muet vs Krisp: which fits your meetings?
muet and Krisp help with two familiar problems: distracting call noise and the details you forget once a meeting ends. Both offer transcription, AI notes, and noise reduction. Choosing between them comes down to where you want your meeting content processed, how you revisit it, and whether you work independently or need a connected team workspace.
A personal meeting library or a shared workspace
muet brings your conversations into a library on your Mac. After a client call, you can review the transcript, read an AI recap, and check decisions, action items, and open questions. Before the next meeting, ask the local assistant what you agreed last time. Edit your notes, copy a recap, or export a meeting as Markdown when you want to take it elsewhere.
Krisp connects meeting notes to a broader workflow. Alongside summaries and action items, it offers shared workspaces and integrations with tools such as Salesforce and Slack. That can suit teams that need meeting information to move between colleagues and business systems. Availability depends on the Krisp plan you choose.
Where the AI runs matters
In muet, transcription, AI recaps, and questions about saved meetings run on your Mac. Once the models are downloaded, those features can work offline. Online calls, model downloads, and app updates still need a connection. You need macOS 15 or later and an Apple silicon Mac, with enough storage for the models and your meeting library.
Krisp also has local processing options. It advertises on-device English transcription, while other transcription languages use servers. Its Enterprise offering lists private on-device transcription and recordings. Check the specific feature, language, and mode: an on-device transcript does not automatically tell you where every other AI feature runs.
Clearer calls, with different priorities
muet reduces background noise from your microphone through a virtual mic selected in your calling app. It helps clean up your side of the conversation. Krisp offers noise cancellation and additional voice features, with options varying by product and plan.
If your priority is a personal meeting library with local AI on your Mac, muet is a focused fit. If shared workflows, CRM connections, and enterprise administration matter more, Krisp is worth considering. Start with how you want to use your notes after the call.

Does muet work offline?
After downloading the models, muet processes transcripts, AI recaps, and meeting questions locally. Initial model downloads and app updates need internet access; online calls still need their usual connection.
