Prompt+ vs PromptSmart

Prompt+ scrolls a script on screen for presentations, teaching, and sermons. Users can change scrolling speed, pause, or reverse direction, as well as adjust font size and text or background colours and highlight words. Scripts can be imported from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud, or from TXT, RTF, PDF, and Google Docs; DOCX import is available on iOS but not macOS. Prompt+ works alongside Zoom on iPad and Mac, while the iPhone version cannot be used with Zoom. On Mac, it can also be used with Teams, Facebook Live, and other live-streaming platforms. Control options include Bluetooth presentation remotes, foot pedals, wireless keyboards, game controllers, or another Mac or iOS device. It can mirror text for a physical teleprompter and show a countdown and clock. Signing in enables cloud access across devices; without login, scripts remain on the device and are not shared across devices. The free plan limits scripts to 750 characters. Premium Teleprompter removes that limit for a one-time 19.99 USD in-app purchase.

PromptSmart is a cross-platform video production suite centered on teleprompter software. Its VoiceTrack feature follows a script as you speak, pauses when you stop or improvise, and resumes when you return to the text. The company says speech processing happens locally on the device and does not need an internet connection. Scripts can be drafted or edited in the My PromptSmart portal and synced across devices; listed cloud sources include iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box. For session control, PromptSmart offers a mobile Remote Control app and a browser-based control room. Starter Pack includes one remote-control session, while Team supports multiple sessions. The portal can create unlimited duplicate displays, but this feature requires internet access. The company says its iOS and Android apps can record video in 4K. PromptSmart lists public speakers, educators, actors, clergy, audiobook narrators, salespeople, influencers, and corporate users among the audiences it serves. Starter Pack costs $9.99 a month, and Team costs $19.99 a month. Enterprise pricing is available by contacting the company. A 7-day trial is offered, with no free plan.
