May 5, 2026 5.0 Absolutely outstanding platform. I can not begin to share how pleased I am as they are an all in one platform. I can host my podcast, edit, make shorts, have captions for IG & blogs, photos and the cherry on top was the Youtube Thumbnail. I'm so glad I listed to my friend and signed up. Referring this platform often. Pros I am blown away by the editing tools that Riverside offers. They are always improving their platform with new tools and providing value for the what you are paying for the platform. When I first signed up, their customer service won me over. They are very responsive. I am in the beginning phases of starting my podcast and a good friend had referred me to Riverside as they use it. Again, I was so impressed by how easy it was to use the platform . Once I watched a couple of videos, I was good to go. Cons I was used to editing my videos using CapCut/DaVinci Resolve. Not being able to move items on the timeline withing Riverside was an issue. They have since resolved that issue with the latest update. Alternatives considered [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) Reason for choosing Riverside Again, the learning curve with Adobe Premier Pro was steep. The price was more and my friend highly recommended Riverside. Switched from [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.capterra.com/p/209733/DaVinci-Resolve/) Very steep learning curve. Once I was able to figure it out, the price increased. Review Source MG Miranda G. President Textiles Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I use Riverside for videos and editing " March 24, 2026 5.0 LOVE it. Super happy with the ease of the program, the quality of the videos and the fact that I can edit my videos myself without it being a total time suck. Pros I love the platform as a whole. I don't even have a podcast and I'm using it to short my long form videos then have it edit for me with the AI edit features and then have it products "magic clip" short form videos for me. I recommend Riverside everyone! Cons I would love to use the b-roll clips in my videos, but have not liked any the results thus far. Too cartoony or AI and doesn't fit my aesthetics or vibe. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Riverside is so much better than ZOOM in every way. Especially when it comes to recording, editing and audio. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 29, 2026 Hi Miranda, Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that Riverside is making it easy for you to achieve high-quality results. It’s great to know that you find the platform easy to navigate and that the recording quality is meeting your standards. We’ve noted your feedback regarding the editor's speed with larger files—we’re working hard on performance optimizations to ensure your editing process is as fast and seamless as your recording sessions.

Founder Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Near Perfect Tool For Podcasting" June 12, 2026 5.0 Overall, this is one the best expenditures I have as a creator. It saves me more time than I can imagine. Pros That it covers so many needed aspects of podcasting, and even more for video podcasts and short clips for social. Cons Once in a great while I lose the high quality guest video for some reason. If I could request one thing to improve it, I’d incorporate podcast network hosting and a more thorough connection to Wordpress.

Not applicable Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Honest Review of Riverside After Nearly 2 Years" July 20, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Riverside has been excellent. I've been using the platform for about a year and a half to two years, starting at the very beginning of my podcasting journey and now continuing to use it as I expand into other content creation projects. Over that time, I've seen Riverside consistently improve the platform with helpful updates and new features that make creating content easier. I've also had a great experience with their customer support—they're responsive and quick to help whenever I've had questions. Overall, Riverside has been the best recording and editing platform I've used, and my experience has been better than with other platforms I've tried. Pros What I like most about Riverside is how easy it makes editing. I can quickly improve audio quality, export high-quality videos (up to 2K), and everything runs smoothly and fast. I also love that they're constantly adding new features, automatically creating Shorts and Reels, and making it simple to invite guests for interviews. It saves me time and makes creating content much easier. Cons Although I like the eye contact feature, I'd love to see it improve. Right now, it doesn't always accurately match or preserve the person's natural eye color, so making that feature more realistic would make it even better. Review Source MN Matthew N. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "THE ROLLERCOASTER" May 7, 2026 5.0 It's been a rollercoaster over the years where I've paid and have left, but it seems like we're in the good ol' days. Make features not just for the novelty of AI but actually being helpful. Pros As someone who's used it over the last few years, I see all the strides the company is taking to make a much better product. Before, I would stop my membership because the product couldn't make something as simple as in-picture view if I was sharing a screen while they were focusing on AI. Now it seems like they're making better features I can actually use so I feel much better about consolidating my stack. Cons I mentioned it in the pros about the biggest past cons I have, but I still find the web-based editor to be a little clunky but if it's for simple edits, I still use it. Switched from [Descript](https://www.capterra.com/p/230702/Descript/)[Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Because the features I originally wanted to use Riverside wasn't here. But now that Riverside finally caught up, I don't need them anymore. Review Source DR Delonica R. Marketing and Communications Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Riverside is the best platform for beginner podcasters!" March 25, 2026 5.0 Overall, Riverside makes developing and producing our podcast fairly simple. While editing may take some time, the additional options for producing the best version of our episodes are what make Riverside such an ideal investment. Pros I like the way Riverside makes scheduling easy for our podcast, taking out the hassle of having to send separate email notifications to all guests. I also love the reels that Riverside provides and the title and score that accompany each reel. When it comes to promoting our podcast episodes, these reels make it easier to decide what to showcase to draw our audience in. I also love how each participant has their own voice track to work with. This can help during the editing process if a miscellaneous sound needs to be removed for clarity of the conversation. Cons The editing process could use some work. There are times when changing the scene to include all the hosts and/or guests can distort the audience's view of one or more persons. Additionally, we had to scrap an entire episode because the platform cut out much of our host's interactions with a guest. While customer support tried their best to troubleshoot, the audio was lost with no rhyme or reason as to why or how things malfunctioned the way they did. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 29, 2026 Hi Delonica, Thank you for such a detailed review! We’re so happy that the guest scheduling and individual audio tracks are making your production easier. We sincerely apologize for the episode you had to scrap—that is never the experience we want for our creators. Your feedback about the scene layout distortion in the editor has been shared with our product team to help us improve the visual transitions in post-production.

You don’t need any special equipment or even special skill. You just get on there press record and get going. I know there are lots of more advanced features that some people choose to use, but I have honestly never needed them. Riverside does everything for me, including cleanup, editing, hosting and creating all my promotional materials. It’s awesome! Pros I love that the platform is all inclusive. Everything you need is in one place. Also the whole experience is so intuitive. I was always daunted by the idea of hosting a podcast but Riverside make is so easy and affordable. You feel like they genuinely want to support podcasters to create the best podcast possible! Cons Honestly, I have yet to find anything I don’t likes the whole experience has been awesome. Thanks for creating such and awesome platform. Switched from [Buzzsprout](https://www.capterra.com/p/160459/Buzzsprout/) Once Riverside started the hosting feature we haven’t needed anything else!

May 15, 2026 5.0 Overall, the experience has been great and this is definitely a platform that I recommend to all of our clients or people we encounter wanting to start a pod. Pros For me, it's the professional grade recording that Riverside allows us to do. We've used it for over three years now and have had over 50 guests and it has failed us only twice. Cons The cons have been the support team in the critical moments where we have lost footage or had to update our company email address due to a lost email account. That process was immensely hard to navigate and the time for someone to get back to us was sometimes days. Alternatives considered [Streamyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/213044/StreamYard/) Reason for choosing Riverside Riverside is more professional and a platform we are more familiar with.

