Riverside pricing: key facts
| Plan | Billed yearly | Billed monthly | Webinars | Main limits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $24/mo ($288 a year) | $29/mo | No | 1 studio, 15 hours a month of separate-track downloads, no live streaming |
| Grow | $34/mo ($408 a year) | $39/mo | No (live streaming only) | 2 studios, 20 hours of downloads, 1080p streaming to unlimited destinations |
| Webinar | $79/mo ($948 a year) | $99/mo | Yes, up to 100 registrants | 3 studios, 25 hours of downloads, HubSpot only for CRM |
| Business | Contact sales | Contact sales | Yes, up to 10,000 registrants | Unlimited studios and downloads; Salesforce, Marketo, SSO and API |
These are the US dollar prices on Riverside’s pricing page, which shows yearly plans as a monthly rate; the yearly totals are that rate times 12. The page lists no free plan. Pro, Grow and Webinar each start with a 14-day free trial. The old riverside.fm pricing address now redirects to riverside.com, so Riverside.fm pricing means the same plans.
How Riverside billing works
Riverside charges per account, not per attendee or per host license. Pro, Grow and Webinar each include 1 seat, and Business is sold in custom seat packages. An outside editor on a self-serve plan needs a paid editor seat add-on, priced only inside your account.
What grows with the plan is the number of studios. Riverside defines a studio as a dedicated space for one show, with its own recordings, podcast hosting, analytics and website. Pro includes 1, Grow 2, Webinar 3 and Business unlimited, so a team running a webinar series and a podcast needs at least 2.
Yearly billing saves “up to 20%,” according to the pricing page; worked out from the listed prices, that is about 17% on Pro, 13% on Grow and 20% on Webinar. Monthly plans can be canceled at any time. Riverside accepts US dollars, euros and British pounds and adjusts prices by region, so checkout prices outside the US may differ.
What each Riverside plan includes
Pro
Pro is the recording and editing plan: local recording at up to 4K on desktop (1080p in the mobile apps), 44.1 or 48 kHz audio and up to 10 people per session. Recording and transcription hours are unlimited, and the editor includes text-based editing, Magic Clips, AI show notes, filler word and silence removal and the AI Co-Creator editing agent. Podcast hosting covers 1 show. There is no live streaming and no webinar tooling.
Grow
Grow adds live streaming at up to 1080p (streams default to 720p), multistreaming to unlimited destinations including YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook, custom RTMP, omnichat and live call-ins, plus social scheduling, a newsletter, a creator website and video hosting. Riverside’s own FAQ says Grow can’t run webinars: registration, Q&A, polls, email reminders, HubSpot and webinar analytics are only on Webinar.
Webinar
The Webinar plan adds audience registration with custom fields and a branded form, branded email reminders and follow-ups, Q&A, polls, webinar analytics, recurring webinars, lobby branding, pre-recorded sessions streamed as live and HubSpot integration. The pricing page lists no time limits and unlimited sessions, with up to 100 registrants per webinar.
Business
Business allows as many as 10,000 registrants, with the exact figure depending on the specific plan. It adds unlimited studios and downloads, Salesforce and Marketo integrations, API access, SSO (Okta, Azure), SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification, producer mode, unlimited editors with custom roles and a dedicated customer success manager.
Riverside webinar features in detail
A Riverside webinar broadcasts a studio session to registered attendees, who watch inside Riverside in a desktop browser (Chrome, Edge or Safari), the mobile app or a mobile browser. Each event uses one of two registration modes: pre-registration, with a branded form, a confirmation email carrying a unique join link and a downloadable CSV of registrants, or a direct session link, where people enter a name and email as they join. The direct link suits teams that already run registration on their own landing pages.
How the 100-registrant cap works. Riverside lets people keep registering above the limit and shows the host a warning. The limit applies at the door: once the live session reaches it, later arrivals see a screen saying the event is full. In practice, the Webinar plan works like a 100-seat live room.
Pre-recorded sessions. You attach an exported edit or upload files when scheduling, then press play from the studio’s Media Board after going live. Hosts are hidden by default so the session looks live, and multiple files don’t play back to back, so each must be started by hand. Put those cues in your run of show.
On-demand webinars. The Webinar plan can publish up to 5 on-demand webinars, with no limit on viewers; Business has no cap. Riverside sends no registration or reminder emails for them.
Check embedding before you buy. The pricing page lists “Embed webinars on your site” under the Webinar plan, but the help center lists the embeddable registration widget as Business only, and says only Business accounts can embed on-demand webinars. If registration must happen on your site, get the answer in writing.
You can also live stream the same session to YouTube, LinkedIn or Facebook while registered attendees watch inside Riverside.
Limits and extra costs
- Separate-track downloads are capped at 15, 20 and 25 hours a month on Pro, Grow and Webinar. Riverside’s download hours guide says the allowance is measured against hours recorded, live streaming counts toward it, and unused hours don’t roll over. Exports of edited recordings and clips stay unlimited.
- AI credits. Self-serve plans start with 2,000 credits and Business with 12,000. AI translation uses 100 credits a minute and AI B-roll 100 credits per 5 seconds. Extra credits are bought separately, at prices the pricing page doesn’t show.
- Refunds. The refund policy covers monthly Pro or Grow canceled within 24 hours and yearly Pro or Grow within 14 days. It doesn’t mention the Webinar plan, so ask first. AI credits are non-refundable.
- Trial. The 14-day trial needs a credit card, and you are charged when it ends unless you cancel first.
- Canceling. A canceled account drops to free, and Riverside’s inactive account policy deletes free accounts and their content after 120 days without activity. Download separate tracks first.
- Discounts. Students and nonprofits are told to contact support; no rate is published.
Who Riverside fits for B2B webinars
Riverside makes sense when the recording matters as much as the live event and the audience is small. Local recording at up to 4K, a separate track per speaker and text-based editing let one session become a replay, a podcast episode and a set of clips without a second tool. Customer office hours, expert panels and recorded interview series fit that pattern; see our guide to repurposing webinar content.
Pick a dedicated webinar platform instead if you regularly expect more than 100 people live, need registrations in Salesforce or Marketo without a Business contract, or run an evergreen replay program with reminders (our on-demand replay funnel playbook shows what that takes). Whichever tool you choose, rehearse on the real plan with our tech check and dry run checklist.
How Riverside compares
Here is Riverside’s Webinar plan next to similar plans from our Webinar Platform Index, each re-checked on the vendor’s pricing page on October 9, 2026.
| Platform and plan | Billed yearly | Billed monthly | Live audience | Pre-recorded sessions | Billing unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Riverside Webinar | $79/mo | $99/mo | 100 registrants | Included | Per account (1 seat) |
| StreamYard Advanced | $68.99/mo | $88.99/mo | 100 On-Air viewers | Up to 4 hours | Individual use only |
| Zoom Webinars Plus, 100 | $82.50/mo | $99/mo | 100 attendees | Included | Attendee tier; Zoom Workplace Pro required |
| Zoom Webinars, 500 | $83.33/mo | $129/mo | 500 attendees | Needs Webinars Plus | Attendee tier; Zoom Workplace Pro required |
| Demio Growth, 150 | $80/mo | $117/mo | 150 attendees | Included | Per host |
| Livestorm Pro | $3.00 per attendee (400 credits, $1,200 a year) | Yearly packs only | 3,000 per event | On-demand events | Per attendee per session |
At 100 seats, Riverside and Zoom Webinars Plus are close: $79 against $82.50 a month billed yearly, both with pre-recorded sessions. Zoom also needs a Zoom Workplace Pro license, but marks HubSpot, Marketo and Salesforce as included on every webinar plan. Demio Growth gives 150 seats for $80 a month per host, though native CRM sync waits for Premium ($196 a month billed yearly at 150 seats). StreamYard Advanced is cheapest, but StreamYard says it is for individual use only. Livestorm bills each unique attendee per session, which suits small, irregular audiences. For detail, see our StreamYard, Zoom Webinars, Demio and Livestorm pricing guides.
What Riverside costs for a typical B2B team
Take a marketing team running one customer webinar a month for fewer than 100 live attendees, then cutting clips from the recording. The Webinar plan covers it at $948 a year billed yearly, or $1,188 paid monthly, and its 3 studios leave room for a podcast. At similar size, Zoom Webinars Plus for 100 attendees is $990 a year plus the required Zoom Workplace Pro license, and Demio Growth at 150 seats is $960 a year per host. If leads must land in Salesforce, Riverside’s price becomes a Business quote.
Bottom line
At $79 a month billed yearly, the Webinar plan is fair value for teams that care most about recording quality and repurposing and keep live audiences under 100. One subscription covers the studio, editor, podcast hosting and basic webinar tools, with HubSpot sync.
It is a weaker lead-generation engine. The 100-seat ceiling, Salesforce and Marketo only on Business, and thin on-demand features push bigger programs toward a dedicated platform. If unsure, run one real session during the 14-day trial and check the download-hour and embedding limits before it converts. See Riverside’s current plans.
