Confidant vs BIGVU
BIGVU is a mobile-first video studio: teleprompter, AI script writer, captions, an AI Twin and scheduled posting. Confidant is a Mac and browser teleprompter built around one job: helping business owners who freeze on camera research, write and record short videos in their own voice.
Short answer. Pick BIGVU if you record mostly on your phone and want editing, AI avatars and auto-posting in the same app. Pick Confidant if you work on a Mac, freeze when the camera turns on, and need help with what to say before you worry about effects.
