Where EasyCast Leads
Three AI capabilities that neither Riverside nor Descript offer — included in every paid plan.
AI Silence Removal
Automatically detects and removes dead air and awkward pauses. Save 30–60 minutes of manual editing per episode.
AI Filler Word Removal
Auto-detects "um", "uh", "like", "you know" and offers one-click removal. