Avocado runs on Mac, iPhone and iPad, with an Apple Watch remote, and one Pro subscription covers all of them on the same Apple Account. Moody sells its Mac app and its iPhone app separately, and the iPhone app doesn't run on iPad.
Moody's Mac app is $39 with no free mode, and its iPhone app stops after 10 free recordings. Avocado's free version has no time limit, no script length limit and no watermark: the full prompter, notch and floating modes, invisibility, cues and Mirror Text.
Avocado is the only teleprompter that Claude, Cursor or Codex can write into. Ask for a draft, a tighter version or a new section, and it lands in your script library, ready to read.
On iPhone, the volume buttons start a take, it stops a beat after your last line, and Trim Silence and Cut Pauses tidy it in one tap. On Mac, Recording Studio records, trims and exports takes from the same window as your script.
Moody's remote is its own iPhone app. Avocado's Director Mode works in any phone's browser, so a producer can play, pause and jump between sections without installing anything, and the Viewer shows the script on up to five devices in sync.
Session receipts, run-over-run rehearsal history, a weekly recap and on-device Delivery Coaching. Scrolling text is solved; knowing your pace drifted in the third paragraph is not.
An honest take
Both apps put a script by the camera and scroll it as you speak. Avocado does it in one app on Mac, iPhone and iPad, starts free with no recording limit, and adds what Moody doesn't have: an Apple Watch remote, one-tap pause cutting, AI agent access, five-screen prompting and rehearsal feedback.
Avocado is one teleprompter on Mac, iPhone and iPad, with a free version that never expires and one Pro plan for every device. Moody is two separate products: a $39 Mac notch prompter that needs macOS 15, and an iPhone app sold by subscription. Both scroll by voice and hide from screen shares on Mac. Avocado adds an Apple Watch remote, one-tap pause cutting, AI agent access, prompting on up to five devices and rehearsal history.
No. Moody for Mac is a $39 one-time purchase with no free mode. Moody Teleprompter for iPhone is a free download with 10 free recordings, then $9.99 a month, $59.99 a year or $149.99 lifetime. Avocado is free with no time limit, and Pro is $7.99 a month or $79.99 a year for Mac, iPhone and iPad together.
Moody Teleprompter runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Its App Store listing is iPhone only, so there's no iPad version. <a href="/ios">Avocado</a> runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later, and on Apple Watch as a remote.
Yes. Avocado's Floating Mode is a window you can put under any webcam, on any Mac or external display, with the same screen-share invisibility, on macOS 14 or later. Moody also has a floating window and works on iMacs and external monitors, but it needs macOS 15.
Avocado. On iPhone it records with the script under the lens, stops a beat after your last line and cuts the pauses in one tap, and an Apple Watch starts the take from across the room. On Mac, adaptive speed learns your pace and the Focus Guide keeps your place, and rehearsal history shows whether take four was better than take one.
