Riverside plans & pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free STALE · 2026-09-10 | $0 | — | Flat monthly | 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 included minutes is left blank rather than showing 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 | $35 | −31% | Flat monthly | $35/month month-to-month — the figure recorded here; annual billing drops it to $24/month. Includes unlimited recording hours, 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. Only the download hours are capped; recording hours are not. | riverside.com |
| Grow | $45 | −24% | Flat monthly | $45/month month-to-month — the figure recorded here; annual billing drops it to $34/month. Unlimited recording hours, 20 hours/month of downloads, 2 studios. Adds social scheduling, newsletter, a creator website, 1080p live streaming and multistreaming. | riverside.com |
| Webinar | $99 | — | Flat monthly | $99/month month-to-month — the figure recorded here; the page shows an annual-billed rate of $79/month. 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 | 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 |
Last verified 2026-11-01. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. 1 of 5 plans above is marked. riverside.fm/pricing 301-redirects to riverside.com/pricing; figures below come from the redirected official page, re-fetched 2026-09-10. Two corrections on this read. 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 included minutes (now left blank) 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 monthly price recorded here holds the month-to-month rate, not the annual-billed one. This note predates 2 corrections to the plans above, the earliest from 2026-11-01; the table holds the corrected figures.See the corrections.

This standing as a plaque
Riverside currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 13 of 13 · Video Editing. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Riverside moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
