Convia Pro vs Riverside
Riverside is where you record. Convia builds and runs the campaign around the finished episode, publishing it natively across eight platforms.
Facts about Riverside last checked 2026-09-20.
The short answer
Riverside is where you record: separate tracks, local quality, remote guests, and a production workflow that has become the default for a lot of serious interview shows.
It has also added clip generation and publishing, which is where the comparison gets real. What it does not do is build a campaign. No plan across an episode, no written long-form for LinkedIn, and no cross-platform picture of what worked.
If you record in Riverside, keep recording in Riverside. The question is whether clips on a few platforms is your distribution strategy or the first tenth of it.
Where each one sits
What Riverside does well
- Recording quality. Recording each track locally means a guest's bad connection does not ruin the audio. It is the core reason to use it and it is done properly.
- Remote guest experience. Joining is simple, which matters more than it sounds when your guest is a busy executive.
- Separate track editing. Having each participant isolated makes everything downstream easier.
- Clip generation. Real and useful, particularly inside the tool you already recorded in.
- One tool for recording and a rough cut. For a lot of shows that is genuinely enough production.
