| Which plan to pick | Pro on yearly billing is the sweet spot: $10 a seat removes the storage cap and turns on integrations. Only step up to Business if you need video recordings or want to see team talk-time and coaching stats. Monthly billing costs nearly twice as much, so commit for a year once you know you'll use it. | Core on yearly billing covers almost everyone. Monthly billing is double the price, so only use it while you decide. Advanced is only worth it for sales teams that need Salesforce sync or lots of accent conversion; call centres should look at Krisp's separate Call Center plans. | Beginner is fine until you hit the five-project wall. Pro on the yearly plan is the obvious move after that. Business is for teams who want a shared space; it is not a substitute for a real project tool. |
