Speeko Alternatives: Which Public Speaking App Is Right for You?
Keep Speeko if its short daily exercises and voice analysis suit you. If you want cheaper solo analysis, Orai's plans cost less as of October 2026. If you want realistic practice where someone talks back, try Speaking Coach or Yoodli. For interviews, Huru is free. For small talk and personal conversations rather than speeches, Speaking Coach has built-in scenes for those.
What Speeko offers, as of October 2026
Speeko's site describes an AI speech coach with real-time voice tracking and "simple, friendly alerts", analysis of pace, filler words, intonation, sentiment, talk time and word choice, and personalized exercises of about two minutes a day. Its toolkit includes digital notecards, interview prompts, vocal warm-ups and content from voice coach Roger Love. It also offers 1:1 work with a coach and links to a live coaching page. It runs on iOS, macOS, Android and the web.
Its subscriptions page listed $29.99 a month, an annual plan at $8.33 a month with a 7-day free trial, and $299.99 lifetime. The free tier offers basic insights.
People usually look elsewhere for one of four reasons. We make Speaking Coach, which fits some of them, and we say plainly where other tools fit better.

| Less course content, more realistic practice | Speaking Coach, Yoodli | A partner that reacts to what you say | Speaking Coach: subscription. Yoodli: 5 free sessions, then from $8/month billed annually |

| More voice work, not less | Vocal Image | Pitch, tone, articulation and breathing drills | Subscription; App Store lists several plans |
Less course, more realistic practice
Exercises build skills one at a time. Real speaking is messier: someone asks a question you didn't plan for, or looks bored, or pushes back. If you've done the drills and still feel unready, you need practice that reacts.
Speaking Coach (ours) gives you an AI voice partner who plays the other side: your audience, an interviewer who has read your CV, a manager, a customer or a stranger at a party. It follows up on what you said. Afterwards you see your pace, fillers, long pauses and how quickly you started, with tips that quote your words, and you can retry the one moment that went wrong for 90 seconds. There's a daily 30-second speaking prompt if you like Speeko's daily-habit side.
Yoodli offers AI roleplays and audiences in the browser, with simulated Q&A after a presentation. It's strongest if you practice at a desk.
A cheaper option
If you like Speeko's analysis and don't need the coaching content, Orai is the most direct, cheaper swap: its App Store listing describes feedback on fillers, pace, clarity, energy, confidence and conciseness, at $12.99 a month or $49.99 a year (English only, as of October 2026). For presentations, PowerPoint Speaker Coach is free in preview. For a single quick check, our free pace checker and filler word counter need no account.
Interviews and small talk instead of speeches
Speeko's focus is public speaking. If your real dread is a job interview or walking up to strangers, practice that directly.
- Interviews: Huru (free AI interviewer with follow-ups) or Speaking Coach (uses your CV and the job post, with a 5-session plan for your interview day).
- Small talk: Speaking Coach's scenes include "Meet someone new", "Keep a conversation going", "Chat at the coffee machine", "Work the room" and "First date". Our guide to networking events gives you lines to try.
When to stay with Speeko
- You enjoy short guided exercises and vocal warm-ups.
- Real-time alerts while you speak help you more than a report afterwards.
- You value the voice coaching content and the option of a human coach.
