Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Duo at 80% against Teleprompter's 12%. Duo also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Teleprompter's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 31 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Teleprompter holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Teleprompter has 3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Duo's written reviews are positive against 12% of Teleprompter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Duo ships an update every 31 months, Teleprompter fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
