Key features

Local recording up to 4K

Each participant is recorded on their own device in up to 4K video and 48 kHz audio, then uploaded, so connection drops don't ruin quality.

Separate tracks

Download individual audio and video tracks for every participant, with 15 to 25 hours of separate-track downloads a month on Pro to Webinar.

Text-based AI editor

Edit video by editing the transcript, remove silences and filler words, and add AI B-roll or eye-contact correction.

Magic Clips and AI Co-Creator

Turn a long recording into short social clips, show notes, posts, thumbnails and headlines with AI.

Podcast hosting

Publish episodes to YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other platforms with built-in analytics from the Pro plan.

Live streaming and webinars

Grow adds full HD multistreaming to unlimited destinations, and Webinar adds registration, Q&A, polls and reminders for up to 100 registrants.

Use cases

  • Record a video podcast with guests in three countries and edit it by deleting lines from the transcript.
  • Cut a one-hour interview into vertical Magic Clips for Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn.
  • Stream a live Q&A to YouTube and LinkedIn at once, then repurpose the recording as an episode.

What is Riverside?

Riverside, formerly known as Riverside.fm, is a browser-based studio for recording conversations with remote guests. Instead of capturing a compressed video call, it records each person locally and uploads the files, which keeps audio and video clean even on unstable connections.

What changed

Riverside has dropped its permanent free plan. New users now start with a 14-day trial of a paid plan, and the company’s own guide, updated in September 2026, confirms that no free tier remains.

Who it’s for

Podcasters and YouTube interview shows get the most from Pro. Creators who also stream, send newsletters or run a website fit Grow, and B2B marketing teams hosting webinars need the Webinar plan.

Limitations

  • The trial needs a credit card and converts to a paid plan automatically.
  • Separate-track downloads are capped each month below Business.
  • Extra editors cost more on Pro, Grow and Webinar, and collaborative editing is Business-only.
  • Some AI features consume credits that must be topped up.
