CueCast Prompter vs Teleprompterly

CueCast Prompter is cross-platform teleprompting software with smooth scrolling, rich-text scripts and an advanced timer system. Its editor supports bold, italic, underline, colours, highlights, baseline and alignment formatting, plus emoji. It imports Word, PowerPoint and OpenOffice documents and exports scripts to PDF. The free plan includes basic prompting, script editing, script-based triggers and full-screen prompting on a local display. Pro adds a basic 100-minute timer and an advanced timer with countdown, count-up, time-based countdowns, coloured tags and labels. Pro also supports NewTek NDI and output to Blackmagic Design devices using SDI/SMPTE2110. SlideSync can synchronise stories with slides in PowerPoint, ProPresenter and XPression. Other Pro features include IP-based remote control and unlimited remote extenders. The Pro trial lasts 30 days; afterward, use is limited to basic prompting and script editing unless a Pro licence is purchased. That licence is perpetual, with no subscription fees, but a new licence is needed to upgrade. Current downloads require Windows 10 or newer on Intel/AMD PCs, Windows 11 on ARM PCs, or macOS 12 Monterey or newer; Linux downloads are also offered.

Teleprompterly is a browser-based teleprompter for reading a script while recording video or audio. Its Studio records from a camera and microphone, with the script scrolling over the camera feed and framing options of 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1. Readers can choose among ten scroll speeds and adjust them while reading. Display controls include font sizing, an eye-line marker, a progress bar, tap-to-pause and keyboard shortcuts; mirror mode flips text for beam-splitter rigs. It supports English and Hindi in Devanagari, including mixed-language scripts. The free plan is free forever, allows unlimited script length, requires no account and adds no watermark; recordings can be downloaded. Scripts stay in browser storage and recordings in browser memory until download, and the site says data is not sent to a server. It works in Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on desktop and mobile browsers, including phones and tablets. You can use it alongside Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Webex. Voice-follow scrolling is described as a native-app feature, not a Teleprompterly feature.
