What is Riverside?
Riverside (riverside.com, formerly Riverside.fm) is a browser-based studio for recording podcasts and video with remote guests. It records each participant's audio and video as separate tracks and includes AI editing, transcription and clip tools.
Who it's for
Podcasters and video creators who record remote interviews. Higher tiers add live streaming, webinars and team features for businesses.
Pros & cons
Strengths
- Records up to 4K video and 48 kHz audio on paid plans
- Records separate audio and video tracks per participant
- AI tools on Pro include text-based editing, filler-word and silence removal, audio enhancement, show notes and Magic Clips
- Pro and higher plans export without a Riverside watermark
- A 14-day free trial is offered on paid plans
Limitations
- Riverside's own pages disagree on whether a Free plan still exists: the pricing pages list one (720p, watermark), while a help article dated September 2026 says it was discontinued
- Separate-track recording hours differ by plan, and the pricing pages give inconsistent figures for them
- Live streaming and multistreaming start on the Grow plan, not Pro
- Webinar plans cost more, and Business is quoted through sales

Riverside's pricing pages carried a staging-environment notice and contradicted each other on plan names, recording hours and the Free plan, so confirm details on the live page before buying.
