You know the moment: 45 seconds into a perfect take, you stumble on one word and start over from the top. 1Take fixes that. 1Take is a free iPhone teleprompter app for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. It records your script one section at a time, so when you mess up mid-take you re-record only that part, not the whole video. Then it stitches the good takes into one clean clip. No watermark, no account, no nonsense. AT A GLANCE • Free to use, with an optional Pro subscription • No watermark on any export, free or Pro • No account or login required • Works fully offline; scripts and videos never leave your phone • Exports one MP4 in 1080p to your camera roll • Portrait (9:16) and landscape recording • iPhone only, iOS 18 or later • Not an AI script writer and not a video editor BUILT FOR SHORT-FORM CREATORS 1Take is a teleprompter designed around how TikToks, Reels and YouTube Shorts are actually made: in pieces, with retakes, at arm's length on your phone. Perfect for talking-head videos, UGC ads, vlogs and creator content. HOW IT WORKS • Write or paste your script. 1Take splits it into beats (hook, points, call-to-action) • Record one beat at a time, reading from a prompter right under the lens • Flubbed it? Retake just that beat. Nailed it? Keep it and move on • When every beat has a take you like, 1Take stitches them into one clean video • Save straight to Photos, ready for TikTok, CapCut or wherever you edit A PROMPTER YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ • Large, high-contrast text sized for reading at arm's length • Precision speed control with a live read-time estimate, so you're never too fast or too slow • 3-2-1 countdown before every beat • Portrait or landscape recording AN EXPORT YOU CAN TRUST • One clean MP4, full 1080p, saved to your camera roll • No watermark. Not on the free plan, not ever • Opens in Photos and imports into CapCut, every time PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your iPhone. Your scripts and videos never leave your device. No account, no login, no cloud. FREE AND PRO 1Take is free to use: the full recording loop, unlimited retakes and clean watermark-free exports, with up to 3 saved scripts and 5 exports per week. 1Take Pro removes the limits (unlimited scripts and exports) and includes every premium feature as it ships. 1Take Pro is available as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription ($4.99/month or $39.99 USD/year, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.

ReactShow

React to any video or photo and walk away with a clip that's ready to post — no editing afterwards. ReactShow records you with the front camera while a video or photos from your library play on screen. When you stop, the final file is already put together: both perfectly in sync, in the right shape for vertical short-form video. PICK YOUR LAYOUT • Split screen: you on top, the video below (or the other way around), with the divider wherever you want it. • Picture-in-picture (PiP): your camera in a small window over the video — drag it to any corner. • Background cutout: the app removes your background in real time and places you over the video. The green screen effect, without a green screen. • Dual camera: front and back cameras recording at the same time, so you can react to what's in front of you. • Switch layouts while recording: the final video repeats every change you made. RECORD WITH CONFIDENCE • Floating teleprompter: your script scrolls right next to the camera, so you keep looking at your audience. • Script library: save your scripts and reuse them anytime. • Photo slides: line up a sequence of images and comment on each one. FINISH IN SECONDS • Automatic pause removal: the app finds the silences and trims the dead air. Nothing is deleted from the original recording, so you can always undo. • 9:16, 4:5 and 16:9 formats, in 1080p or up to 4K. • Save straight to Photos and post anywhere. MADE FOR Reaction videos, news commentary, game and trailer breakdowns, product reviews, lessons, meme reactions, testimonials — any content where your face is part of the story. REACTSHOW PRO The ReactShow Pro subscription unlocks: • Real-time background cutout • Teleprompter and script library • Automatic pause removal • 4K export • No watermark Monthly and yearly plans are available, with a 1-week free trial for eligible new subscribers. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase (or when the free trial ends). The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Recording and video assembly happen right on your iPhone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReactShow at none against 1Take's 2. ReactShow also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
