Prompt+ vs QPrompt

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.

QPrompt is a free, open-source teleprompter app for event operators and video creators working alone or in small teams. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android under the GNU General Public License v3, with no charge for commercial use. An adjustable reading area helps keep eyes toward the camera, while an opacity slider makes the background semi-transparent for video calls or other applications behind the script. The rich-text editor opens and copies formatted text from office suites, and LibreOffice can open additional formats in the background. Markers jump to script positions; a chronometer times scripts and estimates completion. Keyboard shortcuts work with presentation clickers and Contour Shuttle Controllers, and KDE Connect presentation mode can control scrolling from a phone. OpenDyslexic, horizontal guides, right-to-left support, and fonts for more than 180 languages address varied readers. Multiple screens are supported, except in the Snap build.
