Teleprompter.com alternatives: five apps compared, and when to stay

Teleprompter.com is one of the most-installed prompter apps there is, and most people who look for an alternative are not unhappy with the prompter itself. They hit one of three walls: the free plan puts a watermark on every video, mirroring and 4K sit on a subscription, or they want something that does less and asks for less. Each of those has a different answer, and for some people the honest answer is to stay. Every competitor figure below was read from the vendor’s own pricing page or store listing on 13 November 2026, in US dollars.

What Teleprompter.com offers, as of November 2026

Teleprompter.com is made by Teleprompter LLC. It is a prompter and recorder with a long feature list: voice scrolling it calls VoiceGlide (shown as Auto Scroll in the app’s settings), remote control from another device, a watch, a keyboard, a presentation clicker, a game controller or a foot pedal, automatic subtitles, an AI script generator and rephrasing, background blur and replacement, and basic video editing.

Its pricing page, checked 13 November 2026, splits the plans like this:

• Starter, free: “record with watermark”, export at 1080p, cloud script storage, custom fonts and colours, remote control, and access on iOS, Android, macOS and the web. The AI script generator and automatic subtitles are listed as “Try once”.
• Pro: $19.99 a month billed monthly, or $7.50 a month billed yearly. Adds 4K recording with no watermark, horizontal and vertical mirroring, remote preview on another device, subtitle generation and clean audio. The App Store listing words it as “Pro from $89.99/year, 7-day free trial, one subscription across all platforms”.
• Max: $49.99 a month, or $24.99 a month billed yearly. More cloud storage and longer subtitle generation.
• Team: $49.99 per seat a month, or $24.99 per seat billed yearly, with multiple editors and a shared workspace.

The pricing page offers a 7-day free trial on annual plans and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and allows three logged-in devices per user on every plan. Two things on it are worth reading twice. The FAQ says plainly that the free plan “includes a watermark on all exported videos”. And mirroring, which you need for a glass teleprompter rig, is listed under Pro, while the Google Play description presents mirroring as part of the free app; at least one Play reviewer in September 2026 said it was behind the subscription. Check it in the app before you build a rig around it.

The App Store listing also shows ten in-app purchase lines at different prices (among them $89.99, $59.99 and $19.99, and weekly plans at $4.99), without saying which is current. Those are probably older plans and regional offers, but the safe reading is that the price you pay is whatever your own store shows on the paywall.

Is Teleprompter.com on Android?

Yes. Some third-party lists say it is iPhone-only, and they are out of date. On 13 November 2026 the Google Play listing for Teleprompter.com by Teleprompter LLC showed 500K+ downloads, a 4.7 rating from about 12,000 reviews, and an update dated 4 November 2026. Its pricing page lists the Android app on every plan. On Apple devices it runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 15 or later), Mac (macOS 12 or later), Apple Watch and Vision Pro, with 4.8 stars from about 30,000 App Store ratings.

VoiceGlide, its voice scrolling

Teleprompter.com’s voice-scrolling page says VoiceGlide is “included free on every plan”, follows the voice in all 28 languages the app is translated into, including Hebrew and Arabic, and runs speech recognition on the device, so it works offline on iOS, Android and macOS. That is a generous free offer, and the main reason many people should not switch. We have not tested VoiceGlide ourselves, so we make no claim about how well it holds when you go off script.

Account and data

The website asks you to “create a free account”, the plans are counted in logged-in devices, and the App Store listing describes sign-in with Apple or Google across devices. Its privacy label lists email address, user and device IDs and product interaction as data linked to you, with identifiers used for tracking. Whether the phone apps can be used with no sign-in at all, we could not confirm from the listings. If an unreleased script must stay on your phone, that is worth checking before you paste it in.

Teleprompter.com alternatives compared

Each alternative, and who it suits

VoicePrompter: free voice scrolling, no account

VoicePrompter, by Kanstantsin Suvorau, is the closest thing to Teleprompter.com’s voice scrolling without a sign-in. Its site says the web app is “completely free and open source”, works offline once installed as a home-screen app, auto-detects 34 languages and has built-in video recording, and that “no account, sign-up, or email is required”. The native apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android are free to try with up to three custom scripts and record up to 4K on supported devices. On 13 November 2026 the US App Store listed $9.99 a month, $49.99 a year and $99.99 for lifetime, with a $69.99 lifetime promotion alongside. It has no captions or AI script tools. Several App Store apps have “voice prompter” in the name, so check the developer before installing. We compare it in depth in VoicePrompter alternatives.

Speakflow: laptops, video calls and teams

Speakflow is a browser prompter first, with desktop apps for Mac and Windows. Its pricing page on 13 November 2026 shows a Free plan with the teleprompter, auto scrolling and 10 minutes a month of Flow, its voice scrolling, plus 7 days of script history. That is less than it offered earlier this month, when Flow was unlimited on Free. Plus, at $15 a month billed yearly, adds unlimited Flow, recording with 1 hour of storage, Overlay (a prompter that floats over Zoom, Meet and Teams), voice commands, device sync and real-time collaboration; the monthly-billed price was not shown in the page we read. Studio is $99 a month billed yearly. If you mostly read from a laptop on calls, or several people edit one script, Speakflow covers ground that Teleprompter.com’s Team plan does at a different price. More in Speakflow alternatives.

Teleprompter Pro: a fixed-speed studio prompter with a one-time price

Teleprompter Pro, by Teleprompter Apps Ltd, was called Teleprompter Premium until late 2023. Its App Store listing (4.7 stars from about 16,000 ratings) lists recording with the camera and remote control by keyboard, handheld remote or game controller as Pro features, and remote control from any browser on the same Wi-Fi network as a free one. It does not list voice scrolling, and we found no Android app. It suits people who run a fixed-speed prompter on an iPad in a rig and would rather pay once. The head-to-head is below.

PromptSmart: voice tracking on a phone since long before most

PromptSmart Pro is a paid-upfront app on iOS ($29.99 on the US App Store on 13 November 2026), with in-app purchases for its Extended features. Its VoiceTrack starts and stops at your pace and, by its listing’s description, waits for you when you go off script. When we checked earlier in November, the free Lite tier capped VoiceTrack at three minutes and did not record video, and the Android listing said VoiceTrack was English-only. In our own August 2026 test, VoiceTrack stopped following when we recorded video; that is a dated result, explained in why PromptSmart VoiceTrack stops when recording video.

Orate: free export without a watermark, on a phone

Orate is the app we make. It is narrower than Teleprompter.com and is not trying to be a studio: it is a phone and iPad recorder with the script directly under the front camera, and the free tier records and exports with no watermark. The details, and what it does not do, are in its own section below.

Teleprompter.com vs Teleprompter Pro

People compare these two because the names are almost the same. They are different companies and quite different apps:

• Voice scrolling. Teleprompter.com has VoiceGlide on every plan, free. Teleprompter Pro does not list voice scrolling.
• Android. Teleprompter.com has a Google Play app with 500K+ downloads. Teleprompter Pro is Apple-only: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and, as the separate Teleprompter Pro+, the Mac.
• Price shape. Teleprompter.com is a subscription: Pro at $19.99 a month or $7.50 a month billed yearly. Teleprompter Pro’s developer listed $59.99 a year or $159.99 once when we checked on 2 November 2026, and on 13 November its App Store listing showed a $59.99 subscription and a $159.99 purchase.
• Extras. Teleprompter.com adds subtitles, AI script help, background effects and editing. Teleprompter Pro sticks to prompting, recording and remotes.

If you want a voice-following prompter on Android, Teleprompter.com wins this pair outright. If you run a fixed-speed iPad prompter and dislike subscriptions, Teleprompter Pro’s one-time option is the reason to pick it. The three apps that now share the “Teleprompter Premium” name are untangled in Orate vs Teleprompter Premium.

Stay with Teleprompter.com if…

Plenty of people should not switch. Stay if:

• You want free voice scrolling that records, on every device you own. VoiceGlide is free on every plan, runs on device and works offline, on iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac. Few apps match that combination for free; Orate’s voice scrolling is in Pro.
• You want captions in the same app. Pro generates subtitles. Orate has no captions, and neither VoicePrompter nor Teleprompter Pro lists them.
• You use AI to draft or rephrase scripts. Teleprompter.com has it built in. Orate has no AI script tools.
• You drive the prompter from something else. Another phone, an Apple Watch, a Bluetooth keyboard, a clicker, a foot pedal. Orate has no remote or clicker support.
• You already pay for Pro and the watermark is gone. At $7.50 a month billed yearly, with 4K, mirroring and subtitles included, switching only makes sense if you have stopped using those.
• A team writes the scripts. The Team plan has a shared workspace and multiple editors. No phone-only app here does.

