with your friends using your unique URL.

Does Krisp provide any discounts?

If you’re a student, teacher, government employee or hospital worker, Krisp Pro is free to use for the next six months (March 2020 — September, 2020) — that means there are no 120-minute weekly time limit restrictions.
