About Riverside.fm

Riverside.fm solves the core problem of remote podcast recording: when you record a video call, the audio and video are compressed and degraded by your internet connection. Riverside records each participant locally on their own device at full quality (up to 4K video, uncompressed audio), then uploads after the session. The result is studio-quality recordings regardless of guest internet quality. Separate audio and video tracks mean you can edit each speaker independently. The AI transcription creates a searchable transcript and enables text-based editing. The clip creation tool lets you cut social media clips directly in the browser. Magic Audio removes background noise and enhances voice quality. Riverside's free tier allows 2 hours/month of recording at 720p. Paid plans ($15-24/month) unlock 4K, unlimited recording, and live streaming. Compare to Zencastr (similar approach, slightly less reliable), Squadcast (Descript's remote recording solution), and Zoom (compressed quality, worse for podcasting). Best for: podcasters who record remote guests and can't afford compressed audio quality, especially for video podcasts.
