Mic Buddy vs SpeakVibe

Mic Buddy is a speech practice app that scores pace, filler words, pauses and clarity, then suggests an area to work on next. Practice formats include mock interviews, short drills, multi-day programs, daily prompts and a word of the day. Its transcript marks filler words, soft words and pauses of 1.5 seconds or longer. The app also offers words-per-minute tracking, a speech timer, word count and a basic clarity score. Mic Buddy supports English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish and Chinese. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac; the website says an Android version is coming to Google Play. The free plan offers unlimited practice sessions and saves the last five sessions. Listed paid options are $12.99 a month, $29.99 a year, $49.99 a year and 99.99 USD once. The site marks Premium as coming soon and lists features such as unlimited saved sessions, analytics, tips, prompts, PDF transcript export and priority support. The maker says audio and transcripts are processed and stored on-device rather than uploaded to its servers. Account and subscription functions involve Supabase and RevenueCat, with Apple App Store handling distribution and payments.

SpeakVibe is an iOS AI public-speaking coach combining recorded speech analysis with exercises for stage fright. It analyzes recorded or uploaded video for vocal tone, pace, filler words, and confidence, then gives feedback on eye contact, gestures, posture, and stage presence. Feedback is provided after recording. Practice tools include a script editor, teleprompter, read-only transcripts, event scheduling, structured courses, and progress tracking. Calming exercises cover 4-7-8 breathing, power poses, grounding, and quick-calm drills. The app is aimed at interview and presentation preparation, wedding toasts, students, and people seeking greater speaking confidence. It is free to download with core features; a subscription unlocks unlimited AI analyses and the full course library. The Free plan costs nothing, and Lifetime Access costs $89.99, paid once. SpeakVibe runs on iPhone and iPad; Android is described as on the roadmap. Uploaded videos are processed with Google Gemini AI and are not permanently stored or accessed by the developer. AI analysis may be inaccurate, internet access is required, and usage may depend on the subscription plan.
