Your words. Your pace. Your next great take. OtterPrompt helps solo creators and video teams deliver a great take. Film yourself with a compact script near your front camera, or turn your iPhone or iPad into a full-screen Prompter controlled from another device. FILM YOURSELF WITH SELFIE MODE Keep your words close to the lens. Selfie mode places a small, narrow script window near the front camera to help limit eye movement while you record. Adjust text size, width, and visible lines separately from your regular Prompter settings. The window follows your camera position when you rotate your iPhone or iPad. Tap Record for your configured countdown; scrolling begins when the camera confirms recording has started. Pause or drag the script while filming continues, adjust speed, or save the take and start again. Review, share, and save to Photos. Your script and controls never appear in the saved video. Record vertical or horizontal video, with 4K on supported cameras. KEEP THE SCRIPT IN FOCUS Read from a script-only screen. Tap to reveal controls, drag to find your place, adjust margins, and flip the text horizontally or vertically for your setup. Choose Steady, Timed, Manual, or supported on-device Voice following. CONTROL THE TAKE Connect nearby devices with an in-app approval flow. No OtterPrompt account is needed. Start or pause, adjust speed and text size, choose a script, jump to a cue, or hold the text while your presenter catches up. Approved devices can reconnect. Apple Watch and compatible game controllers give you more ways to drive. GET YOUR WORDS READY Write, paste, or import scripts through Files. Use iCloud or a shared folder available through Files. Remove blank lines with confirmation and undo. See word counts and estimated reading time, choose script and speaker-note colors, and add bracketed notes that become cues. Draft recovery, version history, and Recently Deleted help protect your work. RECORD AND RETAKE Record takes on supported devices, check your microphone level, and return to a marked cue for a retake. Review and export recordings, and create text, SRT, or VTT captions using Apple Speech recognition. MADE FOR YOUR SETUP Use a clean external display through a compatible cable or AirPlay. On supported devices, the optional writing assistant uses Apple's on-device language model to help prepare a draft.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OtterPrompt at 5.0 against Monitor+'s 3.2. Monitor+'s advantage is ratings volume (281 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Monitor+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and OtterPrompt sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
OtterPrompt holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monitor+ has 281 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
