5 Best EasyPrompter Alternatives in 2026 (Free and Paid)
Wendy Zhang · May 20, 2026 · 8 min read
EasyPrompter does the basics well: write a script, open the prompter in any browser, push it to a second screen. It also needs an account, does not record video, and stops working when the tab reloads. These five cover the gaps.
By what they fix: Teleprompter-Scrolling Scripts is free, needs no login or internet, records 1080p up to 4K with no watermark, and keeps scripts on the device. CuePrompter is the closest like-for-like — browser, free, but no sign-in at all. Teleprompter.com adds native Android and iOS. Speakflow follows your voice instead of a timer. Elegant Teleprompter floats over the camera app on Android.
1. Teleprompter-Scrolling Scripts — read and record in one app, no sign-in
Price: free · Account: none · Internet: not needed · Modes: video, audio, reading practice · Records: 1080p, up to 4K depending on device, no watermark · Platforms: iPhone, iPad, Mac, any browser
The gap EasyPrompter leaves is recording, and this app makes recording effortless. It is very convenient: it works like opening the camera, with no login and no internet connection. On iPhone, iPad, and Mac, Camera mode uses the front camera and scrolls the script over the live preview, much like text running across the built-in camera, capturing video in the same app — no second device pointed at you, no separate recorder to sync afterwards. Scroll speed, text size, text color, and background color can all be adjusted while you record.
Where the words sit is up to you. Move the text area to the middle of the screen or tuck it right under the camera, make it larger or smaller, and set the text size and scroll speed to match how you read, so the recording looks like you talking rather than you reading.
It covers three jobs: Camera records video, Voice records audio only while the script scrolls, and Prompter shows the script full screen for reading practice or for a separate camera. Scripts are stored on the device rather than behind a login, so a dropped connection mid-take changes nothing. On desktop the Mac version handles webcam recording.
Best for: anyone who reads and records on the same iPhone, iPad, or Mac and wants to skip the account step.
2. CuePrompter — closest like-for-like, no sign-in
Account: none · Records: no · Free tier: everything · Platforms: any browser
If what you want is EasyPrompter minus the login, this is it. CuePrompter states it is "100% free for both commercial and non-commercial projects. No watermarks, no limits." Paste, set speed, start — no account step at all.
Where it stops: it does not record either, and there is no script library to come back to, since nothing is saved. It suits one-off reads rather than a repeated workflow.
3. Teleprompter.com — best cross-platform coverage
Account: required · Records: yes · Free tier: watermarked exports · Paid: $19.99/mo, or $7.50/mo billed annually · Platforms: iOS, Android, macOS, Web
Native apps on both mobile platforms plus macOS and web, with cloud script storage shared across them — the multi-screen habit EasyPrompter supports, handled by sync instead of by pushing to a remote display.
Teleprompter.com's pricing page states the free Starter plan records with a watermark and includes cloud script storage, custom fonts and colours, and remote control across iOS, Android, macOS and Web. Removing the watermark requires Pro at $19.99 per seat monthly, or $7.50 per month billed annually. It is the only option in this comparison with a native app on both mobile platforms.
Where it stops: the free tier watermarks every recording, and scripts live in the cloud, so it trades one account requirement for another.
4. Speakflow — best for unscripted delivery
Account: required · Records: no · Free tier: auto-scroll, limited voice-following, 7-day history · Paid: Plus $19/mo, Studio $129/mo
Flow follows your voice rather than a fixed WPM, so pauses and ad-libs do not leave you chasing the text. The free plan includes it in limited form; Plus makes it unlimited and adds a virtual teleprompter overlay for video calls, bookmarks, voice commands and multi-device sync.
Where it stops: the free plan keeps only 7 days of script history, and video storage is paid. Like EasyPrompter it is a delivery tool, not a recorder.
5. Elegant Teleprompter — best on Android
Account: none for local use · Records: floats over your camera app · Free tier: ad-supported · Platforms: Android (5M+ Google Play downloads)
Its floating window sits on top of the camera app, Zoom or a live stream and can be moved, resized and rotated — the closest thing to EasyPrompter's second-screen model on a single phone, using Android's draw-over-other-apps permission.
Where it stops: ads on the free tier, and the floating window is Android-only, since iOS reserves cross-app overlay for system features. The Elegant Teleprompter comparison covers the Apple side.

The one thing EasyPrompter does that none of these replace
EasyPrompter works as an OBS and vMix browser source and can push the prompter to a separate local or remote display — a laptop, a tablet, a studio monitor, a TV. That is a production-desk workflow, not a phone workflow.
If that is why it is in your setup, none of the five above is a drop-in swap; they solve recording, offline access and sign-in friction instead. Worth being clear about before switching rather than after.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EasyPrompter?
EasyPrompter is a browser-based teleprompter at easyprompter.com. You paste your script, adjust scroll speed, and read in full-screen mode. A free tier covers the basics; a PRO tier at $12.99/month (or $125/year) adds more advanced features, and an account lets you save a script library. It works on any device with a browser, including PC, Android, iPhone, and Mac. Its main limitations are no Camera mode (recording with script overlay) and no offline support.
What is a good EasyPrompter alternative for iPhone?
Teleprompter-Scrolling Scripts is a free native iPhone app with features EasyPrompter lacks: Camera mode (records video with script overlay), offline use, persistent script storage, and voice commands. Download it free from the App Store.
Can EasyPrompter record video?
No. EasyPrompter is a scroll-only browser tool. It displays the script but does not record video. To record video while reading a script on the same screen, you need Camera mode in a native app like Teleprompter-Scrolling Scripts on iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Is there a free EasyPrompter alternative for Mac?
Yes. Teleprompter-Scrolling Scripts is free on the Mac App Store. It runs natively on macOS and includes Camera mode for recording with webcam, Prompter mode for script-only display, and full offline use with local script storage.
Does EasyPrompter need an account?
Yes. EasyPrompter's site states an account is required, though installing anything is optional since it runs in any browser. CuePrompter is the closest alternative with no sign-in at all, and the native app in option 1 stores scripts on the device without an account.
Which alternative works as an OBS browser source?
None of the five replaces that directly. EasyPrompter works as an OBS and vMix browser source and can push the prompter to a separate display, which is a production-desk workflow. The alternatives here solve recording, offline access and sign-in friction instead.
Can I use an EasyPrompter alternative offline?
Only the native apps. Teleprompter-Scrolling Scripts stores scripts on the device and runs without a connection; Elegant Teleprompter works offline on Android. Browser-based tools including EasyPrompter and CuePrompter need a connection to load, though they keep scrolling once open.
Wendy ZhangWendy Zhang is the indie developer behind Teleprompter-Scrolling Scripts, which she built after cycling through teleprompter apps that were too heavy, too expensive, or dependent on a network connection to open. She writes about the mechanics of recording yourself — scroll pacing, script formatting, and the app decisions that decide whether a take survives.
