## Plans

| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Free | $0 | — | flat | Forever-free. Includes 2 hours (120 minutes) of multi-track — separate audio and video track — recording, but this is a ONE-OFF lifetime allowance rather than a monthly refill, which is why minutesIncluded is null rather than 120: it is not a recurring meter, and misreading it as monthly is the single biggest trap on this page. Capped at 720p video and 44.1 kHz audio, limited to 1 studio, and recordings carry a Riverside watermark. Single-track recording and video calls are unlimited. | riverside.com |
| Pro | $29 | — | flat | $29/month month-to-month — the figure recorded here; annual billing drops it to $24/month, shown on the page as $288 billed annually. Includes 5 hours per month of separate-track recording (300 minutes, a genuine monthly meter), 15 hours/month of separate-track downloads, 1 studio, 4K video, 48 kHz audio, no watermark, teleprompter, AI editing and repurposing, unlimited transcription and podcast hosting. Recording hours and download hours are two different meters and both bind. | riverside.com |
| Grow | $39 | — | flat | $39/month month-to-month — the figure recorded here; annual billing drops it to $34/month, shown as $408 billed annually. 15 hours/month of separate-track recording (900 minutes), 20 hours/month of downloads, 2 studios. Adds social scheduling, newsletter, a creator website, 1080p live streaming and multistreaming. | riverside.com |
| Webinar | $99 | — | flat | $99/month month-to-month — the figure recorded here; the page shows an annual-billed rate of $79/month. No yearly total is asserted: the page prints '$408/year' against this row, which is arithmetically impossible at $79/month ($948) and is Grow's annual total duplicated into this column — confirmed as a page error on re-fetch, not a discount. Unlimited recording, 3 studios, 25 hours/month of separate-track downloads, webinars for up to 100 registrants, lead capture, webinar analytics and a HubSpot integration. Note the download meter still binds even though recording is unlimited. | riverside.com |
| Business | quote-only | — | custom | Quote-only, contact sales. Unlimited recording, studios and downloads; webinars up to 10,000 registrants, producer mode, SSO, API access, dedicated CSM, and the only tier to which the page attaches SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance. | riverside.com |

Provenance: riverside.fm/pricing 301-redirects to riverside.com/pricing; figures below come from the redirected official page, re-fetched 2026-09-10. Two corrections this pass. First, the Webinar row's annual total was confirmed to be a genuine page error on refetch — the live page renders '$79/month (billed $408/year)', which cannot be right since $79 x 12 = $948, and $408 is exactly Grow's annual total duplicated into the Webinar column. Only the per-month rates ($99 month-to-month, $79 annual-billed) are therefore recorded and no yearly total is asserted for Webinar. Second, the Free tier's 2-hour multi-track allowance was moved out of minutesIncluded (now null) because it is a one-off lifetime allowance, not a per-period meter, and leaving 120 in a monthly field misreads as a monthly refill. Every monthlyUsd holds the month-to-month rate, not the annual-billed one.
