We make Wellspoken, one of the apps compared here. Read our editorial policy.

Poised's homepage, checked 23 October 2026, still displays its shutdown announcement:

"Poised is shutting down on 10/8/2026 – thank you for your support over the last few years!"

The announced date was 8 October 2026, which has passed. Remaining marketing pages do not establish current service availability. We do not recommend starting a new subscription.

Start with the feature you used: feedback during a call, or a report afterward. Evaluate alternatives around that requirement.

Choose around the feedback you need

An in-call prompt needs to work with your meeting software and leave you able to concentrate on the conversation. A post-call report needs to help you identify a useful change for the next meeting. Try the actual workflow before committing.

Wellspoken: connect feedback with speaking practice

Wellspoken records real Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams calls through a macOS desktop app, separates your voice from everyone else's, and scores only you. The score is a 1,000-point index across six weighted dimensions and fifteen sub-metrics, with the full methodology and every weight published.

The practical difference from Poised is that a Poised report told you roughly how that one call went. An Index score is comparable across sessions, so you can see whether a habit is moving. Filler rate is one dimension of six and carries 150 of the 1,000 points; structure and conciseness together carry 450, which reflects where most people actually lose listeners.

It offers structured practice between meetings, including drills and AI mock interviews, so you can rehearse a change before your next conversation.

Check Wellspoken's current offer before choosing a plan. Full comparison: Wellspoken vs Poised.

If you want roleplay practice for sales or client calls: Yoodli

Yoodli is the strongest option if your speaking problem is conversational rehearsal rather than measurement. Its roleplay scenarios are its real feature, and it is priced low at $8 a month billed annually. Check the Yoodli product site for current device requirements. See Wellspoken vs Yoodli.

If you want short daily reps on a phone: Orai or Speeko

Both are mobile-first and built around short exercises rather than meeting analysis. Orai is $12 a month and leans gamified. Speeko is $29.99 a month with daily exercises and a focus on vocal delivery. Check whether the available recording and feedback workflow fits your needs. See Wellspoken vs Orai and Wellspoken vs Speeko.

Check remaining data access and billing

  1. Check whether you can still access recordings, transcripts or reports you need, and download them if available.
  2. Review subscription status through the billing provider you originally used. Keep confirmation of any cancellation.
  3. Remove calendar or meeting integrations you no longer use.
  4. Try a replacement using a speaking sample that resembles your real meetings. Check the feedback and the full plan terms before subscribing.
