The Verdict
Krisp is built for remote workers and call center agents, with a focus on noise-cancellation and echo-removal. Things 3 targets apple users and gtd practitioners and leads with inbox and today-view.
Pricing is close: Krisp starts at $8/mo versus $9.99/mo for Things 3 — not a deciding factor on its own.
Krisp has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Things 3 requires a paid subscription from day one.
Things 3 edges out on user ratings (4.8 vs 4.4). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Things 3 has a slight overall edge — but if works with any app matters most to you, Krisp may still be the right call.
