Ringr
Veteran remote-interview app with unlimited recording, split tracks, and a mobile-first approach.
Our take
Ringr has been around since before Riverside existed and still does one thing well — record clean two-to-four-person remote interviews with split tracks. Audio-only, no video, no transcripts. At $7.99/mo Basic and $18.99/mo Premium, it's cheap. Interface looks like 2018 but it works.

In depth
Ringr predates the Riverside era of browser studios and has quietly kept doing its thing for nearly a decade. The product is a remote-interview recorder for audio podcasts, with mobile apps on iOS and Android, desktop apps, and a browser version.
Each side records locally and the files sync to Ringr's cloud, where the host downloads split tracks. For a podcaster who wants the local-recording quality of Riverside without needing video, this is one of the cheapest options around — Basic at $7.99/mo is striking when most competitors have crept past $20.
Unlimited calls and unlimited cloud storage are real differentiators in a market where every tool caps recording hours. The Premium tier at $18.99/mo unlocks more than two participants, split tracks, and higher-quality codec settings, and is necessary for most working podcasters.
The downsides are obvious: no video, no live streaming, no AI features, and an interface that looks like it was designed before video podcasts mattered. If your show is audio-only and conversational, those gaps may not matter.
The 30-day Premium free trial lets you test split tracks before paying anything. As a workhorse audio-only remote interview app, Ringr remains an underrated value pick.
