Charisma Coach AI vs Orai: Which Should You Train With?
Charisma Coach AI trains more than your voice: presence, voice, body language, empathy and leadership, with on-device camera biofeedback and a daily routine. Its core training and its AI coach are free with no time limit (the coach after a short rewarded ad), and Premium is €9.99 a month. Orai focuses on how you speak, scoring filler words, pace, clarity and energy; it has no free plan beyond a 7-day trial and costs $12 a month, $49.99 a year or $149 once. Choose Charisma Coach AI for whole-presence training at no cost to start; choose Orai if you only need speech feedback, use an iPhone, or want the cheapest annual plan.

What each app actually does
Charisma Coach AI
A daily training app for personal presence. You follow a short routine, a morning intention, an exercise and a review, across five dimensions: presence, voice, body language, empathy and leadership. The front camera reads facial tension on the device to show whether you are working from a calm or a tense state, and the app records your voice and measures speaking rate, filler words and fluency. An AI coach reads your session data and tells you what to change next time: free after a short rewarded ad, with no ad in Premium. Android only.
Orai
A public speaking coach. You practise short scenarios, such as a pitch, a toast or answering a tough question, and Orai scores four things the moment you finish: filler words, pace, clarity and energy, with one concrete suggestion for next time. It is available on iPhone, Android and the web, and reports more than 500,000 downloads.

Price: free to start, and cheaper month to month
The biggest difference is how much you can do before paying anything. Charisma Coach AI's free tier is a full training system with no time limit: the daily loop, real-time biofeedback, 16 exercises that stay free, voice recording, streaks, the two-minute SOS reset and the AI coach after a short rewarded ad. Orai offers a 7-day free trial and asks for a credit card to start it.
If you pay monthly, Charisma Coach AI Premium is €9.99 against Orai's $12. Over a full year, Orai's annual plan at $49.99 is cheaper than Charisma Coach AI's €89.99, and Orai also sells a $149 lifetime licence. So: if you want to start free and pay only once you want the full library of 60 exercises and no ads, Charisma Coach AI costs less; if you already know you want a year of speech-only practice, Orai's annual plan is the cheaper commitment.
Scope: your whole presence, or your speech
Orai is a specialist: it listens to how you speak and gives precise, fast feedback on delivery. That is valuable, and for many people it is exactly the problem they want to solve.
Charisma Coach AI starts from a different idea: how you come across depends on more than your voice. Eye contact, posture, how you listen and whether you speak from a calm or a tense state all shape the impression you make. The app trains those dimensions together, and its biofeedback shows when tension is driving your delivery. The research behind each dimension is summarised in our guides to eye contact, vocal presence, body language and active listening.
Who Charisma Coach AI is best for
- People who want to work on overall presence, not only on speaking
- Anyone who wants to start training for free, without a card or a trial deadline
- People whose delivery suffers under stress and who want a calm-state routine before key moments
- Users who prefer a short daily habit to occasional practice
- Android users
Who Orai is best for
- iPhone users, since Charisma Coach AI is Android-only
- People who only want feedback on speech delivery for presentations and pitches
- Anyone ready to commit for a year, where Orai's annual or lifetime plan costs less
- Teams that need a web version
