Riverside review

Riverside started as a remote recording studio and now covers most of a podcast workflow. Each guest is recorded locally on separate audio and video tracks, so a weak connection does not ruin the file, and Pro records up to 4K video and 48kHz audio with a teleprompter for the host. Editing is text-based, and an AI agent handles repurposing: Magic Clips, show notes, AI B-roll, eye contact correction and the removal of silences and filler words. Pro also adds podcast hosting with analytics and publishing to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Instagram and LinkedIn. It costs $24 a month billed annually, or $29 monthly, with 15 hours of separate track downloads. The Grow plan at $34 annually adds 1080p multistreaming, a newsletter, a creator website and social scheduling. The free plan is generous for calls and single-track recording but gives only 2 hours of multitrack recording once, at 720p with a watermark.
