Same Concept, Better Execution, No Subscription
$12.50 Once vs $180/Year — Do the Math
VODIUM costs $15/month. That's $180 every year for a teleprompter overlay. Cancel? You lose access entirely. Every month you're essentially renting a text scroller.
ShareSpeak costs $12.50 once. That's less than one month of VODIUM. After 4 weeks, ShareSpeak has already paid for itself. After a year, you've saved $167.50. After two years, $347.50.
Cost Over 2 Years:
- • VODIUM: $360 ($15/mo x 24 months)
- • ShareSpeak: $12.50 forever
- • You save: $347.50
AI Voice Tracking vs Scrolling and Hoping for the Best
VODIUM gives you two options: set a fixed auto-scroll speed and hope you keep pace, or manually scroll with a mouse/keyboard while presenting. Both break your flow. You're either rushing to match the scroll or fumbling with controls during a live call.
ShareSpeak follows your voice. Speak naturally, and the text moves with you. Pause to answer a question from your audience — it waits. Speed through a familiar section — it keeps up. Go off-script for a minute — pick up where you left off. No fixed speed to wrestle with, no manual scrolling to distract you.
Actually Invisible — Not Just an Overlay
VODIUM is a visible overlay that sits on top of your screen. It works for Zoom calls where you're showing your face, but the moment you share your screen or record a tutorial, the overlay is captured too. VODIUM also has a known issue where PowerPoint presentations push the overlay behind, making it disappear when you need it most.
ShareSpeak is invisible to screen capture at the OS level. Share your screen on Zoom, record with OBS, stream on Twitch — your viewers see a clean screen while you see your script. It's not just an overlay that sits on top; it's engineered to be undetectable by recording software.
You Don't Need Enterprise Pricing for a Teleprompter
VODIUM positions itself as an enterprise tool with per-seat pricing, bulk licensing, and IT-friendly deployment. That's great if your company is buying 50 licenses. But if you're an individual creator, freelancer, or small team, you're paying enterprise margins for a tool that scrolls text.
ShareSpeak is built for individual creators. No per-seat licensing, no enterprise sales calls, no procurement process. Buy it, download it, use it. The same professional-grade teleprompter experience without the corporate price tag.
Mac, Windows, and Linux — One License Covers All
VODIUM supports Mac and Windows, but no Linux. If you work across different operating systems — a MacBook for creative work and a Linux workstation for development — you're out of luck with VODIUM on one of those machines.
ShareSpeak runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux. One $12.50 purchase covers every platform. Use it wherever you work, without buying separate licenses or worrying about compatibility.
No Account, No Subscription Management
VODIUM requires an account, a payment method on file, and active subscription management. Forget to cancel? You're billed again. Change your credit card? Update it in VODIUM too. It's another subscription to track in a world of subscription fatigue.
ShareSpeak needs no account. No login, no password, no subscription to manage or cancel. Buy it once, download the app, use it forever. One less subscription cluttering your credit card statement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ShareSpeak work with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet like VODIUM?
Yes. ShareSpeak overlays on top of any application — Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, WebEx, or anything else. The difference is ShareSpeak also becomes invisible when you share your screen, so your audience only sees your presentation, not your teleprompter.
VODIUM lets me upload Word docs and PDFs. Can ShareSpeak do that?
ShareSpeak works with plain text — paste your script directly or load a text file. For Word docs and PDFs, just copy the text and paste it in. Most presenters write scripts in Google Docs or Notion anyway, so copy-paste is the natural workflow.
Does ShareSpeak have the PowerPoint overlay issue that VODIUM has?
No. VODIUM has a known problem where PowerPoint pushes the overlay behind the presentation, making it invisible when you need it. ShareSpeak uses OS-level window management to always stay on top — regardless of what application is in the foreground.
Why doesn't VODIUM have voice tracking?
VODIUM relies on fixed-speed auto-scroll or manual scrolling. ShareSpeak uses AI speech recognition to follow your natural pace. This means you never have to pre-set a scroll speed or manually adjust during a live presentation — the teleprompter adapts to you, not the other way around.
Is ShareSpeak suitable for enterprise teams?
ShareSpeak is designed for individual creators and small teams. If you need centralized billing, IT deployment, and user management for 50+ people, VODIUM's enterprise plan may suit that. But if you're an individual or small team tired of paying $15/user/month, ShareSpeak is the smarter choice.
What happens if I cancel VODIUM and switch to ShareSpeak?
Buy ShareSpeak ($12.50), download it, copy your scripts over, and cancel your VODIUM subscription. You'll have a better teleprompter with voice tracking, and you'll save $15/month going forward. The switch takes about 2 minutes.
