# Bluedot vs Krisp: pricing, features, and which is better > Bluedot and Krisp compared across pricing, capture, speaker labels, recordings, notes, sharing, automations, integrations, AI-agent access, and administration. - Canonical HTML: https://circleback.ai/compare/bluedot-vs-krisp - Structured JSON: https://circleback.ai/compare/bluedot-vs-krisp.json - Comparison directory: https://circleback.ai/compare - Language: en-US - Editorial perspective: Neutral competitor comparison. Circleback appears only as a clearly labeled third option. ## Short answer Bluedot organizes recordings and clips across desktop, phone, and Apple Watch. Krisp improves live audio with noise removal and voice processing, and also provides notes and recordings. Test both products on meetings that reflect your work, such as a customer call, planning session, or in-person conversation. Compare the notes, speaker labels, sharing defaults, and follow-up you still need to do by hand. ## Bluedot at a glance Bluedot records without a bot across desktop, mobile, and Apple Watch, with clips, workspace chat, automated recording, and MCP access. Video, meeting length, speaker labels, and integrations depend on the plan and recording method. **Best for:** Teams that strongly prefer bot-free capture, want a clean recorder across desktop and mobile, and value simple notes, clips, and workspace chat. **Less ideal for:** Teams needing a generous free tier, inexpensive video, deep CRM/admin capabilities below the top plan, or a sophisticated native workflow builder. **Price:** Free for 5 meetings lifetime; paid from $14/recorder/month annually Prices are per recorder/month. Basic is $14 with annual billing or $18 month-to-month, but is audio-only and capped at one-hour meetings. Pro is $20 or $25 and adds video, unlimited duration, templates, and imports. Business is $32 or $39 with advanced workflows, CRM/ATS, SSO/SCIM, retention, webhooks, and organization MCP. **Free option:** Yes, but only five meetings total—not five per month. ### Bluedot strengths - Bot-free browser and macOS/Windows desktop capture, plus iOS, Android, and Apple Watch. - A modern, low-friction interface with notes, clips, auto-recording, workspace chat, and MCP. - Only recorder seats are billed, which can make broad read access economical. - Customer meeting data is not used for model training; admins can set retention, SSO/SCIM, and EU residency, while users can export recordings and transcripts. ### Bluedot tradeoffs - The free plan is five meetings for the lifetime of the account, and Basic is audio-only with a one-hour limit. - CRM/ATS sync, organization MCP, webhooks, retention, and SSO/SCIM are gated to Business. - Speaker recognition varies by recording path; the browser extension does not identify speakers for Zoom. - Bluedot’s current pricing page says canceled recordings are deleted after one month, while its cancellation help article says three months; confirm the policy in writing if portability matters. - CRM, recruiting, and team-wide automation features require Business; other destinations may need custom webhook workflows. - Action items can include owners and deadlines and webhooks can create external tasks, but Bluedot does not document a native workspace-wide action-item tracker. ### Choose Bluedot when - A visible bot is a deal-breaker and you want easy capture from almost any personal device. - Your workflow values a clean recording library, clips, and workspace chat more than deep workflow automation. - Paying only for recorders is more important than having a useful forever-free recorder tier. ## Krisp at a glance Krisp improves call audio with noise cancellation, voice isolation, and accent conversion. It also provides bot-free meeting notes, recordings, mobile capture, shared action tracking, MCP, and webhooks. **Best for:** People who work in noisy environments, contact centers, or distributed teams where call clarity and bot-free capture matter as much as the notes. **Less ideal for:** Teams that need 100+ transcription languages, shared company history, automations across many apps, or advanced admin controls without an enterprise contract. **Price:** Core $8 and Advanced $15/user/month with annual billing Prices are per user/month. Core is $8 with annual billing or $16 month-to-month and includes unlimited bot-free notes, audio recording, screen/video recording, optional bot video, in-person capture, AI chat, MCP, webhooks, integrations, and 10 GB storage. Advanced is $15 or $30 and adds Salesforce, manager/deal views, policy enforcement, team webhooks, and 60 GB. Enterprise is custom. **Free option:** No permanent free plan is shown; a seven-day trial is available. ### Krisp strengths - Krisp’s clearest differentiator is real-time noise cancellation, voice isolation, and accent conversion across calling apps. - Bot-free audio and screen/video capture, optional bot-based video, iOS/Android in-person support, AI chat, MCP, and webhooks come at a relatively low entry price. - Action items are automatically generated and assigned, then managed workspace-wide with assignees, due dates, priority, and status. - On-device and private deployment options for enterprise customers with strict audio requirements. - Krisp says meeting data