One more thing, since “Teleprompter.com mod APK” is a common search: a modified APK is an app from an unknown source with your camera and microphone permissions. The free Starter plan, or any of the free tiers above, is the safer way to avoid paying.

Orate, if you record on your phone

If what you want from an alternative is a clean file without paying, and your camera is your phone, this is what Orate does:

1. The free tier records and exports with no watermark, up to 1080p, front or back camera, and keeps three saved scripts. There is no watermark on either tier. Pro adds 4K, 60fps, HDR, unlimited scripts and Follow my voice. On the US App Store Pro is $8.99 a month, $49.99 a year or $79.99 once, and the subscriptions start with a 3-day free trial.
2. The script sits in a band directly under the front camera, so your eyes stay near the lens rather than reading across the screen. The band can be made bigger or smaller, and the speed can change mid-take without losing your place.
3. No account and no server. Scripts and video stay on the phone, and the app works offline.
4. Takes survive a crash. If the app is killed mid-take, you keep the take minus at most its last couple of seconds.
5. Follow my voice scrolls as you read, holds when you go off script and runs on the device, offline after a one-time language download. It needs iOS 18 or Android 12. On iPhone it keeps following while you record; on Android, if a phone silences the recogniser during a take, the recorder notices and carries on at a fixed speed.
6. Trim and crop afterwards to vertical, square, portrait or landscape before you share.

What Orate does not have, stated plainly: no captions, no AI script writing, no remote or Bluetooth clicker support, no desktop or web app (our free online teleprompter reads in a browser but does not record), no cloud sync and no team workspace. Voice scrolling is in Pro, not free. If you need those, Teleprompter.com is the better fit.

How to choose in ten minutes

Use one real script, about 300 words, and run the same three tests in each app you shortlist:

1. Record a minute on the free tier, save it, and open the file. Look at every corner for a watermark, check the resolution, and play the last few seconds. Teleprompter apps with free export and no watermark explains where the gate usually hides.
2. Read with voice scrolling on while recording. Skip a sentence, ad-lib one, then go back. The text should wait while you are off script, and the take should have clear sound.
3. Turn on flight mode and try again. If the app needs a connection or a sign-in to open your script, you will find out before a shoot rather than during one.

If you are still choosing between phone apps after that, the teleprompter app comparison has the fuller matrix.

Questions people ask

Is Teleprompter.com free?

Partly. As of 13 November 2026 its free Starter plan includes the teleprompter, VoiceGlide voice scrolling, remote control and recording at 1080p, but every exported video carries a watermark. Pro removes the watermark and adds 4K, mirroring and subtitles at $19.99 a month, or $7.50 a month billed yearly.

Is Teleprompter.com available on Android?

Yes. On 13 November 2026 the Teleprompter.com app by Teleprompter LLC was on Google Play with 500K+ downloads and a 4.7 rating, last updated 4 November 2026. It also runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and the web.

What is VoiceGlide, and is it free?

VoiceGlide is Teleprompter.com’s voice scrolling, shown as Auto Scroll in the app. Its site says it is included free on every plan, follows the voice in the 28 languages the app is translated into, and runs on the device, so it works offline on iOS, Android and macOS. We have not tested it ourselves.

What is the difference between Teleprompter.com and Teleprompter Pro?

They are different apps from different companies. Teleprompter.com has free voice scrolling, an Android app, subtitles and AI script tools, on a subscription. Teleprompter Pro, by Teleprompter Apps Ltd and formerly called Teleprompter Premium, is Apple-only, does not list voice scrolling, and its developer listed $59.99 a year or $159.99 once.

Does Teleprompter.com put a watermark on videos?

On the free plan, yes. Its pricing page FAQ says watermark-free exports are available only on paid plans and that the free plan includes a watermark on all exported videos. Orate exports without a watermark on its free tier, up to 1080p.

What is the best free alternative to Teleprompter.com?

For free voice scrolling with no account, VoicePrompter’s web app is free and open source. For recording and exporting on a phone with no watermark, Orate’s free tier records up to 1080p. If you want free voice scrolling inside a recorder and can live with a watermark, Teleprompter.com’s own Starter plan is hard to beat.
