Why teams switch from Riverside
You are not hosting a podcast
Riverside is engineered for separate-track multi-guest recording at studio quality. If most of your video is one person walking through a screen, that engineering is over-spec for the job, and the price reflects it.
Daily async, not weekly studio
Riverside fits the cadence of a weekly podcast or quarterly interview. vyds is built for the 5+ recordings a day a working team produces.
Much lower cost for that workflow
Riverside Pro is $24/mo annual ($29 monthly). vyds Plus is $7/mo ($5 annual). If you need studio quality occasionally, you can still keep Riverside while using vyds as your daily tool.
Your storage, your data
Riverside hosts recordings on their cloud. vyds Free saves to your own Google Drive or OneDrive, no vendor lock-in for your everyday video library.
