Krisp vs Cleanvoice
Like Adobe Podcast, this is a comparison of two different moments. Krisp (opens in a new tab) cleans your audio live, during a call. Cleanvoice edits audio after the fact, on a file you already recorded, and it goes further than noise by cutting filler words and dead air. They are not used at the same time.

Choose Krisp if…
You want to sound clean on live calls: Zoom, Teams, Meet, Discord, or the phone. Cleanvoice cannot help during a call. Krisp cleans your audio in real time, in both directions.
Choose Cleanvoice if…
You already recorded something, such as a podcast or an interview, and you want to strip noise and cut the filler words, stutters, and dead air afterward. That editing is exactly what Cleanvoice is built for.
Or use both
They fit different steps and pair well: Krisp (opens in a new tab) for clean audio on the live call, Cleanvoice to tidy any recording you export afterward.
The Verdict
Cleanvoice is a strong editor for finished recordings, cutting noise, filler words, and dead air after you record. Live on a call, though, it does nothing. Krisp is the tool for the call itself, removing noise in both directions as you speak. If your problem is how you sound in meetings, Krisp is what to try, and Cleanvoice is worth keeping for post-production.
Pros
- Krisp: real-time, two-way noise cancellation on any calling app
Cons
- Cleanvoice: powerful editor, but post-production only, not live
FAQ
It depends on the moment. For cleaning your audio live during a call, Krisp is better, since Cleanvoice does not work in real time. For editing an already-recorded file, including cutting filler words, Cleanvoice is better.
No. Cleanvoice edits a recording you upload after the fact. For real-time cleanup during a call, you need Krisp, which cleans both directions live on any app.
Often, yes. Use Krisp to sound clean on the live call, then run any exported recording through Cleanvoice to cut noise, filler words, and dead air.
