# BigStage Teleprompter vs Cue

The clearest difference is rating: Cue at 4.6 against BigStage Teleprompter's 3.0. Cue also leads on ratings volume (64 vs 2). BigStage Teleprompter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cue sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. BigStage Teleprompter asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cue holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cue has 64 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of BigStage Teleprompter's written reviews are positive against 73% of Cue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BigStage Teleprompter ships an update every 5 days, Cue every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
