yPrompt is the professional teleprompter for creators, speakers, and broadcasters. Whether you're recording a YouTube video, delivering a keynote, or hosting a podcast, yPrompt keeps your words flowing naturally — without anyone knowing you're reading a script. FOUR WAYS TO READ • Auto — Smooth continuous scroll at your chosen pace • Tap — Advance each line manually with a single tap • Voice — The script follows your words as you speak and waits when you pause • Timed — Auto-pace your delivery to hit a target duration every time LYRICS STYLE Every word lights up as you read, like song lyrics. Upcoming lines stay sharp, so you can always read ahead. RECORD AS YOU READ On iPhone and iPad, your script sits right under the camera, so you look straight into the lens. Or choose Audio Only to record just your voice. EDIT IN SECONDS Every take lands in the Recordings tab. Cut, trim and reorder pieces, remove the pauses between sentences, and record more right where you left off: the script carries on from your last word. Add captions spelled exactly like your script, in Lyrics or Clean style. Save videos to Photos, or share audio with its transcript and subtitles. BUILT FOR EVERY APPLE DEVICE yPrompt runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. On Mac, a floating window hovers just below your webcam — or use the notch teleprompter for a discreet readout built into your display — so you look straight into the lens while delivering every word. On iPhone and iPad, the controls step aside while you read. FULL VISUAL CONTROL Customize text size, colors, line height, text alignment, transparency, and mirror mode — per script. Your mode, speed, and text size carry over, so there's nothing to set up again. SCRIPT ORGANIZATION Write from scratch, paste any text, or import a file. Organize scripts with tags, mark favorites, and search instantly. Build play queues to run multiple scripts back-to-back — perfect for long presentations or multi-segment shoots. CUE POINTS Drop markers anywhere in a script to jump between key sections instantly during a live session. REMOTE CONTROL Control your Mac teleprompter directly from your iPhone over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Or use your Apple Watch for subtle wrist-based control during live presentations — without touching your phone. iCLOUD SYNC All your scripts sync automatically across every device signed into your iCloud account. yPrompt Free includes camera and audio recording, captions and editing, up to 3 scripts, Auto and Tap reading, preset colors, iCloud sync, and the floating window on Mac — no account required. On the free plan, videos carry a small "Made with yPrompt" mark. yPrompt Pro unlocks: • No yPrompt Mark on Videos • Voice Scroll • Lyrics Style • Timed Mode • Unlimited Scripts • Mac Notch Teleprompter • iPhone Remote • Custom Colors • All future Pro features Try the annual plan free for 7 days, choose a weekly subscription, or get Lifetime access with a single one-time purchase.

Read your script while looking straight into the lens. Cue puts your words right at the camera, so you talk to your audience - not down at your notes. Built for creators who film themselves: UGC, Founders, TikTok, Reels, Shorts, talking-head videos, and client work. RECORD WITH REAL EYE CONTACT Your script scrolls in a reading window pinned just under the front camera, so your eyes stay on the lens. No teleprompter rig, no second person, no reading-off-to-the-side look. IT FOLLOWS YOUR VOICE Cue listens as you speak and scrolls to keep pace. Pause to breathe or ad-lib, and it waits for you, then picks right back up. Prefer manual? Use auto-scroll, tap, or your volume button. NEVER START OVER AGAIN Split your script into sections and shoot each one as many times as you want. Keep the best take of every section and Cue merges them into one clean video. Flub a line and you redo that line, not the whole thing. WRITE YOUR SCRIPT IN THE APP Not sure what to say? Cue Write turns a quick idea or brand brief into a ready-to-read script - hook, body, and call to action - or spins up five scroll-stopping hooks to choose from. It runs on-device. FINISH WITHOUT LEAVING THE APP Tighten auto-removes the long pauses and dead air from a take, so your video stays snappy. Trim the top and tail, then add auto-captions burned right into your video - choose the size, position, font, and color. Save to your camera roll or share anywhere. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. Your camera, your voice, and your scripts never leave your phone. Where creators go to work.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cue at every 4 days against yPrompt's fortnightly. yPrompt's advantage is device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