is not used to train its AI models; transcript-only audio can be processed on-device or deleted immediately after cloud transcription. ### Krisp tradeoffs - Mobile recording does not include Krisp’s signature noise cancellation. - Core includes only 10 GB of storage, while Salesforce, policy enforcement, manager views, and stronger team workflows require Advanced. - HIPAA/BAA is listed for enterprise deployments of 100+ seats. - Its 16-language count is materially narrower than products advertising 75–100+ languages. - Calendar-based speaker names are documented for one-on-one calls; group meetings still require a closer test of diarization and naming behavior. - Standard cloud meeting data is stored in the United States with no general regional-storage option. Enterprise pricing advertises a negotiable data-center choice and on-device private processing, so residency-sensitive buyers should verify the deployed architecture. ### Choose Krisp when - Call clarity and bot-free capture are the top requirements. - You want AV recording, MCP, webhooks, and mobile capture at a low per-recorder price. - Your enterprise may need private or on-device audio processing. ## Feature comparison | What matters | Bluedot | Krisp | | --- | --- | --- | | Capture options | Broad support — Bot-free browser and desktop capture, plus an optional Zoom bot. Bluedot usually captures meeting and system audio without joining a bot. Its newer desktop apps broaden support beyond browser-based Google Meet and Teams workflows, while an optional recorder bot is also documented for Zoom. | Broad support — Bot-free system-audio capture. Krisp records through the device without joining as a meeting participant. Its audio processing works across desktop calling apps. | | Desktop and mobile | Broad support — Browser, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Apple Watch. Device breadth is a standout, especially Apple Watch. Exact capture richness and speaker labeling depend on platform and mode. | Broad support — macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. Desktop combines recording with noise cancellation and voice features. Mobile supports in-person recording but not noise cancellation. | | In-person capture and speaker labels | Broad support — Mobile, watch, and desktop room recording. Bluedot supports iOS, Android, Apple Watch, browser, and desktop capture for room conversations. The Watch records without an iPhone nearby, then syncs through the iPhone app. Bluedot’s speaker-recognition matrix documents desktop and browser meeting platforms, not mobile or Watch name-label parity, so verify those modes on a real group meeting. | Broad support — Native iOS and Android room capture. Mobile apps record and upload in-person conversations, but Krisp only documents automatic calendar-based speaker names for one-on-one meetings; ad-hoc meetings need manual assignment. The flagship noise-cancellation capability is also unavailable on mobile. | | Recordings, playback, and clips | Available with limits — Audio on Basic; video, clips, and unlimited duration on Pro+. Basic records audio only and limits meetings to one hour. Pro adds video and removes the meeting-length limit, with playback and clips for reviewing and sharing recordings. | Broad support — Bot-free audio and screen/video; optional bot video. Krisp supports bot-free screen and video recording on supported macOS and Windows versions. An optional bot can also retain meeting video. Advanced adds trimming, comments, and more storage. Check storage quotas if your team keeps many recordings. | | Notes, action items, and search | Broad support — AI notes, templates, action items, chat, and workspace memory. Notes and meeting chat are easy to use. Templates can extract action items, responsible people, and timelines. Bluedot does not document an all-meetings workspace task center with assignment and completion state, so serious follow-through usually moves into another system. | Broad support — AI notes plus a centralized, assigned action-item tracker. Krisp automatically generates and assigns action items when calendar identity or transcript speaker identity is available. The workspace action center supports all-team and assigned-to-me views, reassignment, due dates, priority, status, and completion. The shared action center helps teams track follow-up; broader person and company histories are more limited. | | People, companies, and context | Available with limits — Workspace meeting memory, without broader email relationship context. Bluedot supports search and chat across meetings. The cited docs do not establish person and company histories that combine meetings, email, and calendar context. | Narrow or indirect — Meeting library and AI chat. Meetings are searchable and available through AI chat, but the product does not emphasize combined email, calendar, person, and company relationship pages. | | Automatic sharing and workspace defaults | Available with limits — Attendee auto-share and workspace permissions. Individuals can automatically share recordings and notes with meeting participants. Workspace admins can restrict external sharing and enforce recording defaults, while conditional auto-sorting remains a user-level setting rather than a workspace-wide sharing policy. | Broad support — Calendar, manager, and recurring-channel auto-sharing. Krisp auto-shares transcripts, notes, and recordings to same-workspace calendar invitees when its calendar and join prerequisites are met; the setting defaults on during rollout. Advanced can also route selected users’ external meetings to managers, and recurring meetings can post to Teams channels. The audience logic is useful but narrower than a general title, participant, domain, tag, and destination rule builder. | | Automations | Available with limits — Advanced workflows and task-capable webhooks on Business. Bluedot supports automated recording and post-meeting workflows. Webhooks can send summaries and transcripts to custom endpoints that create tasks in Asana, Trello, or Jira, although that downstream mapping is something the customer builds. Its deepest CRM/ATS and team-wide workflow features are reserved for Business. | Available with limits — Automatic action items, webhooks, and Zapier; fewer native rules. Core includes action-item, note, and transcript triggers through Zapier and webhooks; a generated action item can create a Jira task through Zapier. Advanced adds team webhooks. Krisp is still less centered on custom AI extraction and a native multi-step condition/action canvas. | | Integrations | Available with limits — Core collaboration tools; CRM and ATS on Business. The catalog covers common destinations but is smaller than platforms advertising hundreds or thousands of connections. CRM/ATS access is a top-plan feature. | Available with limits — Common work tools; Salesforce on Advanced. Core covers general integrations and webhooks. Salesforce and more revenue-focused management features require Advanced. | | API, MCP, CLI, and data portability | Available with limits — Personal MCP; organization MCP and webhooks on Business. Personal MCP and user-level webhooks are available below Business; organization-wide MCP and team webhooks require Business. MCP follows the meetings the authenticated Bluedot user can already access, while team webhooks can receive events for every workspace user after support enables them. Users can also export transcripts as PDF or TXT and recordings as WebM. | Broad support — MCP with transcripts and tasks, plus webhooks on Core. The hosted OAuth MCP can search meetings, fetch full transcripts and summaries, list action items by assignee or completion state, inspect activity, and read upcoming meetings. Agent access is unusually accessible at the entry tier. Teams needing centralized webhook management move to Advanced, while private deployment is Enterprise. | | Security, privacy, and admin | Available with limits — Retention, SSO/SCIM, and advanced administration on Business. Business adds SSO/SAML, SCIM, configurable retention, and EU residency. Bluedot says customer data is not used to train models and AI providers retain nothing after generation. Its pricing and cancellation help pages currently disagree on whether canceled recordings are deleted after one or three months. | Available with limits — Policy tools on Advanced; private deployment and compliance on Enterprise. Enforced modes and manager views require Advanced. SSO/SCIM, a negotiable data-center choice, unlimited storage, private/on-device options, and the documented 100+ seat HIPAA path are Enterprise. Krisp’s security page says standard cloud data is US-hosted with no regional option. | | Languages | Broad support — 100+ languages advertised. Bluedot advertises broad language support. As with every vendor, evaluate real calls with accents, crosstalk, and domain vocabulary rather than relying on the count alone. | Narrow or indirect — 16 transcription languages. Adequate for many English-centered teams, but much narrower on paper than competitors advertising 75 or 100+ languages. | Ratings describe documented breadth rather than overall product quality: - **Broad support:** Broad native support across the product or relevant paid plans. - **Available with limits:** Documented support with meaningful scope, mode, or plan limits. - **Narrow or indirect:** Narrow, indirect, beta, or substantially plan-gated support. - **Not documented:** No current first-party documentation for a native option. ## Detailed analysis ### Capture options **Both products document broad support for capture options, with different scope and plan limits.** **Bluedot:** Bot-free browser and desktop capture, plus an optional Zoom bot.

Automatic sharing, search, and automations turn those meetings into shared company memory. People and AI agents can use the same complete record through the app, API, MCP, and CLI. In-person conversations captured on mobile or Apple Watch, plus imported recordings, flow through the same system. Circleback can also search connected apps and take action in them. It is built for people and AI agents: the same complete meeting data available to a person is available programmatically to ChatGPT, Claude, other agents, and internal tools through the API, MCP, and CLI. Free; Pro from $15/user/month annually; Business from $25/user/month annually; Enterprise $35/user/month, billed annually. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which is better: Bluedot or Krisp?
