Made for iPhone Duo: half-open on the lectern, the phone is its own teleprompter stand. You have a speech to give โ a wedding toast, a keynote, a eulogy, a pitch. SpeechDraft is the whole job in one app: plan the speech block by block (opening, story, point, toast), write every word right inside the blocks, rehearse it against the clock, and stand up with full-screen cue cards or a teleprompter that follows your plan. From first idea to public speaking โ plan it, write it, say it on time. PLAN IT BLOCK BY BLOCK โข Over 25 templates shaped by how great speeches actually work โ wedding speeches, best man, maid of honor, father or mother of the bride, keynotes, investor pitches, stand-up sets, storytelling nights, eulogies, the 90-second job-interview answer, master of ceremonies, panel moderating and more โข Every block carries a coaching hint: what belongs there and why โ shown on the part you are about to write โข Set a target length and watch the total build as you plan โข Set the date you speak, and the home screen counts down to it WRITE IT IN PLACE โข Speech writing where the structure is: every word lives inside its block โ no separate document to lose โข Add photos or illustrations to your cue cards โข Reorder with a drag when the story wants a different shape DELIVER IT WITH CONFIDENCE โข Full-screen cue cards with a pace line per card: it fills as you speak, turns amber when it's time to land, red if you've gone over โข A teleprompter that takes its pace from the timings you set โ "Match my plan" solves the scroll rate that lands the speech exactly on time, and a pace chip flags the moment you drift โข One big total clock โ so you always know if the speech fits the slot โข Dark stage mode, adjustable text size, and the screen stays awake โข Tap either side or swipe to move โ works with a thumb, from a podium โข Finish inside your plan and the closing check turns green WHEN YOU NEED PAPER OR WANT TO SHARE โข Export a clean PDF, Word or Excel rundown of the whole speech โข Preview matches the export exactly PRICING SpeechDraft is free to try: build and write your first two speeches in full, take the first three cards on stage โ on the cue cards and the teleprompter alike โ and export a PDF with a small SpeechDraft mark. One purchase โ no subscription โ unlocks unlimited speeches, the whole speech on stage, and clean PDF, Word & Excel exports. Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac (Apple Silicon) โ start on one device and finish on another. Made by Vardnir โ in Norway.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Compass at none against SpeechDraft's 1. SpeechDraft's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
