ShareSpeak vs SpeakFlow: Which Teleprompter Fits You?
ShareSpeak and SpeakFlow solve different problems. ShareSpeak is a one-time $12.50 desktop teleprompter that stays invisible on screen share and does that one job well. SpeakFlow is a subscription web suite — teleprompter plus AI writing, recording, and team workspaces (free / $15-mo Plus / $99-mo Studio). Pick ShareSpeak for an invisible prompter without a subscription; pick SpeakFlow for an all-in-one browser workflow.

Choose ShareSpeak if…
you want a one-time price ($12.50 vs $180/yr), you present or record and need the script invisible on screen share, and you already record with OBS, Loom or Zoom.
Choose SpeakFlow if…
you want an all-in-one web suite — AI script writing, built-in recording, collaboration and client workspaces — with a usable free tier and nothing to install.
Either works if…
you just need voice-following scroll to read a script on your own screen and you're not sharing that screen with an audience.

How they compare in real workflows
Presenting or recording with screen share
This is the clearest split. ShareSpeak is hidden from screen capture at the OS level, so OBS, Zoom, Loom and Teams record a clean screen while you read. SpeakFlow doesn't claim screen-capture invisibility — whether you use its browser tab or its desktop overlay, the teleprompter shows up when you share your screen. If your audience shouldn't see you reading, that's the deciding factor.
Writing and recording in one place
This is SpeakFlow's turf. It's a full web workflow — AI writing tools, built-in video recording (1 hour on Plus, 10 on Studio), unlimited script history, real-time collaboration and an API. ShareSpeak deliberately does one thing: the invisible, voice-following prompter. It doesn't write or record for you; it pairs with the recorder you already use.
Cost over time
ShareSpeak is $12.50 once. SpeakFlow Plus is $15/month billed yearly — $180 a year, so roughly $360 over two years and climbing. If you need the suite (writing, recording, teams), the subscription can earn its keep; if you only need a teleprompter that disappears on screen share, the one-time price wins comfortably.
Where SpeakFlow genuinely beats ShareSpeak
We make ShareSpeak, so here's the honest other side. SpeakFlow wins in real ways:
- It's an all-in-one suite. AI writing tools, built-in video recording, unlimited script history and an API mean you can write, prompt and record without leaving the app. ShareSpeak is just the prompter.
- Team features. Studio's client workspaces and 25 member seats suit agencies and teams. ShareSpeak is a single-user desktop app.
- Free tier and zero install. You can start free in any browser on any OS — including a Chromebook or Linux — and sync scripts across devices. ShareSpeak has no free tier and is a native download.
If a web content suite is what you want, SpeakFlow is a strong choice. If you want an invisible prompter that pairs with your existing recorder for a one-time price, that's ShareSpeak.
Try ShareSpeak — $12.50, one-time
Invisible on screen share, voice-following, native on Mac and Windows, and no subscription. If you'd rather have a full web suite with recording and teams, SpeakFlow's free tier is a fine place to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ShareSpeak or SpeakFlow better?
They aim at different jobs. ShareSpeak is a one-time $12.50 desktop teleprompter that's invisible on screen share and does that one thing well. SpeakFlow is a subscription web suite — teleprompter plus AI writing, video recording, collaboration and team workspaces — with a usable free tier. Choose ShareSpeak if you want an invisible prompter without a subscription; choose SpeakFlow if you want an all-in-one browser workflow.
How much does SpeakFlow cost compared to ShareSpeak?
SpeakFlow has a free plan, then Plus at $15/month billed yearly ($180/year) and Studio at $99/month billed yearly for teams. ShareSpeak is $12.50 as a one-time purchase — no subscription — and that covers both Mac and Windows. Over a single year, ShareSpeak costs less than one month of SpeakFlow Plus.
Is SpeakFlow invisible during screen sharing?
SpeakFlow does not claim to hide from screen capture. Whether you run it as a browser tab or its desktop overlay, the teleprompter appears when you share or record your screen. ShareSpeak is hidden from screen capture at the operating-system level, so it stays out of Zoom, Meet, Teams, Loom and OBS — that's the main reason screencasters pick it.
Does SpeakFlow have a free plan?
Yes. SpeakFlow's free plan includes the teleprompter, auto-scroll, a limited version of its voice-activated Flow, script editing, and 7-day script history — no credit card required. ShareSpeak has no free tier, but it's a one-time $12.50 rather than a recurring cost, so it's cheaper within the first year if you use it regularly.
Do both teleprompters follow your voice?
Yes. SpeakFlow's Flow and ShareSpeak's AI voice-follow both scroll the script as you speak instead of at a fixed speed. ShareSpeak also lets you choose the speech engine (Apple Speech Recognition, local Whisper, or Gemini), which helps on Intel Macs and for multi-language recognition.
Can I switch from SpeakFlow to ShareSpeak?
Yes. Your scripts are plain text, so copy them out of SpeakFlow and paste each into a new entry in ShareSpeak's Scripts Library — no import tool or account needed. For a switch-focused walkthrough and the full pricing breakdown, see our SpeakFlow alternative page.
