# FloatText vs Teleprompter

The clearest difference is monetization model: Teleprompter at free with in-app purchases against FloatText's subscription. Teleprompter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). FloatText's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 63%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FloatText sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Teleprompter sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FloatText holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FloatText has 332 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of FloatText's written reviews are positive against 63% of Teleprompter's.
