R
Riverside records each participant locally in the browser rather than capturing a compressed stream, which means remote interviews come out at full quality even on a bad connection. It handles separate tracks per speaker, automatic transcription, and clip creation for social. The free tier allows limited recording time.
Where it falls short
It depends on participants having a stable browser session, and pricing is aimed at teams producing regularly.
