Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great when it works awful when you have issues seeking support" June 9, 2025 2.0 Solid tool for the times it works as expected. But for the times it doesn't it can be tough to get the help needed to address your concerns. Best not to rely on support for more than shared links for you to figure it out on your own. Pros It's great when it works because it can cut down on a lot of edit time. What could take me hours to pull together clips it can be created in minutes. Cons The support team responses are awful when you run into an issue. There's a default it's not us it's you type response which can be gaslighting when you know it's not user error.

CEO Owner Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "easiest editing software" March 15, 2026 5.0 Pros Riverside made producing a podcast and creating video content easier than I could have ever imagined. The price helps a lot Cons I have to learn a new platform and spend time learning all the tricks of using the software. It was difficult to find one video to do it all as well.

Trainer Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "All-in-One Platform for Recording and Marketing Videos" February 24, 2026 5.0 Overall, I’ve had a positive experience. The editing tools let me produce and edit my own podcasts and reels without hiring outside editors, saving time and money. Pros There’s a learning curve, particularly around creating carousels with stills or short videos. More tutorials would be helpful. Cons There is a learning curve, particularly when creating carousels. Additional step-by-step tutorials or clearer guidance for newer features would be helpful. I am still unable to create still image videos. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Yogi, thank you for the 10/10! We love hearing that our tools are helping you produce professional podcasts and reels without the need for outside editors.

" March 3, 2026 5.0 It's allowed me to expand my podcast by bringing on guests I could not otherwise interview in the quality I expect for my product. I feel it is priced very appropriately and affordable for a smaller podcast like mine. Also, my editor likes working with the files produced and it gives her the ability to manipulate the audio as needed. Pros Riverside is very easy to use, and the quality of the end product is excellent. I've used another product in the past, and Riverside is definitely a step up over that. I use it to remotely interview people for my podcast in both the US and abroad, and it always works seamlessly. Cons A few times I have had a question, and I sometimes feel that the help section doesn't address my question. However the online support is great. Switched from [Descript](https://www.capterra.com/p/230702/Descript/) Initially because of Riverside's link to Spotify, but after using it and hiring an editor, we both preferred the features of Riverside. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Michele, thank you for the 10/10! It’s wonderful to hear that Riverside helped you expand your guest list globally and provided the file quality your editor needs. We’re glad our online support team was able to help when the help section fell short-we're always here for you! AO Anthony O. Managing Partner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Newby guide to great podcasts" March 18, 2026 5.0 No complaints, getting the podcast edited in a timely manner would be helpful. We learned the simple part is the podcast, moving past that is not that easy Pros ease of use, I am new to podcasting, and I found it easy to arrange and set up a podcast. the simple video's helped alot Cons It really isn'the least liked. Editing seems difficult. if there was someone we could hire to educate us, along with thevideo'sit would help. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 23, 2026 Welcome to the world of podcasting, Anthony! We’re so glad our video guides helped you get started. We understand that moving from recording to editing is a big step—we are currently working on more educational resources to help "newbies" bridge that gap even faster. PP Phil P. Host Wine and Spirits Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Our Experience with Riverside.fm" February 25, 2026 5.0 This is a product I would recommend to others. You do need some creative work arounds for things like multiple hosts in the same space, but once you do, it's super easy. Pros I' enjoyed how easy it is to make clips that are ready or near ready for my social media distribution. The automatic transcription is incredibly helpful as well. Cons You must have a strong internet connection since most of this is in the cloud. The connection and processing can, at times, take longer than I sometimes have the patience for. Alternatives considered [Opus Clip](https://www.capterra.com/p/10006559/Opus-Clip/) Reason for choosing Riverside Pricepoint and the availability of the features, especially transcription and autoclipping. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Phil, thanks for the great review! We’re so glad our autoclipping and transcription tools are making your social media distribution easier. We appreciate the feedback regarding internet speeds and the 'creative workarounds' for multiple hosts in one space—insights like yours are exactly what help us prioritize our future updates. Cheers!

Social Media Manager and Podcaster Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Riverside is a helpful podcasting tool" August 7, 2025 4.0 Overall it has been a positive experience. I have learned to work around the issues. And like I said it has improved within the past year. Editing has become smoother. Adding songs has become easier and I like that they have added ways to lower the sound and fade in and out of songs. Pros It's easy to record and edit videos within Riverside. Also it does create Magic Clips for us that I edit to become teasers. Cons Riverside has improved since I started using it a year ago but it still lacks the ability to put fancy transitions between scenes. One of the reasons why I edit our podcast episodes in another app and then transfer it back to Riverside. Sometimes when I correct something it doesn't stick so I have correct it again. It can be glitchy. Sometimes there's a lot of buffering I wish there was a way to edit words I mispronounce easier. Review Source SP Sean P. Host Online Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love Riverside!" March 19, 2026 5.0 Pros High quality and easy to use. Great and intuitive interface. I was able to produce a very professional looking video with minimal effort. Cons I’m used to having more control over edits, but now that I have used the text editor a few times, I’ve realized how much more efficient it is. Alternatives considered [Descript](https://www.capterra.com/p/230702/Descript/) Reason for choosing Riverside Better interface and higher quality video Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) I wanted a one stop shop that could help with efficiency. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 23, 2026 Hi Sean! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you're finding Riverside helpful for your content creation. We're glad to know you find the platform easy to use. We appreciate you pointing out the transition to the text editor; it's great to hear it's proving more efficient for you! ZS Zoia S. Podcast Host Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best podcast product in the market!" February 20, 2026 5.0 Pros Very easy to use with a variety of features that make it my go-to podcast recording and content creation hub. Cons Recording is not yet available on safari (as pen my understanding), which can be limiting to guests. Otherwise, nothing! Switched from [Squadcast](https://www.capterra.com/p/182098/Squadcast/) Riverside more intuitive and has better functionality. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Thanks for the glowing review, Zoia! It’s wonderful to hear that you find Riverside intuitive and feature-rich for your podcasting needs. We truly value your long-term support and your feedback on browser compatibility. We're so glad to have you with us - happy recording :) AD Ali D. Owner Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "All podcasters should use riverside " March 25, 2026 5.0 I love riverside. It’s really simple and easy to learn. The AI aspects are so helpful. The video quality is good too! Pros I like the ease of it, the AI and the price. It’s easy to host interviews and the quality of videos and audio is good. Cons The exporting of videos, audio and hooks takes quite a long time sometimes. I wish it would just download to the computer and not be emailed. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 29, 2026 Hi Ali, Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're so glad the AI aspects and video quality are making your workflow simpler. We hear your feedback about the export process; we understand that waiting for email notifications can be a hurdle, and we are looking into ways to make downloading even more direct and efficient in the future. Best regards, The Riverside Team MF Michelle F. Podcaster Broadcast Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Convenient easy to use. " March 17, 2026 5.0 I use it to interview people then convert the recording to a youtube video. easy to use. Sometimes the guest's photo can drop out in editing. i don't know why! Pros Easy to use, record, AI editing is awesome. Picture is clear and can post in 4K. Price is right for me. Cons Editing could be smoother. I would like the ability to drop in my own photos and add effects like a sticker and intro. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) ability to edit, whereas zoom did not have that ability Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 23, 2026 Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are so happy to hear that Riverside is your go-to for high-quality podcasting. We’ve noted your feedback about the editor being a bit slow with longer recordings—performance optimization is a major focus for us right now to ensure that long-form creators like you have a seamless experience from start to finish. Thanks for being part of the Riverside community! SG Shanti G. Founder Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Riverside is a great part of my podcast journey" March 26, 2026 4.0 I think it's a great platform and have recommended it to others. Customer service has generally been solid. Pros Ease and quality of recording for podcast guests and me. I can record a podcast with peace of mind, knowing Riverside it capturing our conversation in a way that will produce a strong final product. Cons At times, it won't allow me to manually change captions the way I need to. This has caused me to spend extra time looking for solutions, or need to just accept the captions as they appear. Review Source HT Hillary T. Product Marketing Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for 1:1 Conversations with Clients" March 5, 2026 5.0 Not bad, great for short conversations. Wish there was more customizability and easier way to edit text (subtitles, titles, labels). UX/UI is very small and it's hard to configure without misclicking Pros Ease of editing out smaller audio clips (buffer words, silence in between conversations). Removing unnecessary context. Also liked how the transcript teleprompter is formatted Cons The AI edit feature for me does not quite work well and I rarely use it, because it keeps removing important context from my conversation Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Hillary, thank you for the review! We’re glad our transcript and silence-removal tools are helping you produce your client conversations. We appreciate the feedback on our AI editor—fine-tuning that balance to preserve context is something we’re working on daily. We value your insights! KL Karen L. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Happy I Switched to Riverside! " March 1, 2026 5.0 Pros I like that all of the podcast assets are in one place. No more going from site to site to create the shownotes, the video clips, etc. I am also saving money and time by having everything in one place rather than paying for multiple platforms. Cons There was a bit of a learning curve to get started, but once I got the hang of things, the podcast lifecycle (from recording to publishing) was much faster and more professional. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) I wanted a platform with more features and was basically made for podcasting. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Karen, welcome to Riverside! We’re so glad you made the switch from Zoom and that having everything in one place is speeding up your podcast lifecycle. We know there's a bit of a learning curve at first, so we're happy to hear you've hit your stride. Thanks for the support! RG Rachael G. Managing Partner Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy for a layperson like me" March 13, 2026 5.0 I recommend it to others, so clearly I like it. We pop on create some content, whether long or short and can quickly be used and published. Pros The quality produced on Riverside is great! It is super easy to use for a lay person like me. It is straightforward to make clips. They seem to take feedback and learn from what issues customers have. I have been using it for over 2 years now for my small business podcast. Cons I do wish it wasn't more expensive to have an editor, as I am lay person I need someone else to polish it up. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 24, 2026 Rachael, the fact that you're recommending Riverside to others says it all - thank you! We hear the feedback on editing costs and are always thinking about how to make more of that accessible across plans. - The Riverside Team JW Josh W. Owner Broadcast Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great value for money" February 20, 2026 5.0 Overall really liking it thus far and they keep making new updates that i really like IE thumbnail generation, video titles, and autoposting. Pros It's super well polished and combines several softwares into one so is really great value for money. Cons It's a little buggy at times, but most times a quick refresh page fixes the issue. The core features still work though. Alternatives considered [Loom](https://www.capterra.com/p/191187/Loom/) Reason for choosing Riverside Better features and the quality of the on device recording is great.

Host Program Development Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Riverside On My Side" March 31, 2026 5.0 I love it very simple had it for 2 years and dont consider using any other podcadt software since I had Riverside. Pros Riverside is simplified and very easy to utilize for podcasting once you learn the software to use to interview. Cons The buffering during interviews during the podcast can become a headache not capturing every word spoken. Review Source KD Kyle D. Host E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New to podcasting, super smooth platform" March 6, 2026 5.0 It great, saves time, love the audio editing. Really smooth. I was told by a friend who was into podcasting for years about it and made the switch from streamyard. Pros It's very easy for podcast editing and creating shorts and clips for social media. I love that I can look through the transcript and begin my edits there rather than dragging a bar through and finding the exact moment I want to cut in. Cons I'd like if I could make a studio in advance and be able to email that to my guest when we schedule, sometimes that is a month before the interview. PErhaps this is possible and I haven't seen the easy way to spot it. Switched from [Streamyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/213044/StreamYard/) Reccomendation from a friend who has been podcasting Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 24, 2026 Kyle, really glad it's been smooth and saving you time right from the start! The studio-invite-via-email idea is a smart one — we'll pass that along to the product team. – The Riverside Team AR Antonio R. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Innovative service with multiple functions " March 19, 2026 5.0 Pros Innovative service like no other, for example the dubbing tech, the multiple edits with Ai, that’s tech that I’ve not found anywhere else Cons Maybe that the price must be less than $20 dls instead of more than $35, the monthly subscription also can be fee for 30 days Switched from [Streamyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/213044/StreamYard/) Ai functions, better technology that stream yard Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 23, 2026 Thank you, Antonio! We're glad you’re enjoying the innovative AI features like dubbing and multiple edits.

Value is good and the overall ease of use is great and the interface is clean. Pros It is very simple to use and the quality is great. Everything is streamed lined to make it as user friendly as possible Cons The guest needs to wait until their portion has fully uploaded. Did not know this. Had to ask a guest to get back on their computer and finish the upload. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 24, 2026 Kyle, simple, clean, and high quality is exactly the combination we aim for — glad it's coming through! The guest upload wait is something we're working on improving, and thanks for mentioning it. – The Riverside Team MD Malice D. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Stop searching, there is nothing better." March 29, 2026 5.0 Was recommended by a friend who also uses this platform, never looked back. He was right, its a great, easy to use podcasting platform. Pros What more can I say is that it can do everything for you. From beginner to experienced podcasting, this is all you need. If you're shopping around for an alternative, I'll save you the time.. there isn't one. Super easy to use, the audio editing and video creation tools are spot on and the price is definitely worth it. Cons I'll let you know when I find something. Right now I have had zero issues with the platform. Any questions I may have had in the beginning were easy to find an answer to.

March 16, 2026 5.0 Overall, it's a great tool, and I'd recommend it for anybody that's looking for a good podcast tool. Pros Easy to use with super fast editing. The audio is great. The ability to pull out filler words makes it really nice. Cons I wish it was easier to apply visual effects. Some of the AI tools are a bit cheesy, and I don't see much value in them.

It needs some small bug fixes, but the recording studio and AI editing features are amazing. Pros I like the ability to have clips created for me, designed for social media. The magic edits help the editing process dramatically. Cons Editing long-form content is clunky and often has numerous bugs.

February 27, 2026 5.0 Pros The all in one platform for recording, editing, hosting and AI integration. I can invite guests directly to the recording studio. Cons So far, nothing! The AI isn't always spot on, but I appreciate it taking me further. I still listen to the entire episode to edit out "ums" and so on. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Leslie, thank you so much for the 10/10 recommendation! We’re thrilled that Riverside has become your all-in-one solution for recording, editing, and hosting.

Happy to be a Riverside user" February 23, 2026 5.0 Overall Riversides platform has improved my efficiency with audio and video editing by 100%. I wish I found it sooner! Pros I love the ease of use and all the AI editing tools. It makes content available to post faster and takes long format videos, cutting them up into various short clips with titles and varying topics Cons Nothing to dislike but it could have more audio editing tools similar to audacity and other podcast editing softwares Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Thanks for the wonderful review, Christina!
