# The best teleprompter apps for iPhone and iPad

By [Richard Frantzen](https://x.com/frantzenrichard), maker of Best Free Prompter · Updated 3 November 2026

Whether you film yourself on an iPhone or put an iPad behind teleprompter glass, these are the best options, from free to pro.

**Transparency:** we make Best Free Prompter, so it is listed first as the free, no-download option. Everything about the other apps comes from their official websites and app store listings, checked 3 November 2026, and we say where another app is the better choice.

## The short answer

- **Free, nothing to install (Safari):** [Best Free Prompter](#bfp)
- **Recording with voice scrolling:** [Teleprompter.com](#tpcom)
- **Offline voice tracking:** [PromptSmart+](#promptsmart)
- **Remote control and a generous free tier:** [Teleprompter Pro](#tppro)
- **Social video and captions:** [BIGVU](#bigvu)
- **AI captions after recording:** [Captions](#captions)
- **A free app with no purchases:** [Parrot Teleprompter](#parrot)

## Recording on the same iPhone

If you want the script and the camera on the same phone, pick an app that records (Teleprompter.com, PromptSmart+, BIGVU, Captions) so the text sits right under the front camera. If you film with another camera, or use an iPad behind glass, a browser teleprompter like Best Free Prompter in Safari is enough: add it to your home screen, turn on mirror mode for glass, and use your phone as a remote.

On iPhone, Best Free Prompter's voice follow uses Apple's speech recognition in Safari, and you can pinch to resize the text.

## How we compared them

We looked at what matters when you actually read a script on camera: whether the text can follow your voice instead of a fixed speed, what you can do for free, which devices it runs on, whether it records video itself, and what you have to give up (an account, a watermark, a subscription). Facts come from each product's own website and app store listing; we don't quote anonymous reviews.
