Good Take vs InShot
Which is better for talking-head Reels? Written September 6, 2026.
InShot is a mobile video editor for trimming, music, text, stickers, filters, and aspect-ratio changes. It is free with a watermark and ads, and a Pro subscription removes them.
Good Take is an iPhone teleprompter and video recorder for talking-head videos. Its prompter follows your voice and waits when you pause. After recording, it removes filler words in one tap, burns in word-by-word captions, and lets you edit the video by editing the transcript. Everything runs on the phone: no account, no upload. It is free to start with three Pro Passes a month, and Good Take Pro is $47 a year.
The short version: choose InShot when the job is quick edits of phone video for social. Choose Good Take when the job is recording yourself talking and getting it right in one take, on the phone, with nothing uploaded.

Choose InShot if
- You need to resize, trim, add music, and post, and the footage is already good.
- You edit lots of non-talking video: travel, product, food.
Choose Good Take if
- The problem is the recording itself: losing your place, retakes, filler words.
- You want captions generated from what you actually said, word by word.
- You want the whole thing done on the phone with nothing uploaded.
