Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Epson iProjection at Free against PrompterPal's $7.99. Epson iProjection also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 6). PrompterPal's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Epson iProjection holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epson iProjection has 3.4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of PrompterPal's written reviews are positive against 20% of Epson iProjection's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PrompterPal ships an update every 6 weeks, Epson iProjection every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