June 23, 2026 5.0 Riverside delivers exactly what it promises and honestly feels inexpensive for the value I'm getting out of it. The videos and audio remains crisp, the clips it pulls are ACTUALLY GOOD. So many programs swear they can auto clip but they pull awkward ones or ones that wouldn't get much engagement. It's also very accurate with it's automatic titling and chapters. The editing tools are also great if you're looking for basic clipping. Love it. Pros I was looking for something that was "plug and play" that would preserve the quality and professionalism of the videos. Riverside provides that and more! The built-in editing features and smart clipping makes this worth way more than any other tool I've ever used. Cons I do have to provide some education to my guests on how to log in and to stay for a moment to get the video uploaded which can be a little awkward. Not many people seem to have used it before that I'm encountering, so there's a lot of education around it. I also wish it had built-in reminder emails (maybe it does and I haven't found it yet). I've been manually scheduling reminder emails to my guests to log in at XX time with log in details. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) I didn't like the audio and video quality which could be spotty depending on internet connection. Review Source TW Tonya W. IEP Coach Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An Easy Online Meeting Place!" May 21, 2026 4.0 Overall, I have been pleased with Riverside. I use it as my primary recording option for meeting with coaching clients, interviewing guests on my podcast, and for livestreaming events. Pros Riverside allows me to meet with clients in private and to record clean files during interviews. I appreciate having the opportunity to edit the individual audio files for each participant in the recording. It has been helpful when a background noise needed to be removed from one audio file and saved the interview for me! Cons The platform is limited to using specific web browsers, and this has been an issue for my guests who don't use Chrome. I've also had recording sessions where there was a lag in the video feed, and that caused my guests to get frustrated during those times. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/)[Streamyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/213044/StreamYard/) I initially switched from Zoom because Riverside offered the option to be able to have separate audio and video recordings for each participant. After the first year, the price was too much, and I switched to Streamyard, but I preferred to use Riverside and switched back when I found a discount code that helped. The price is my main restriction. Review Source JM Jeanette M. Founder and Coach Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This Platform is Worth Checking Out" May 30, 2026 5.0 I can’t say enough about how positive my experience is with Riverside. The ease of creation and editing, and the money I’m saving are incredible. Pros Riverside has been a wonderful, accidental find. Their editing capabilities are fantastic, and they are constantly up leveling the platform. I love that a fully edited product is created by their AI feature, and even better are the short form videos that are provided. Their customer support is quick, convenient, and excellent. The platform is easy to use and saves me tons of time recording and editing my podcast. I’ve been able to save hundreds because now I only need one recording and editing platform for all of my needs. Cons I’m used to editing on Adobe Premiere Pro. Riverside is missing some basic editing functionality, but they are constantly updating to improve the platform. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/)[Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/)[Loom](https://www.capterra.com/p/191187/Loom/) Because Riverside is inexpensive, easy to use, and can cover everything I used to use the other platforms for. Review Source Carolyn M. Executive Assistant Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent for Podcasting, Worth the Investment" July 28, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Riverside has been positive. The recording quality is a standout, with clean, high-resolution audio and video thanks to the local-recording approach. This makes remote interviews feel seamless even when a guest's internet isn't great. Setting up and organizing projects is also straightforward, so I'm not wasting time hunting for files or juggling messy folders between episodes. The one drawback that keeps it from being a perfect experience is the price. It's on the higher end compared to other tools in the space, which can be a tough pill to swallow if you're recording occasionally rather than using it as a core part of your workflow. That said, for anyone who podcasts regularly and values quality and ease of use, the cost has been worth it in my case. Pros Riverside really shines when it comes to podcasting. The audio and video quality are excellent. Recordings are captured locally on each participant's device and then uploaded, so you get clean, high-resolution files even if someone's internet connection is spotty. That local-recording approach makes remote interviews feel just as reliable as being in the same room, which has been a game-changer for coordinating with guests in different time zones. Project creation is also refreshingly simple. Setting up a new episode takes just a couple of clicks, and everything, recordings, assets, and participants, stays organized within each project. I don't have to hunt around for files afterward; it's all right there where I left it, which makes managing multiple episodes or a backlog of interviews much less of a headache. Cons My main gripe is the price. Riverside sits on the pricier end compared to other recording tools out there, and it can feel like a stretch if you're just starting out or recording only occasionally. It would be nice to see more flexibility in the pricing tiers for lighter users who don't need the full suite of features every month. Review Source JS Jori S. Podcast Host and Creator Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Riverside has an excellent suite of tools for easy video podcasting. " May 6, 2026 5.0 I have been very pleased. I had more than 4 years of podcasting experience before starting a podcast on Riverside. I have used it for video podcasting and hosting of a new podcast. The tools are intuitive and very useful. Pros I like the ease of recording either from mobile or on my desktop. I have been a podcaster for several years and wanted to start doing video episodes. This has been easy to learn. The editing is intuitive, uploading episodes is easy and I have been so pleased. Cons I have 2 concurrent podcasts. One audio only hosted on a different platform and this one. The only thing I wish Riverside had is more detailed analytics. Analytics are good, but with my other I can see a total of every city and every country that has downloaded an episode. I can only see a few on Riverside and I don't see where I can see those analytics for more than 12 months and I can't see cities, only countries. Review Source SV Sheldon V. Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Recording Quality, But Needs More Robust Editing Features" April 10, 2026 5.0 Overall, Riverside is a solid platform for recording podcasts and remote interviews, especially for users who prioritize simplicity and quality. It’s a good all-in-one solution, but it may require supplemental tools for more advanced editing or production needs. Pros Riverside offers high-quality audio and video recording, which is one of its biggest strengths. The local recording feature ensures that content remains clear even if internet connection drops. The platform is relatively easy to use, and having everything in one place for recording, basic editing, and exporting makes the workflow efficient. Cons There can be occasional glitches with syncing audio/video or uploading recordings, which can disrupt workflow. The editing tools are somewhat limited compared to more advanced software, and the pricing can feel high for what’s offered, especially if you need more control in post-production.

March 29, 2026 5.0 Overall i think it is a great product and I would subscribe again, I would also advise people to use the product. Pros It is fairly easy to use and it speeds up the work flow for my talking head videos tremendously. What used to take me 1 hour might take me 30 minutes now. Cons There is no bulk edits of files, for example, I would love to bulk move all of the videos from one project to another but I would have to do it one at a time - that is extremely time consuming. The mute is sometimes glitchy, if a word is muted and I want to un-mute - that doesn't always work. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) because canva workflow was extremely slow and I wanted something that would be more for talking head youtubes. Review Source Response from RiversideFM April 6, 2026 Hue, cutting your editing time in half is a great outcome, and the bulk video move request is so well articulated — we've passed it directly to the product team. The mute/un-mute glitch is also something we're actively fixing. Thanks for the specific, actionable feedback. – The Riverside Team SG Steve G.

