Mavio vs Krisp

Mavio vs Krisp

Krisp and Mavio are not really competitors, and the most useful thing this page can do is explain why — because a lot of people arrive here having noticed that Krisp added meeting notes and wondering whether that makes it a replacement.

Krisp is a audio-processing tool. Its noise cancellation is the best in the market, it runs as a virtual microphone underneath whatever app you are using, and the meeting-notes feature was added on top of an audio pipeline that already existed. Mavio is a meeting-record product: transcription, summaries, action items, search, integrations, and a shared team library.

They overlap on one feature and diverge on everything around it.

Krisp's noise cancellation is genuinely better

This is not a courtesy. If you work from a café, a co-working space, an apartment with a dog, or anywhere with a lot of background noise, Krisp solves a problem Mavio does not attempt to solve. It sits between your microphone and every application on the machine, so it improves how you sound in every call regardless of what else you run.

At $8 per month it is also the cheapest thing in this comparison, and for someone whose actual problem is "people cannot hear me properly," it is the correct purchase.

Notably, the two are not mutually exclusive. Krisp cleans the microphone input; Mavio records and analyses the meeting. Running both is a normal setup, not a redundancy.

Where Mavio does substantially more

Reach. Krisp is desktop-only. Mavio has macOS and Windows desktop apps plus iOS, Android, a Chrome extension, and the web app. If you take calls on a phone, Krisp's notes are simply not there.

Integrations. Mavio connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Notion, and the major calendar and meeting platforms, with API access from the $10 Pro plan. Krisp's integration surface is small, because integrations are not what it is for.

The record as an asset. Mavio's Business plan adds a shared meeting library, team analytics, and Coach Mode — meetings become something a team can search rather than notes that live on one laptop. Cross-meeting context means the assistant can answer using your earlier calls with the same people.

Depth of the AI layer. Summaries, action item extraction, and search across 60 languages are the centre of Mavio's product and an adjacent feature of Krisp's.

Pricing

Krisp starts at $8 per month. Mavio's Free plan is $0 forever with no card — unlimited transcription, AI summaries, and action items. Pro is $10 per month ($100 billed annually) and adds real-time transcription, 25 transcript languages, all integrations, and API access. Business is $25 per seat per month ($20 annually).

Choosing

Krisp if your problem is audio quality and meeting notes are a bonus you will use occasionally.

Mavio if the meeting record is the point — if you need it searchable, shared with a team, connected to your CRM, and available from a phone as well as a laptop.

If your problem is both, run both. They do not conflict, and Mavio's free tier means testing that combination costs $8.

Switching from Krisp to Mavio

1. Export Krisp meeting notes from the app.
2. Download Mavio desktop app and sign up.
3. Keep any exported notes. Mavio has no Krisp importer. If you use Krisp for noise cancellation, keep it running — it works alongside Mavio rather than against it.
4. Connect your calendar and integrations for full meeting coverage.
