Why Creators Are Switching from PromptSmart Pro
$12.50 Once vs $120/Year — Pays for Itself in One Month
PromptSmart Pro costs $9.99/month. That's $120/year just to keep using a teleprompter. Cancel your subscription? You lose access to everything — your scripts, your settings, your workflow.
ShareSpeak costs $12.50 once. That's barely more than one month of PromptSmart. After 5 weeks, ShareSpeak has already paid for itself. After a year, you've saved $107.50. After two years, $227.50.
Cost Over 2 Years:
- • PromptSmart Pro: $239.76 ($9.99/mo x 24 months)
- • ShareSpeak: $12.50 forever
- • You save: $227.26
AI Voice Tracking That Actually Works — No "Patented" Excuses
PromptSmart's patented VoiceTrack was impressive when it launched. The problem? It keeps breaking. App Store reviews are filled with complaints about VoiceTrack stopping mid-sentence, losing sync after iOS updates, and requiring app restarts during recordings.
ShareSpeak uses modern AI-powered speech recognition that adapts to your natural speaking pace. Pause to collect your thoughts — it waits. Speed up your delivery — it keeps up. Stumble on a word — it stays in sync. No proprietary black box, just reliable voice tracking that works every time.
Built for Desktop — Not Ported from an iPad App
PromptSmart was built for iOS first. Their Mac experience? It's essentially an iPad app running on your desktop. You get mobile-style UI, limited window management, and none of the desktop-native features you'd expect.
ShareSpeak is built specifically for desktop workflows. It integrates with your OS window management, sits on top of any app, and becomes completely invisible during screen recording. No iPad-scaled interfaces, no mobile-first compromises.
Mac, Windows, and Linux — One License, All Platforms
PromptSmart is locked to the Apple ecosystem. If you work on Windows or Linux — tough luck. Switching between a Mac at home and a Windows PC at work? You'll need a completely different teleprompter solution.
ShareSpeak runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux. One $12.50 purchase covers all your machines. Use it on your MacBook for YouTube recordings, on your Windows desktop for work presentations, on your Linux workstation for dev tutorials. Same app, same experience, everywhere.
No More "Broken After Update" Surprises
Check the App Store reviews for PromptSmart Pro. A pattern emerges: the app works fine, an iOS update drops, VoiceTrack breaks, users complain, and weeks later a patch arrives. Rinse and repeat. When you're paying $9.99/month, every broken week is money wasted.
ShareSpeak is a native desktop app that doesn't depend on mobile OS update cycles. Updates are tested before release, and because there's no subscription pressure to ship fast and fix later, stability comes first. Your teleprompter should just work when you sit down to record — not require troubleshooting.
No Account, No Cloud, No Tracking
PromptSmart Pro requires an account and syncs your scripts to their cloud. Your presentation notes, speech outlines, and video scripts — all stored on someone else's server.
ShareSpeak runs entirely offline. No account creation, no cloud sync, no analytics tracking. Your scripts stay on your machine. Download, install, use. That's it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ShareSpeak's voice tracking as good as PromptSmart's VoiceTrack?
ShareSpeak uses modern AI speech recognition that's more reliable than VoiceTrack. It handles pauses, speed changes, and stumbles naturally. Unlike VoiceTrack, it doesn't break with OS updates — it's built on stable, cross-platform speech recognition technology.
Does ShareSpeak work on iPad or iPhone like PromptSmart?
No. ShareSpeak is a desktop teleprompter for Mac, Windows, and Linux. If you specifically need an iPad teleprompter with a hardware rig, PromptSmart might still suit that use case. But if you're recording on a computer — which most screencasters and content creators do — ShareSpeak is the better choice.
Can ShareSpeak become invisible during screen recording?
Yes. ShareSpeak sits on top of your screen while you read, but becomes completely invisible to screen capture software like OBS, Loom, or Zoom screen sharing. Your viewers see a clean screen, you see your script. This is something PromptSmart simply can't do as a mobile app.
Why is ShareSpeak a one-time purchase when PromptSmart charges monthly?
Because a teleprompter is a tool, not a service. ShareSpeak runs locally on your machine — no servers to maintain, no cloud infrastructure to pay for. PromptSmart uses subscriptions because their business model relies on recurring revenue, not because the app costs $10/month to run.
Can I import my scripts from PromptSmart?
ShareSpeak accepts plain text — just copy your scripts from PromptSmart and paste them in. No special import needed. You can also load text files directly from your computer.
What if I need a teleprompter on both Mac and Windows?
One ShareSpeak license works on all platforms. Buy once, use on Mac, Windows, and Linux. PromptSmart doesn't even offer a Windows version, so if you switch platforms, you'd need a completely different app anyway.
