Free and paid teleprompters with voice-following scrolling, compared on price, platforms and recording." updated: 3 November 2026 author: Richard Frantzen (https://x.com/frantzenrichard) --- # The best PromptSmart alternatives By [Richard Frantzen](https://x.com/frantzenrichard), maker of Best Free Prompter · Updated 3 November 2026 PromptSmart is known for VoiceTrack, but it needs a subscription after the trial. These teleprompters also follow your voice, several of them for free. **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 voice follow in any browser:** [Best Free Prompter](#bfp) - **Voice scrolling plus recording:** [Teleprompter.com](#tpcom) - **Presenters and teams:** [Speakflow](#speakflow) - **Free voice scrolling in Chrome:** [Teleprompter Mirror (web software)](#tpmirror) - **A desk setup with real eye contact:** [Elgato Prompter](#elgato) - **IOS users who prefer a remote:** [Teleprompter Pro](#tppro) ## Why people look for a PromptSmart alternative - **Price:** PromptSmart+ is free to download, but VoiceTrack, recording and mirroring need the subscription ($8.99 a month or $79.99 a year as listed), and extra language packs are sold separately. - **Devices:** PromptSmart+ is an iPhone, iPad and Android app. If you want to read from a laptop or a work computer, a browser teleprompter is simpler. PromptSmart is still a good choice if you want mature, offline voice tracking on a phone and you're happy to pay for it. ## Side-by-side comparison | App | Price | Platforms | Follows your voice | Records video | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Best Free Prompter | Free.

Facts come from each product's own website and app store listing; we don't quote anonymous reviews. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is there a free alternative to PromptSmart? [Best Free Prompter](https://www.bestfreeprompter.com/) follows your voice for free in Chrome, Edge and Safari with no account. Teleprompter Mirror has a free voice page for Chrome, and Teleprompter.com lists VoiceGlide on its free plan. ### What is the best PromptSmart alternative with recording?

Browser teleprompters use the browser's speech recognition. Best Free Prompter matches several words at a time, so a misheard word or small ad-lib does not throw it off, and in recent Chrome recognition can run on your device.