I have complete trust and confidence in everything about the Riverside platform. I know that useful features and upgrades are always in the works. And in a couple of instances where we had some technical difficulties, the communication, support, and follow up from the Riverside staff was nothing short of amazing. Our issues were fixed and resolved quickly! Pros They make it so EASY. Everything. Recording, editing, retrieving old video, user interface. Did I mention they make everything EASY? Oh, and the price? It allows the little guy to produce a world class podcast--what a time to be alive! Cons I honestly can't think of anything I don't like about Riverside. Nothing is perfect yet Riverside is perfect for us and our podcast.

Creative Director E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use; good value for your money; great set of features." June 7, 2026 5.0 Pros I love how easy it is to just press a button and start recording. The edit functionality is great, and I think the AI features are actually helpful and not just an afterthought. Especially when wanting to start a podcast, do interviews, or make Youtube videos, I think the ability to quickly spin something up is most impressive. For the price point, I think you're getting great value for your money. Cons There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to adding music. It took me my tenth video before I learned how to add multiple tracks to the video. Now that I know, it makes sense, but the distinction between "upload" and "audio" for music wasn't straightforward. Would also like to see the UI not immediately start creating all these AI-generated clips upon completion of a video. Users will most likely want to edit the main video first -- saving bandwidth for that could be useful. Review Source R. Hunter H. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "0 to Podcaster with Riverside" March 5, 2026 5.0 Overall extremely positive. I strongly recommend the product to anyone who wants to get started with a podcast quickly. Pros I love the Magic Episodes. I'm not a professional podcaster and have never worked in media, but I was able to get started extremely quickly and I'm now closing in on episode 5. Being able to use AI to automagically edit my episodes was fantastic, as I'm not experienced in audio. The virtual studio also makes a natural space for interviewing my guests, and the transcriptions makes editing very easy. It's truly a ton of value for the money I spend on my Pro subscription. Cons The platform itself is a bit slow and buggy. I've noticed several issues with Hooks and Show Notes for example. It's still useful, but it can occasionally require some patience where the AI systems have left sharp edges. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Hunter, thank you for the 9/10! We're thrilled that Magic Episodes helped you jump from 0 to 5 episodes so quickly. We appreciate your patience as we refine our AI tools - feedback on 'sharp edges' like Hooks and Show Notes is exactly what helps our team improve. Happy podcasting! MM Michelle M.

In the beginning we were frustrated a lot. I think our own experience and confidence has helped. The reliability and easy to use interface are the best. Pros We use it for podcasting. We record two episodes a week. There are lots of options for editing. Constantly changing interface and options can be a challenge. Cons Customer service has been a struggle in the beginning when we started. We would have a full email exchange with support and the next day have to start all over -- I have used Chat GP for support bc it's easier to access.

Pros As a novice, it was easy to get up and running quickly with Riverside. The chat support and tutorial videos were helpful in coming up the recording and editing learning curve at the beginning. I also love how they are always iterating and improving the product with new features. I eventually hired an editor and am happy that I could invite her to the platform - it makes collaboration on the episodes much easier. Cons It's technology, so it's not without its minor glitches here and there. That being said, none of my episodes have ever been fatally compromised because of tech glitches.

It was recommended to me by another podcaster, and now I recommend it to others who are starting a podcast. The quality and the value for the money is certainly a top reason to choose or stay with Riverside. Pros I'm a podcaster who is admittedly not very "techy" so I like the ease of use of Riverside. The platform is very intuitive to use and if I run into questions about a certain feature, getting customer support is quick and easy too. Cons Well this is a positive/negative kinda comment -- Riverside is frequently updating their feature and capabilities. That is a positive in many ways. However, it also posing a possible negative for us non-tech savvy people that "we know how to do it this way" but now it has changed and we now have to learn a new way. Technology updates are well intended and often requested by the end users to create a better end results; but the downside to that is the continuous learning curve (often minor, but real).

The value for the money I paid each month made it very worth it! Pros I enjoyed the ease of use for the user and all the features readily available. The generation of thumbnails is the latest WOW! Cons At first I had a hard time figuring out where all the buttons were as it pertains to booking calls with guests, but after I knew where it was and they created a little reminder when it moved to a new spot, it has not been an issue again. Switched from [Descript](https://www.capterra.com/p/230702/Descript/) Riveside has more features, though some of the features in Descript I wish were easier to navigate in Riverside, the number of features overall with Riverside fit my needs more closely. Review Source Response from RiversideFM April 14, 2026 Luisa, "the latest WOW" on thumbnail generation genuinely made us smile — that feature has been a labor of love so it's great to hear it's landing that way!
