Official plans page checked 2026-08-26. Third-party pages listing Premium at $9.99/month are not treated as official Adobe list prices because that dollar figure was not on the official plans page during verification.
Riverside's official pricing page lists Free at $0/month with 2 hours of one-off multi-track recording, 720p, a watermark, 44.1 kHz audio, and unlimited single-track recording.
