Riverside lists integrations including Spotify for Creators, Spotify, Transistor, Castos, HubSpot, Salesforce and webinar webhooks. It supports web, macOS, iOS and Android, and its app allows editing on a phone. Computer recording supports Chrome, Edge and Safari; Linux computers are unsupported for recording. The free plan is 0.00 USD per free, billed $0/month, with two hours of multi-track recordings as a one-off, up to 720p, a watermark and 44.1 kHz audio. Standard is 15.00 USD per month billed annually; Pro is 24.00 USD per month billed annually.
