How we compared them
Seven apps people choose for recording themselves from a script, compared on what decides the choice: where it runs, what the free plan really allows, how the text moves, what happens when you stumble, whether you get subtitles, and the price. Only each app’s own pages count as a source; where they do not say, the table says so.
Inream Teleprompter: best in a browser, for a finished take
Inream Teleprompter runs in the browser on any phone or laptop, so there is nothing to install and it works the same on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows. Paste a script and it is reflowed into short lines right under the camera. Auto-pause moves the text while you speak and waits when you stop, in any language; Adaptive learns your pace; Linear holds a fixed 60-200 words per minute.
Its difference is what you get at the end: subtitles come from your script, word for word, with an .srt file, on the free plan too. A call or an app switch ends the take and keeps it, the screen stays awake, and videos stay on your device.
Limits: no video editor, no remote control, and free exports are 720p with a watermark. Pro is $19/month, $35 for 3 months or $73/year.
Teleprompter Pro: best on Apple devices, free without a watermark
Teleprompter Pro, called Teleprompter Premium until late 2023, runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Its free plan records without limit and without a watermark. It takes keyboards, remotes, foot pedals and game controllers, and sends a clean feed to a studio screen over HDMI or AirPlay.
Limits: Apple devices only, and its guide describes fixed-speed, paging and timed scrolling rather than scrolling that follows your voice. Paid: $59.99/year or $159.99 once.
Teleprompter.com: best for voice tracking in native apps
Teleprompter.com has apps for iOS (with an Apple Watch remote), Android and macOS, plus a web version. VoiceGlide follows your words with on-device speech recognition in 28 languages, free on every plan, and the free plan records 1080p with a watermark.
Limits: subtitles are generated from the audio and on the free plan you can try them once. Pro is $19.99/month, or $7.50/month billed yearly.
VoicePrompter: best free web prompter with speech recognition
VoicePrompter’s web app is free with no stated limits and follows your speech word by word, in 34 languages on the web and 60+ on Apple devices. On iPhone it can float over Instagram or TikTok while you film inside them.
Limits: web recordings download as a plain MP4, and its pages do not describe subtitles. Pro is listed at “$3.34/mo”, or $99.99 for a lifetime licence.
BIGVU: best if you want to edit with AI afterwards
BIGVU is a recording and editing platform: teleprompter, auto-captions from the audio, AI WordTrim that removes “um”s and repeats from the transcript, eye-contact correction, B-roll and team workspaces.
Limits: the free plan exports 720p with a watermark and caps a video at 9 minutes; Starter ($12/month) is 1080p with the same cap.
PromptSmart: best for long scripts and a crew
PromptSmart’s VoiceTrack matches your words to the script and picks up again after you improvise, in five languages. A second person can run the prompter from another device, and there is a studio edition for Windows and macOS.
Limits: no free plan beyond a 7-day trial and a Lite iOS app that holds one script. $9.99/month or $99.99/year.
CapCut: best if you already edit in CapCut
CapCut has a free teleprompter on the recording screen of its mobile app, with adjustable speed, and the full editor right after. Manual edits without premium assets export without a watermark.
Limits: the teleprompter is not on CapCut Desktop or Web, scrolls at a fixed speed, and mistakes are fixed in the editor afterwards.
