I love how easy and convenient it is. It really was made for podcasters and it simply makes life easier and more fun.
Pros: I love that I have everything I need in once place for podcasting. When you first start it can be so overwhelming (you don’t know where to start), but this made it easy. I didn’t have to be techie to figure it out and it’s just so convenient. Even the editing—being able to do it through the transcript—was wowwww! So cool! And it’s easy to send to editor. You don’t have to download to then send and waste hours on that. You just send the link and voila! So easy! Oh, and did I mention having the option to invite people in is amazing? The other day I was invited to a podcast and we had to end up using my riverside because the host’s system wasn’t working. Riverside is really reliable.
Cons: The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t let me record on 4k. I got a really good computer camera but but it lowers the resolution. Maybe I haven’t been able to figure out the trick if it does work. My editor couldn’t figure it out either.
Betsy G. · Podcaster, psychotherapist, author, speaker, CEO · Mental Health Care · May 20, 2026
Easy enough for a non-techy, I am not putting much demand on the production of videos, but it is working well for the bare minimum.
Pros: Very easy to record video right away. I like being able to have the transcipt scroll above the frame.

Riverside helped me to grow my podcast because it allowed me to do them virtually when l couldn’t meet guests in person. The AI made clips also help with marketing
Pros: It is ever user friendly. A lot of content creators are not necessarily tech wizzes but they want easy content to make. The AI features that help make clips are super useful!
Cons: Riverside does not have any sound effects that could be added to podcasts. I used to use Spotify for creators and l liked it when l was able to add cool sound effects.
Micah B. · Podcaster · Online Media · May 20, 2026
So far, little to complain about, and if someone has a need for remote podcasting features, then they should get it. I'm happy, it enables me to record without fussing around, which, when your'e trying to be creative, is priceless.
Pros: I enjoy the ability to record remotely with my guest, and have everything in one easy to use platform. I enjoy the ability to normalize audio and make adjustments on the platform. It's just easy. It's much easier than trying to do it in some roundabout way.
Cons: I think the editing platform needs streamlining. I am an editor, and so I typically use davinci or premiere, and the riverside editor is only JUST passable, to the point where I don't want to export and drag it into a real editor. If it were smoother, I'd be much happier.
Nikolas Z. · Owner · Photography · May 19, 2026
I use this service for my weekly webinars, my workshops, my masterminds with clients and this service works phenomenally for all uses. It makes the process simple. It is easy for guests to access. Has a great chat feature, allows for me to easily present with slides, has a teleprompter feature, and the sound quality is amazing. I can’t recommend this platform enough!
Pros: Riverside has fantastic ai features that automatically summarize your video, create social media clips automatically, and make editing your video almost effortless.
Cons: I don’t really have many cons because I really love this platform however I do wish there was a way to present my slides so that presenter notes could still be visible to me only while I am going through the presentation. That is a little prohibitive.
Jennifer B. · Consultant · E-Learning · May 19, 2026
Pros: Magic clips and magic audio makes post production a breeze! I can easily create 3 - 5 additional video clips from my podcast to use in social promotion.
Cons: Sometimes it gets buggy and kicks you out of editing, but usually it saves so often its not a problem.
Erin M. · Founder and Podcast Host · Health, Wellness and Fitness · May 19, 2026
I've been podcasting for a couple of years, and I've tried other tools. I landed here, and I stopped looking. It's not flashy, it's just dependable. And when you're building alone, and your show is a real part of what you're putting into the world, dependability is everything. I'm not switching. This is my platform.
Pros: The local recording changed everything for me. My guest's connection can go sideways, and my audio doesn't move. I do a weekly podcast and Friday Night Lives, and I need my sessions to hold. Riverside holds. The quality is there, the interface stays out of your way, and for somebody running everything solo, that's the difference.
Cons: The editor took me longer than it should have to figure out. Nobody really walks you through it. You learn it by doing it, which is fine, but it could be smoother. And the pricing tiers can feel like a stretch when you're building lean and every dollar has to earn its place.
L. Michael B. · CEO · Media Production · May 18, 2026
Overall I've had a great experience with Riverside and highly recommend it as a podcast recording platform.
Pros: I appreciate that Riverside is specifically built for podcasting and records high-quality audio and video content. It has been a reliable tool for my first year of podcasting, and I have no intentions of switching. I like the editing functionality, the AI "magic audio" enhancement, and the user experience for my podcast guests. I highly recommend it for folks who want to create a professional podcast project and want something that is reliable but not overly expensive.
Cons: I've had a couple instances where the audio came out muddled. In one, the gain was too high on my mic (which is my fault... but it still would have been nice to have some sort of warning from Riverside). In the other case, I thought the audio was recording well, but the wifi for my guest was poor and the audio came out scrambled. These challenges are very disappointing because booking time with a guest and recording an entire interview is a big ask for them, and if it goes wrong, asking to re-record is a big deal. These issues are rare, yet I think they're something Riverside could improve on.
Brian G. · Founder and CEO · Philanthropy · May 18, 2026
Amazing. Makes everything easy for my team I def will be recommending to everyone. Our producer also loves this as well.
Pros: I love that it makes recording, editing and clipping so much easier since its all in ONE place. It makes everything seamless and takes away the stress of having audio, video, etc fragmented. I love the A.I Features as well. I also love that it make interviewing guests so much easier and seamless.
Cons: I wish we had the option to do a cam link of several cameras at once. Then it would be perfect.That way we can shoot with several angles without a switcher
Ameen H. · Podcast Host Multidisciplinary artist · Media Production · May 18, 2026
Accessibly, reliable, team aspect, and just overall fun experience. 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!
Chris L. · Creator · Public Safety · May 17, 2026
Very positive experience overall with Riverside as a whole. Great for recording especially remotely. I would give it a 8/10 overall. If the price were lower it would be a 10/10.
Pros: Riverside is very user friendly in its ease of use to record and invite others to record. I record remotely with my friends and that is a major plus for me. Plus the editing features are very easy to use as well.
Cons: The cost of the plans is on the higher side. I pay for the $29/month plan and that’s pushing it in my opinion. Especially given that there’s still a ceiling on how much content I can record. $15/$20 per month would be more palatable. Regarding the actual software, the magic audio isn’t great. When I’ve used it, it would make awkward edits at the beginning and end of each time someone spoke making it sound clunky and even slightly cutting off the beginning and ending of sentences.
Nathan K. · CAD Drafter · Construction · May 17, 2026
It’s been a great program. Helped me a ton and when I did have a contact customer support the response was quick and thorough.
Pros: Riverside makes creating reels so quick. Using the made for you ai has cut down the time that it takes to create reels by 80%. A great feature!
Cons: I have had a hard time when I’m doing a live. Four or five times the Recording has just stopped within the first few minutes and I have to start it again, which is extremely awkward when doing a live.
Nanette B. · Owner · Health, Wellness and Fitness · May 17, 2026
Great, on month 6 and it is easy to use. When editing, it is seamlessly done. Your audience will not hear the cuts.
Pros: Easy to use. Love using it for my pocast. It is nice to have all projects on one platform. There are a ton of options, great value for your money.
Cons: Nothing. It is great. I enjoy using the platform. I am not super savy but I am able to figure ut out pretty easily.
Katie L. · Executive Director · Individual & Family Services · May 15, 2026
Love using Riverside for editing and recording because it speeds up the process of releasing episodes and editing videos
Pros: I love being able to record with guests and also edit in the same platform. The AI functionalities and tools make it so much faster to get my episodes out into the world. I also use it to edit other videos for my brand and I love that it's one tool I can use in many different ways.
Cons: It can be heavy and slow loading at times, especially with longer videos or when using the AI tools. I also don't like how the script editing functions at times, when I want to restore certain parts of the "made for you" edits, it feels clitchy and slow
Marina G. · Brand Coach · Marketing and Advertising · May 15, 2026
Overall experience has been top notch and have recommended it already to many. It is overall easy to use, very good quality and has many of the features needed to kick start an amazing podcast.
Pros: I love the Magic AI feature- it is one of my favorites. I also love the sound quality is produces. I record from home and you would never be able to tell.
Cons: The support has been helpful but slow to resolution. I have had 2 issues so far and while they tried to help, it took many attempts, slow response and at the end, did not get resolved.
April O. · Founder and CEO · Human Resources · May 15, 2026
Very good, they have AI and people helping. I'm still discovering new features, like they can autocreate a website for you. There's a lot to do to after publishing a pod and I can't imagine how much more work it would be without Riverside. Easily worth the money.
Pros: The deleting of words from video/audio is key. Basically their AI autocreates a transcript and then you can literally just delete the words and it deletes the audio/video. Very cool feature. I also like the magic segments that the AI autocreates for you which are generally so good that I don't look for anything else to grab people's attention on the socials.
Cons: I didn't push echo cancellation when recording one pod, and the AI tools weren't able to remove it in post. Was a painstaking process to remove all echos over a two hour pod, which seems like a simple job for AI. Also there's a special button to remove umms and ahhhs but its a little agressive and often eliminates laughter too :(
Michael D. · Podcaster and Producer · Sports · May 15, 2026
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.
DARION R. · Owner and Producer · Media Production · May 15, 2026
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.
Rachel T. · Writer, Public Speaker, Content Creator, Podcaster, Coach · Professional Training & Coaching · May 15, 2026
It's a seamless experience, editing my videos. The tools make it easy for me to edit sound and crop tracks.
Pros: Riverside is intuitive and easy to use, with robust video editing features. Their support is second to none!
Cons: I wish it would run on browsers other than Chrome or Edge. I try to steer clear of those due to privacy concerns.
Mark M. · Owner · Research · May 14, 2026
Very simple and high quality with quick responses from customer support when I have questions. The AI features are also very helpful.
Pros: It's making podcast creation very user friendly as I build my first podcast. Customer support has been very responsive and it's been a great value thus far.
Cons: No cons as of yet. I've only tested the recording and not posted yet, but excited to see how user-friendly the posting process is moving forward.
Sam V. · Podcaster · Publishing · May 14, 2026
I would highly recommend riverside. 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.
Lee C. · Dir of IT · Sports · May 14, 2026
I’ve been using Riverside for some years and I recommend it to all of my friends that start podcasts.
Pros: Riverside made it easy for a beginner podcaster to create a show! There are tutorials and videos that got me started.
Cons: It is pretty costly to unlock all of the features. As a podcast that is not sponsored I am not able to take advantage of all features.
Calvin C. · Host · Sports · May 14, 2026
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).
Allison D. · Senior Marketing Manager · Market Research · May 13, 2026
Pros: Ease of use, the ability to easily capture and edit video in 4k video is also a winning play. Connecting to podcast services is a plus.
Cons: I wish more of the capabilities were available at the lower price point but I get it. They are a business.
Ian B. · CEO · Marketing and Advertising · May 13, 2026
Great value for the price. Easy to use. Insanely helpful customer support. True content partnership with Magic Edits. Excellent output. 10/10
Pros: Riverside was the game changer I didn't know I needed! I accidentally fell into podcasting and was using Zoom, because it was a tool I knew about. Manual editing was tough, to say nothing of the creating the transcripts and clips for reels. I was so exhausted with the entire process, I almost quit.
Cons: Not to sound corny, but legit the only con is how EASY it is! I find myself creating and podcasting even more than I originally planned because it's just so easy to be an artist now.
