What our research says

Adobe Podcast

Enhance Speech is still the single best free fix for bad spoken audio, and the rest of Adobe Podcast is an afterthought around it. Treat it as a filter you visit, not a studio you move into.

Pros

The enhancement quality on speech is still ahead of most paid denoisers
Usable free tier that is a real product, not a watermarked demo
Runs entirely in the browser with no install
Paid access now comes bundled with Firefly Pro's generative credits

Cons

The filter over-processes: heavy sibilance and an artificial timbre on already-clean audio
No strength control at all on the free tier, so it is all or nothing
Free tier is audio-only, video needs Premium
Premium is no longer sold standalone; new buyers must take the broader Firefly Pro plan

Krisp

Krisp is worth paying for if you take calls from places you cannot control, because it fixes the audio at the driver level rather than inside one app. The meeting-notes half is competent but not why you buy it.

Pros

Works as a virtual device beneath any app, so it is not tied to Zoom or Teams
Bidirectional: it also strips noise from the people you are listening to
A perpetual free tier still exists rather than the 7-day trial the pricing page pushes
On-device private transcription is available on Enterprise for regulated buyers

Cons

The pricing page foregrounds a 7-day trial and buries the free plan, which reads as a downgrade
Accent conversion on the speaker side is capped by hours per day even on paid tiers
Month-to-month costs double the annual rate at every tier
Call Center AI is sold per agent on annual billing through sales or a prepaid trial, so it is not a self-serve option for small teams
