The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Riverside.
- The free plan gives a single one off 2 hours of recording rather than a monthly allowance
- Free exports are capped at 720p, so remote recording quality is the paid feature
- Separate track recording is metered monthly, at 5 hours on Pro and 15 on Grow
- Downloadable separate tracks are metered on a different allowance again, at 15, 20 and 25 hours
- Removing all time limits requires the Webinar plan at $79 a month or a custom Business contract
