Choose Krisp if…
You are on Windows, you switch devices, or you want more than noise removal: incoming audio cleaned too, AI notes, and accent conversion. Krisp covers all of that across platforms.
Choose Utterly if…
You are on a Mac, you only need your own mic cleaned, and you want the cheapest way to do it. Utterly is focused and inexpensive, and the local processing keeps audio on your machine.
Or use one, not both
Unlike the note-takers, these two do the same job, so running both at once is redundant. Pick the one that fits your platform and budget.
