Founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Chads personal podcast experience using Riverside " May 6, 2026 5.0 As a complete newbie and over 50 years old, creating informational podcasting has allowed me to do something. I’ve been wanting to do easily without having to pay a bunch of studio techs. Pros Easy to use and great info on videos in YouTube in case there’s an I’ve been able to find the videos and go back in Cons Nothing so far, still learning. I’ve only had a few issues but they were just not knowing what I’m doing not any product errors. Review Source SS Steven S. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Riverside is the best tool for my podcast" June 5, 2026 5.0 Overall riverside is amazing. I truly enjoy how easy the editing is and how easy it is to add graphics and videos Pros It has been easiky the best tool i have for production of my podcasts. It helps me edit video and sound quality Cons I feel like it need to be able to be used on more browser options as of late that has been an obstacle when recording Alternatives considered [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/)[Streamyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/213044/StreamYard/) Reason for choosing Riverside I truly appreciated how the uploads work and also the ease to record Review Source AD Allison D. Senior Marketing Manager Market Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Super happy with Riverside for Podcasting" May 13, 2026 5.0 The customer service is excellent. The magic audio AI editing tool is out of this world. I think it's a tremendous value for money. Pros As a novice podcast producer, Riverside has been incredible for me. The editing features are so easy to use. Being able to click on a word or a sentence to edit it, is so simple. Cons I don't love the dub over feature when I want to correct a word. The volume gets messed up. If there was a way to adjust that specific word or inserted audio, that would be awesome. I would also like to be able to adjust when and how people appear (i.e. if you want to bring a guest in halfway through). Review Source BS Brittany S. Podcast host Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use " February 26, 2026 5.0 I’ve been using Riverside for over 2 years and it has all of the features I need. It makes it super easy to publish the podcast to multiple platforms. Pros Riverside is very easy to use. It’s simple to create a link for a podcast guest, email the link, and they can join on a web browser or the app. Cons I wish the backgrounds weren’t a premium feature - even the blur option. The backgrounds that are included don’t seem to track your face well. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Needed something more seamless and consistent Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Brittany, thank you for being a part of the Riverside community for over two years! We're thrilled that the platform makes it so easy for you to host guests and publish across multiple platforms. We appreciate the honest feedback regarding background options and tracking—we're constantly working on our video processing to ensure everything looks as seamless as possible. Thanks for the 10/10 recommendation! BP Brian P. Owner operator Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A+ for the money " May 23, 2026 5.0 For the money I can't complain. This has been easier than learning and using other editing software. It does become easier as you use the product more. I've found that watching YouTube tutorials has been very helpful. Pros It's fairly easy to use. It gives me a lot of options when recording and editing my podcast. I feel it's made my project creation easy, however I have used YouTube videos to supplement the small riverside tutorials. Overall it's a great value for the money. I would caution against relying on the AI project companion too much as it can make costly mistakes. Cons I think the file organization is a bit all over the place. When I first started using Riverside I found it very difficult to find what I was looking for. Some of the editing can be choppy and if you make a mistake often times I feel stuck with it because of the auto save. Adding logos and custom backgrounds to video clips is difficult as I've found sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Lastly the AI works sometimes but then other times it completely destroys the video.

" April 28, 2026 5.0 So far, I like it, and I know I will love it over time. It enhances the video's quality. I did an interview with someone in Nigeria and Ukraine, and the video looked perfect. Pros I like that it has all of the tools in one place. I was able to cancel two other subscriptions, which improved the video quality, made it look extremely professional, and added excellent b-roll options. Cons It takes a few days to learn the platform; it's not as easy as others. The tutorials should be mandatory. It is also not as popular, so most people are not familiar with the software. In one interview, the guest left early, and we had issues finalizing the video. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) It's outdated, and the video is terrible. Review Source DA Donnell A. Editor Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Growing into Riverside proficiency " April 30, 2026 5.0 I’m a big fan. At first I was bad at running my studio, then Riverside gave me coaching. I have improved dramatically. Pros I appreciate how easy it is to improve sound and visual quality. When I was creating my podcast on Zoom that was a hassle. Cons Difficulty in editing outside media. The other day I attempted to bring in a few videos and couldn’t make the framing work. Switched from [Zoom Events and Webinars](https://www.capterra.com/p/157062/Zoom-Video-Webinar/) Sought quality improvement as I stepped up my podcast. Review Source ND Nicoa D. Executive Coach, Speaker, Author, Retreat Guide Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS " March 14, 2026 5.0 Riverside has been the core of my podcast and my social media video creation approach and I could not do this as a solo entrepreneur more easily without the tool Pros Absolute ease of use and value for my money! Seriously it has continued to improve quarter after a quarter since I invested in this four years ago! Cons I honestly don’t know how to answer this question about liking something lease… Because every time I had any type of concern, guess what they fixed it or improved it or offered something new! Alternatives considered [Podcastle](https://www.capterra.com/p/10004341/Podcastle/) Reason for choosing Riverside Ease of use and reputation - and I’m sure price was a determining factor, too Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 24, 2026 Nicoa, exceeded expectations is about the best thing we could read - thank you so much! It means everything to know Riverside has been at the core of both your podcast and social video creation. Thanks! PP PE P. President Fine Art Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Worth your time for great results at minimal cost" April 15, 2026 4.0 Overall this has been one of the fastest integrations into a complex online software I've had. I can do often get stuck in weeds and never finish my projects but Riverside has simplified this process enough that i get done and move on to the next. Pros I've only just started my first video blog. I was afraid that i would not be able to manage it. Riverside has disabused me of any concerns. I'm able to make and edit video interviews with ease, the software helps me improve any glitches such as less than optimal sound, and it works fast uploading and running edits. Basically the ease of use is great and the cost per month is more than fair for what you get. Cons Though I am living Riverside, It's not always intuitive what the various controls do. Most importantly editing the timeline can be a bit cumbersome especially when adding photos or images into it. Coming from an Adobe background, there are aspects of modifying and editing that could be easier or at least more apparent.

Owner Political Organization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Right Bros Podcast loved Riverside FM" May 2, 2026 5.0 I would say overall experience is 1000 out of 100. It is so amazing and I really enjoy using it. My best friends and I do a political podcast like well weekly and it’s easy to have guest because you could send links. You can have people tune in and listen live if you wanted to. It’s just a great experience Pros It’s easy to use! Has amazing capabilities for your podcast and recording needs. It’s reasonably priced so you’re not paying an exorbitant amount of money to do a podcast. Cons There’s not much I don’t like. It’s very enjoyable compared to some of the other recording platforms I have used. Switched from [Podbean](https://www.capterra.com/p/210538/Podbean/) Something more user-friendly.

Love every minute to build, record and be at my studio. Pros Everything, there ways of improving, and they come at with a team vibe atmosphere. Love the way Riverside helps you to bring the best in you projects and podcasts! So awesome Cons Nothing really. Just an overall great experience and just a fun atmosphere. With great software, with, making podcasts awesome! Review Source MA Mike A. Podcast Host E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very Happy 1st Year of Podcasting with Riverside " May 23, 2026 5.0 Pros It's incredibly easy to record podcast episodes with 2 or more guests, cut reels, shorts, and videos directly onto the platforms of your choosing. What's especially helpful too is the AI-editing, they cut out "ummms", and other pauses to make the back end work immensely quick and easy. Cons I really have no complaints about the Riverside platform. I haven't used any other platforms for comparison, but overall, they're continuing to update their infrastructure which is awesome. Review Source SB Sabre B. Systems Strategist Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Makes creating video and audio content easier " March 24, 2026 5.0 I love using it. It makes creating content easier for me as a business owner and I’ve been able to stay consistent with content creation because of it Pros How easy it is to edit audio and video content. And how I am able to store my videos on there and put it in folders. Cons That is can crash sometimes while you are editing the video or audio. It creates out of nowhere sometimes. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 29, 2026 Hi Sabre, Thank you so much for the 5-star review!

Podcast host and journalist Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Preserving history with Riverside" June 2, 2026 5.0 I’ve been able to create two separate podcasts and do a variety of personal projects through Riverside that have helped secure moments in history that will hopefully last for generations. I am a huge proponent of the platform. Pros Riverside helps me create a quality podcasting product with minimal complication. If I do run into issues, Riverside always has a fix to let me salvage a recording, whether it be finding a backup file, or saving poor audio quality with sound improvement technology. Cons There is a learning curve to figuring out how to manage difficulties with recordings, but from my understanding, other platforms are far more difficult to manage. Review Source PK Paul K. Rector Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Delighted to have a creative partner " May 4, 2026 5.0 I've been very impressed with Riverside. I paid for full access before my trial was over and have recommended it to many people already. I use it every week and expect to continue to do so. Pros Riverside has made it easy for me to do more and better editing in the same (or less) time. Some favorite features include: enhancing overall sound quality, captioning, editing from the transcript, and more. I also benefit from the auto-generated content, such as the hooks and promos. Cons Occasionally, the features aren't as intuitive as I might hope. While overall the interface is familiar from prior editing experience and a general improvement, there are some things that are more challenging to accomplish.

Marketing Strategist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Simple and Efficient Tool for Recording Remote Videos" March 5, 2026 4.0 Overall, our experience with Riverside has been very positive. The platform makes remote recording and collaboration extremely simple, which is a huge advantage for our workflow. While there are some areas that could improve, especially in the editing tools, the benefits clearly outweigh the drawbacks. We’re also planning to host the podcasts we produce on the platform, although we haven’t fully explored that feature yet. Pros Riverside has been a great tool for our team thanks to its simplicity. It’s very easy to start a recording session and quickly share the link with the rest of the team so everyone can join without friction. We also appreciate the automatic initial editing features, which save us a significant amount of time during the early stages of video production. Cons The B-roll editing experience still feels a bit underdeveloped. Adding B-roll clips can be somewhat uncomfortable and less intuitive than expected. Because of this, we usually download the video after the initial edit and move it to another video editing software where we can add B-roll, apply effects, and use LUTs more efficiently. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Andres, thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that our team-sharing features are making your workflow more efficient. We also appreciate your honest feedback on the B-roll editing process - making those features more intuitive is a top priority for us as we grow. We can’t wait to see you explore our hosting features next! OZ Olivia Z. We are podcasters Public Policy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We love Riverside - only one or two things that could improve!" March 5, 2026 5.0 We have been utilizing Riverside for our podcast editing and outreach. We love the option to have video and audio all recorded on Riverside and ready to edit ASAP after recording. Pros It is so user friendly and makes editing podcast audio a breeze! I love that if you film your podcast via Riverside, it makes high quality reels for you. We've gone viral with a few of the pre-made reels! Cons You can't add transition music overlayed in the beginning or end of your podcast. There are some editing options just generally missing from the experience. Alternatives considered [Audacity](https://www.capterra.com/p/214605/Audacity/) Reason for choosing Riverside Riverside was much easier to use and makes for a quicker editing time. Switched from [Audacity](https://www.capterra.com/p/214605/Audacity/) It was such a complicated process to edit podcasts. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Olivia, congrats on going viral with those reels! That is amazing to hear. We appreciate your feedback on transition music and other missing editing features-we’re constantly adding new tools to make Riverside a one-stop shop for podcasters like you. Thanks for the 10/10! BP Bryan P. Podcaster Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Great Platform for Podcasters" March 6, 2026 5.0 I have been super-happy with Riverside. I have been happy with the ability to record over vast distances with my podcast subjects and the platform is easy to use, even for a non-techie like me. Pros The Riverside platform allows me to reach out to people far away and seem like we are sitting together in the same room. It's also super-easy to use and the AI features make recording a podcast and editing it a breeze - the AI summaries and show notes are amazing, and so are the chapters that it creates. The price is pretty amazing for the features that are included, and the time that it saves me is well worth it! Cons The only item that I've had a little issue with is that, when AI is used to fix some recordings, it can jack with a word here or there.

Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 24, 2026 Bryan, "seem like we're in the same room" is one of the best ways to describe what good remote recording should feel like — glad Riverside is delivering that for you! We're refining the AI editing to be more careful with word boundaries. – The Riverside Team NT Noah T. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool for Podcasters " March 25, 2026 5.0 Overall, it's a great product, tool, and software for podcasters. I highly recommend to all my clients. Pros I love the video quality Riverside provides, when compared with Zoom or similar podcasting software. Cons Sometimes Riverside has glitches, and I cannot even log into my account. I try different browsers; it's just glitchy. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 29, 2026 Hi Noah, Thank you for the high recommendation to your clients! We're thrilled that the video quality stands out to you compared to other platforms. We are sorry to hear about the occasional login glitches you've encountered; our engineering team is actively working on stability updates to ensure your access is as reliable as the recording quality itself.

May 15, 2026 5.0 Overall, it's been very positive. I'm recording, editing, and producing my podcast alone, and it's been an easy platform to navigate! Pros Easy to record, easy to edit. I'm a relatively new podcaster, and it's been an intuitive and easy-to-navigate platform / system. I appreciate that editing is so fast and easy! Cons I've had some recording issues and had to re-record two different podcast episodes. One of those was just me being new- my guest closed out the box at the end before hers had uploaded to 100% (giving her the little green check mark), and we lost a large portion of our interview, and then it overlapped me talking over her. Review Source Rachel K. Business Therapist Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Makes podcasting easy!" April 27, 2026 5.0 I get frustrated when technology is challenging and cumbersome. I haven’t gotten frustrated at all with Riverside! I’ve been able to navigate anything I need to do with relative use. It’s just about as intuitive as an Apple product! Pros Riverside makes podcasting easy! Among my favorite things about the platform: sound quality, magic clips, and share link. Cons The co-creator chat is okay but could be sharper in its responses. I like to ask co-creator to pull powerful quotes from episodes. It doesn’t seem to do that well. The quotes it suggests are boring and general. Review Source WH Wesley H. Communications Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Riverside.fm is a Podcaster's Best Friend" February 26, 2026 5.0 I have tried many other options for podcast recording, but Riverside.fm is hands down the platform to use. The customer service is top-notch and quick with helpful responses. The video quality and audio integration is seamless. And, the way I can use one recording for both video and audio posting is amazing. Pros Riverside.fm is easy to use, even for a newbie. Quick set up for event management, Riverside allows me to schedule recordings and send invitations to others on my team for great collaboration. Cons I am still working on learning the audio editing process. Though robust, it does take time to learn. Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 10, 2026 Hi Wesley, thank you for the wonderful feedback! It’s great to hear that our scheduling and team invitation features are making collaboration easy for your non-profit.

Editing, publishing and features are 2nd to none. Other products do not compare. The posting process is super simple and fast. You do not have to be an expert to look like an expert with this app. This makes your content look and sound professional. Pros Startup is easy. Editing features are fantastic. I can perform edits in a matter of minutes and post. Endless options and very intuitive. The AI is fantastic. The audio enhancing features are great. Cons While there are lots of updates, sometimes there are too many. When I go start up a recording, it will need to update. You have to plan for that.

Review Source LS Libby S. Communications Manager Public Policy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### " Low barrier to entry, high potential! " March 24, 2026 5.0 We tried out Riverside to produce videos from an interview series that we were doing. In those interviews, our guests perform a song. We were looking for a platform that would record quality vocals, and Riverside did not disappoint! I'm a beginner in the video and audio editing world, and it's completely user-friendly and helpful. We've also been able to post all of our videos as audio & podcasts for more accessibility. For the amount that it can do, it's a great value! Pros It's easy to use, and the company is responsive if there's a problem. I love that it makes small clips all on its own. The audio and video quality are amazing. Cons For what it can do, it's certainly not difficult to learn. However, it does take some work on the front end to understand the mechanics and logistics. Make sure to watch the tutorials! Review Source Response from RiversideFM March 29, 2026 Hi Libby, Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re finding Riverside to be the best platform for your podcasting needs, especially when it comes to the price point. We love that the guest experience has been easy for you—making things simple for your guests is one of our top goals. We've noted your feedback about the editor being a little laggy sometimes; we’re working hard on performance updates to make the editing process as smooth and fast as the recording itself.

Creative Director Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Outstanding performance" April 1, 2026 5.0 Our overall experience with Riverside has been extremely positive. Our international team can meet and record video with the greatest of ease. It truly has become one of our primary tools! Pros I've found Riverside to be very easy to use and transition to. The quality of the recordings we have access to has been very helpful. Our team is all over the world, so this platform has been an amazing asset! Cons I wish we could assign another team member to record or schedule meetings without having to pay an additional $20 a month. Its an essential task but that added price point feels a little disconnected. Review Source Response from RiversideFM April 14, 2026 Peter, a globally distributed team that can meet and record with ease — that's one of our favorite things to enable, and really glad it's become one of your primary tools! Your point about the additional seat cost for scheduling is fair and noted; we understand that feels like a barrier for what's an essential workflow, and it's the kind of feedback that helps us think about how we structure our plans. – Dor from Riverside ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
