Riverside is so intuitive and user friendly! I get nervous every time I'm logging on, but then remember I don't need to. It's also been very reliable. A win!
Riverside has become a core part of my podcast workflow. The Magic Audio feature automatically cleans up my sound after every recording — no manual noise removal needed. I also noticed that on-screen text (like logos on clothing) displays correctly and not mirrored, which alone cuts 10–15 minutes of post-editing per episode.
UI / UX
The dashboard gets me from setup to recording in under two minutes. Guests join via a browser link — no downloads, no accounts — so I've stopped losing the first 10 minutes of every session to tech troubleshooting.
Integrations
Riverside fits cleanly into my internal publishing workflow — I can get a finished recording out without jumping between multiple tools.
Performance
Because Riverside records locally on each participant's device, a bad Wi-Fi connection no longer ruins an episode. Separate audio tracks per speaker mean I can fine-tune one guest's sound without touching everyone else's.
Pricing / ROI
At $288 for the annual package, the value is clear — the time I save on audio cleanup and post-production alone justifies the cost.
Support / Onboarding
Live in-app chat handles most questions quickly. Guest onboarding is so simple I've stopped sending pre-show tech guides entirely.
AI / Intelligence
Magic Clips automatically pulls highlight moments and formats them for Reels and Shorts — content I used to skip making because it took too long. The Co-Creator feature lets me type "remove all silences" or "make a 60-second clip" and it executes instantly.
Riverside (formerly Riverside.fm) is an all-in one platform for creating studio-quality videos, webinars and podcasts, from recording and live streaming to editing, repurposing and distribution, all with the help of powerful AI.
