Pay once, not every month

Most teleprompter apps bill monthly, which means you keep paying whether you record every day or twice a quarter. Lumi offers a straightforward alternative: a one-time purchase of $27 for lifetime access. Buy it once and it's yours — no renewals, no rising plan tiers.

If you'd still prefer to spread the cost, the $9/mo subscription is there too. Either way you start with a 3-day free trial and no credit card up front.

You don't give up features to skip the subscription

  • Voice-following scroll. FlowPrompt moves the script at your pace — included in the one-time license.
  • Built-in recorder. Prompter and video capture in one app.
  • Invisible on calls. Meeting Mode keeps your script off shared screens on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.
  • Mac, Windows & web. Native macOS and Windows apps, plus an online version.

When the one-time purchase makes sense

If you record with any regularity — a YouTube channel, weekly lessons, sales demos, client videos — the lifetime license usually costs less than a few months of a subscription and then never charges again. For occasional use, the monthly plan keeps things flexible. Both unlock the same features; see the one-time purchase details or compare tools on the best teleprompter apps roundup.

Frequently asked questions

Which teleprompter can I buy without a subscription?+
Lumi. It offers a one-time purchase at $27 for lifetime access, so there's no recurring fee. You still get voice-following scroll, a built-in recorder, saved scripts, and call invisibility. There's also a $9/mo subscription if you'd rather pay monthly, and a 3-day free trial either way.
Is there a teleprompter with a one-time payment instead of monthly fees?+
Yes — Lumi's lifetime license is $27 paid once, versus $9/month on the subscription. If you record regularly, the one-time purchase pays for itself in a few months and then it's yours with no more charges.
Does the no-subscription teleprompter still have voice control?+
Yes. The one-time purchase includes the full feature set, including FlowPrompt voice-following scroll — you're not buying a stripped-down version. A pay-once license and voice control aren't a trade-off with Lumi.
Is a no-subscription teleprompter good for business or agency use?+
It can be a better fit than a subscription. A one-time license means predictable cost with no renewals to manage, and it works for sales teams, course creators, and agencies recording regularly. Lumi runs on macOS, Windows, and the web, and stays invisible on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls.
Does buying without a subscription mean my scripts are stored securely?+
Your scripts and settings are saved so you don't re-paste every session, and paying once doesn't change how they're handled. See Lumi's privacy and terms for the specifics on data handling.
Why do most teleprompter apps use subscriptions?+
Recurring revenue is simpler for the vendor, so many teleprompter apps default to monthly or annual plans. The downside for you is paying indefinitely for a tool you may use in bursts. A one-time purchase like Lumi's lifetime license removes that ongoing cost.
