Riverside is a remote recording platform for podcasts and video with local recording and transcription. It handles local recording, transcription, ai editor, and multi-track, and it's best suited for podcasters wanting studio-quality remote recording. It has been around since 2019, giving it a 7-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.

Paid plans start at $15/mo, which unlocks the full feature set. It's aimed at individual users, so it's fast to set up but may lack team-management features if you scale.
