# FloatText vs Teleprompter

The clearest difference is rating: FloatText at 4.7 against Teleprompter's 2.3. FloatText also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). Teleprompter's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). 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 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FloatText holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FloatText has 332 ratings behind it against 3, 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 50% of Teleprompter's.

FloatText ships an update every 2 weeks, Teleprompter every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
