What they are

Krisp

Krisp runs as a virtual audio device on your desktop, stripping background noise from both sides of a call in real time and processing audio locally so your voice never hits the cloud. It has since expanded into a full meeting assistant: bot-free transcription, AI summaries, action items, and real-time accent conversion for Indian, Filipino, and Latin American English speakers. Podcasters, remote workers, and call center teams use it. The AI summaries are functional but less polished than those from note-taking-focused rivals.

Pixlr

Pixlr is a web and mobile photo editor that covers everything from quick retouches to layered compositions, running entirely in the browser with no download required. It attracts social media creators, bloggers, and small-business owners who need Photoshop-adjacent tools without the Adobe subscription cost. The free tier is functional but ad-supported and now leans heavily on AI features that push users toward paid plans. At $1.99 per month the entry plan is genuinely affordable, though the feature set per tier can feel inconsistently gated.
