真正的区别
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Riverside stands out with Local recording for studio quality and 4K video recording. Zoom counters with HD video and audio and Breakout rooms.
Riverside's Achilles heel: overkill for regular meetings — built for production, not for your daily standup or client call. Zoom's: 40-minute free limit is annoying — and the brand still carries ‘zoom fatigue’ baggage from the pandemic era. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
