PromptSmart is the only “smart” teleprompter app. Our patented VoiceTrack™ speech recognition technology is revolutionary because it provides a robust solution to automatically follow a speaker's voice in real time. Make your video productions less stressful and more efficient. VoiceTrack™ is a powerful and smart prompting tool that will automatically start and stop at the speaker's natural pace, allowing you to focus on other production values rather than film take after take trying to match a pre-set scroll speed to the speaker's cadence. Save time, energy, and keep your talent focused with PromptSmart. Other teleprompter apps fall short--relying on clunky hardware or pre-set scrolling speeds. We asked tens of thousands of users what they liked most about our prompter app, and over 90% of respondents said "VoiceTrack," calling it "awesome," "astonishing," "tremendous," “easy to use,” a “game changer”—“absolutely brilliant!!!” Our customers tell our story best and PromptSmart products are the highest rated and most frequently rated teleprompter apps in the App Store. PromptSmart is also an invaluable tool for anyone that engages in regular public speaking, like clergy, educators, politicians, podcasters, audiobook creators, or business leaders. Our prompter apps are useful as a practice tool or to help keep you on-message at live speaking engagements. If you’re on a budget or trying to film videos by yourself, there is no better companion than the PromptSmart teleprompter app because VoiceTrack starts and stops at your natural pace.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Frame.io at Free against PromptSmart Pro's $29.99. Frame.io also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (50% vs 27%). PromptSmart Pro's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 892) and chart position (#8 vs unranked). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PromptSmart Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PromptSmart Pro has 11K ratings behind it against 892, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of PromptSmart Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of Frame.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PromptSmart Pro ships an update every 6 weeks, Frame.io fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
