Studio-quality recording, editing, and live streaming, right from your phone. Riverside turns your phone into a portable studio for conversations and talking head videos. Record crisp video and audio anywhere, polish it on the spot, go live to your audience, and turn the best bits into posts, without a laptop or a production team. Whether you're creating a podcast, a YouTube channel, a personal brand, or content for your business, this is where it gets made. RECORD ANYWHERE, IN STUDIO QUALITY Record solo, bring on a remote guest, or go audio-only. Riverside captures every track locally, so your quality stays sharp even when your connection doesn't. A built-in stabilizer keeps your shot steady, and your footage uploads in the background as you record, so it's ready to edit and clip the moment you stop. CLIPS FOR SOCIAL, MADE FOR YOU Knowing what to post is hard. Making it is harder. Riverside's AI does both. It finds your most engaging moments, then cuts them, frames them, and adds the captions. You get the best clips from every recording, ready to publish with a tap. EDIT WITH A PROMPT Describe your edit, and Riverside's AI agent makes it. No timeline. No pinching and dragging clips around on a small screen. Tell it which parts to cut and keep, ask it to clean up audio and remove filler words, or add captions and branding. It's the fastest route from raw recording to ready to post, and when you want more control, your project is waiting for you in the Riverside desktop editor. TURN ONE RECORDING INTO A CONTENT ENGINE WITH AI Riverside's AI agent takes a single recording and makes the rest for you: social clips, a thumbnail, captions, a blog post, full show notes. Just ask. LIVE STREAM TO EVERYWHERE AT ONCE Go live and multistream to YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Twitch, TikTok, and custom RTMP destinations at the same time — one session, every audience. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Started a recording or an edit on your computer? Open it on your phone, watch it back, and leave comments waiting for you when you're back at your desk. Already a Riverside desktop user? The app carries your work with you, so your studio isn't stuck at one location. A SECOND CAMERA IN YOUR POCKET Recording on desktop? Add your phone as a second angle and capture an extra video track for your edit. BUILT FOR CREATORS OF EVERY KIND Podcasters, YouTubers, personal brands, and marketing teams — anyone who wants studio-quality content without the studio.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PREI at none against Riverside's 9. PREI also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Riverside's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (20K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Riverside sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. PREI asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PREI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Riverside has 20K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Riverside ships an update every 5 days, PREI every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
