Der wahre Unterschied
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Google Meet stands out with No download required (browser-based) and Meeting recordings (paid). Riverside counters with Local recording for studio quality and 4K video recording.
Google Meet's Achilles heel: feature-light compared to zoom — no breakout rooms on free plan, limited recording, fewer controls. Riverside's: overkill for regular meetings — built for production, not for your daily standup or client call. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Fazit
If you value no download required (browser-based) and google workspace-teams, die reibungslose, go with Google Meet. If podcaster und content creator, matters more, Riverside is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
