What currency is Riverside priced in?

All of Riverside's prices are listed and billed in USD¹. This applies to users in Singapore and everywhere else around the world. Payments can be made via Stripe using any major credit or debit card.

You might also encounter a couple of other scenarios where your business in Singapore gets billed for a business software in a foreign currency rather than SGD. By understanding these scenarios, you can take proactive steps to manage your billing effectively and avoid unnecessary foreign transaction fees.

💡Considerations for Cross-Currency Billing:
Centralised Payment Systems: If your business (eg. a Singapore subsidiary) uses a centralised payment system or corporate credit card based in another country, your subscription might be linked to this system, resulting in billing in the currency of the payment system rather than SGD. This can lead to additional currency conversion fees.
Initial Account Setup: If your subscription was initially set up by your business in another country before establishing a branch in Singapore, the account might still be billed in the original currency unless updated. This is another scenario where you might incur cross-currency charges.

Using a multi-currency account card like Wise Business allows you to save on costs by giving you access to mid-market exchange rates, with no hidden markups or foreign transaction fees.

Who is the Free plan best for?

The Free plan is a great way to test out Riverside’s platform. It offers unlimited single-track recording and up to 2 hours of multi-track recording, which is fine for shorter projects or casual use.

If 720p video quality meets your needs and you're okay with a watermark on your recordings, there's no reason not to use this plan. However, if you need higher-quality video, more recording flexibility, or watermark-free content, one of the paid plans may be a better fit.

Riverside Standard Plan pricing

The Standard plan costs 19 USD per month when billed monthly or 180 USD per year (equivalent to 15 USD per month) with the yearly plan.

Features included in Standard plan

The Standard plan offers everything in the Free plan, as well as:

It's a great choice if you're aiming to create professional-looking content on a budget. Features like tools to clean up speech by removing "ums" and "uhs," along with 4K resolution, can make a big difference.

Ways to save on your Riverside bill next month

If you’re a Singapore-based business using Riverside, there are a few smart ways to keep your monthly costs in check.

1. Choose the right plan: Riverside offers four different plans, each with its own features and pricing. Analyse which plan best fits your team’s needs and budget.
2. Audit usage: If you're paying for the Live Studio add-on or features included in a paid plan that your team doesn’t actually use, it may be time to downgrade. Also, make sure you’re only paying for the number of seats your team needs.
3. Avoid hidden fees: Riverside bills in USD, like many SaaS platforms. This means you might be incurring foreign transaction fees from your bank or credit card provider, which can quietly increase your monthly cost and chip away at your profit margins.

Consider using the Wise Business multicurrency card to pay for your Riverside subscription. You'll enjoy the mid-market exchange rate with no hidden markups and low, transparent conversion fees.
