Pick by what you need
- You want it free.
- Rolltake is free with no account, and its current version records with no watermark (version 1.0 added a small mark). It doesn’t follow your voice. If you only film Reels, Instagram’s own camera has a teleprompter right below the front camera, inside the Instagram app. REGENT X has no free version.
- You film in another language.
- PromptSmart+ lists 15 VoiceTrack languages and runs recognition on the device, with a subscription and a PromptSmart account. REGENT X’s Voice Follow listens in English only.
- You want to pay once.
- Selvi is $2.99, with optional voice following on the device. PromptSmart Pro is $29.99, and its VoiceTrack is English only.
- You need iPad, Mac, Android or a browser.
- Teleprompter.com says it works on iOS, Android, macOS and the web. Speakflow runs in a browser and has apps for Mac, Windows, iPhone and iPad. Teleprompter for Video runs on iPhone, iPad and Android. REGENT X is iPhone only.
- You want editing and captions in one app.
- BIGVU and Teleprompter for Video list both. REGENT X has neither, so your takes go to Photos and you cut them in whatever you already use.
- You film landscape or 4K.
- Teleprompter for Video lists landscape, portrait and up to 4K. Teleprompter.com’s Pro plan lists 4K. REGENT X films upright at 1080p.
- You want a remote.
- Rolltake lists Apple Watch and Bluetooth remotes, and Teleprompter.com lists remote control. REGENT X has none.
- You want the script close to the lens.
- REGENT X and Rolltake both use a fixed reading line under the front camera. BIGVU says its text sits “right by the lens”, PromptSmart Pro says “next to the camera”, and Selvi has you drag its window closer. We haven’t measured the gap in any of them.
- You film TikToks, Reels or Shorts from a list of scripts.
- REGENT X is built for that. Import a pack, read just under the lens, tap Next, check each take under a drawn guide to an app’s buttons and caption, then send the takes together. It’s $9.99 a month, or $39.99 a year with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers.

Teleprompter Pro used to be called Teleprompter Premium, according to its listing. Some roundups still use the old name, and a different, newer app has a similar one. Check the name before you buy.
This isn’t every teleprompter app. Twelve App Store searches in November 2026 turned up more than 500 listings that name a teleprompter, prompter or autocue. We picked apps that kept coming up in search results and roundups, plus a couple of newer ones.
Teleprompters inside other apps
Does Instagram have a teleprompter?
Yes. In May 2026 Instagram moved its teleprompter from Edits into the main camera. The text sits “right below the front-facing camera” and you can control the speed, according to Social Media Today. It needs an Instagram account, and it’s built for filming inside Instagram.
Does CapCut have a teleprompter?
Yes, in its mobile app. CapCut’s help page says it starts on the front camera and that the desktop and web versions don’t have it. That page doesn’t state a price.
Where REGENT X is strong and weak
What it does, none of it unique to REGENT X:
- The reading line sits just under the front camera, with nothing to drag into place.
- You can paste or import a whole pack of labelled scripts, and each one lands on its shelf.
- Up next, then Next after each take, keeps you moving through a list.
- Safe-zone shading shows where TikTok, Reels and Shorts put their buttons and captions while you film, and a drawn guide does the same over a played take. Neither is saved into the video.
- You can tick several takes and save or share them together.
- There’s no account, no ads, no watermark and no REGENT X cloud.
Where it falls short:
- There’s no free version. Most apps above have a free plan or a one-time price.
- It’s iPhone only: no iPad, Mac, Android or web.
- Voice Follow listens in English only and may need an internet connection.
- It films upright at 1080p.
- It doesn’t edit, add captions or fix eye contact with AI.
- It has no remote or Apple Watch control.
- Scripts don’t sync between phones.
- It has no App Store ratings yet. It came out on November 6, 2026.
