Speakflow alternative: SocialAI vs Speakflow
Speakflow and SocialAI both offer a teleprompter in the browser that follows your voice. On Speakflow's free plan you need an account, voice scrolling is limited to 2-minute takes, and recording and remote control are paid. SocialAI's online teleprompter is free with no account and no time limit, and includes webcam recording. Speakflow offers more for teams: cloud scripts, remote control, AI writing tools and a desktop app.
Disclosure: we make SocialAI. Everything about Speakflow on this page comes from Speakflow's own website or app listing, checked on 2 October 2026(sources at the end). Prices and features change, so check their site before you decide.

How to switch
- Copy your script text from Speakflow, or keep it in a Word, PDF or text file.
- Open the SocialAI teleprompter, paste it in or press Import file.
- Press Start and allow the microphone. Read out loud; the text follows you. Or press Play to scroll at a steady speed.
Reading on video calls? A browser tab can't stay on top of a full-screen meeting. See the Zoom, Meet and Teams setup, or SocialAI Prompter for Mac (private beta), which keeps your script in a strip under the webcam.
Frequently asked questions
Is Speakflow free?
Speakflow has a free plan that needs an account. On it, voice scrolling (Flow) is limited to 2-minute takes, and recording and remote control need the Plus plan, which is $19 a month or $15 a month billed yearly (checked 2 October 2026).
Does SocialAI limit voice tracking?
No. Voice tracking in the SocialAI online teleprompter is free and unlimited in Chrome, Edge and Safari, with no account.
Does Speakflow have a desktop app?
Yes, for Mac and Windows, in beta and included with paid plans. SocialAI's Mac app is in a private beta, with testers invited from a waitlist.
Which is more private?
Neither runs speech recognition entirely on your device in the browser. Speakflow says it may use external speech services. SocialAI's online teleprompter uses your browser's speech recognition, and in Chrome that audio goes to Google; SocialAI never receives it. Your script stays in your browser.
