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.

mono+ is a camera app built around analog film simulation. Every photo and video passes through a real-time render pipeline — grain, halation, tonal warmth, shadow lift — baked permanently into every capture. Not a filter applied after the fact. A look built into the image itself. 27 FILM SIMULATIONS Ten B&W modes, ten film stock emulations from Kodak Tri-X to CineStill 800T, and seven vintage processes including Super 8, VHS, and Daguerreotype. Each one built from the real characteristics of the film it references. THE PRO PANEL A floating glass overlay with six categories of precision controls. Tone, color grading, decay effects, borders, overlays, and settings — all accessible without leaving the viewfinder. Drag it anywhere on screen. Every slider updates the render pipeline in real time. SAVED LOOKS Build your signature look across filter, grain, tone, color, decay, and border. Save it with a name. Recall everything with a single tap. Your visual library, always at hand. DECAY AND DEGRADATION Light leaks, halation bloom, film burn, dust, scratches, gate weave, color bleed, and fade — each independently controllable. Zero by default. As much or as little as the image needs. VIDEO All film simulation renders in real time during video recording. Every frame processed at full resolution. What you see in the viewfinder is what gets saved. TELEPROMPTER Built-in scrolling script overlay for video recording. Your audience sees you. You see your words. Paste any script, set your speed, hit record. HUD A recording heads-up display with timecode, battery level, date, GPS coordinates, and your film ID — baked into video captures. SYSTEM PRESETS Four complete looks to start from — STREET, PAPARAZZI, POP, and FADE. Tap to apply, modify anything, save as your own. DESKTOP COMPANION Manage your preset library from your Mac or iPad. Build looks with the full lab editor, send custom borders, compose teleprompter scripts. Tap SHARE LOOKS on iPhone — your presets arrive in the Companion automatically via iCloud. Edit and send back with one click. Free with mono+.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: mono+ at 100% against PromptSmart Pro's 28%. mono+ also leads on price ($3.99 vs $29.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). PromptSmart Pro's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 2) and chart position (#11 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
