# Best Teleprompter Apps for iPhone (2026): 6 Compared

By Andrii Gnasevych · Published 3 November 2026 · Updated 3 November 2026

**Short answer.** If you want voice-follow scrolling that runs on the phone, works offline and needs no account, use [Teleprompter Offline & Private](https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/teleprompter-offline-private/id6808964093?pt=128162591&ct=web_best_teleprompter_apps&mt=8). If you want the largest review base, cloud sync or AI scripting, look at Teleprompter, Teleprompter.com or BIGVU. If you prefer to pay once for voice tracking, PromptSmart Pro costs $29.99.

Disclosure: I build Teleprompter Offline & Private. Everything about the other apps comes from their public App Store listings, and I say so when a listing does not mention something.

## What to look for in a teleprompter app
- **Scrolling that matches you.** Fixed-speed scrolling forces you to match the app. Voice-follow scrolling matches the app to you: it moves while you speak and waits when you pause.
- **Where your voice and scripts go.** Some apps send audio to a cloud speech service or store scripts in an account. Others process everything on the device.
- **Works without internet.** Matters for travel, events and locations with weak signal.
- **Cost model.** One-time purchase, free with optional upgrade, or subscription.
- **Recording.** Reading next to the lens while recording saves a step compared with using a separate camera app.

## The six apps

### 1. Teleprompter Offline & Private

The script scrolls as you speak, using speech recognition that runs on the iPhone. It works offline, needs no account, and has no ads or watermark. It records video in portrait or landscape up to 1080p, has mirror mode for beam-splitter rigs, supports Bluetooth remotes and keyboards, and detects the script language (English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese and more). Free to download with an optional Pro upgrade; recording length is limited in the free version. Limits: iPhone only, and it is new, so it has far fewer reviews than the established apps. [Details](https://www.a-devgroup.com/teleprompter/) · [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/teleprompter-offline-private/id6808964093?pt=128162591&ct=web_best_teleprompter_apps&mt=8)

### 2. Teleprompter (Teleprompter Apps Ltd)

Rated 4.8 from about 34,000 reviews. The listing mentions video recording with real-time effects, 120Hz scrolling on ProMotion devices, any installed font, cue points, a countdown, AirDrop for scripts and optional cloud sync across devices. It describes timed scrolling; voice-driven scrolling is not in the listing. Good for a mature, feature-rich manual prompter. [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/teleprompter/id941620509)

### 3. Teleprompter for Video (Norton Five Ltd)

Rated 4.9 from about 15,000 reviews. It offers voice-assisted scrolling, countdowns before and after recording, remote control of recording and scrolling, and adjustable font size and speed. A straightforward option if you want voice assistance and a simple interface. [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/teleprompter-for-video/id1139307843)

### 4. Teleprompter.com

Rated 4.8 from about 30,000 reviews. It has VoiceGlide voice-activated scrolling, timed scrolling, import of TXT, Word and PDF scripts from cloud services, automatic subtitles from scripts, AI-assisted rephrasing and live streaming, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. It is the broadest toolset here, and it is built around online services. [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/teleprompter-com/id1420515755)

### 5. BIGVU Teleprompter Captions AI

Rated 4.7 from about 36,000 reviews. Built for social video: AI eye-contact fix, captions, multiple takes, camera switching and the BIGVU cloud with web access. The app is free and premium features need a subscription. Best if captions and cloud editing matter more than offline use. [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bigvu-teleprompter-captions-ai/id1124958568)

### 6. PromptSmart Pro

Rated 4.6 from about 12,000 reviews. Its patented VoiceTrack technology follows the speaker in real time and starts and stops at your natural pace. Priced at $29.99 as a paid app, which suits people who dislike subscriptions. [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/promptsmart-pro-teleprompter/id894811756)
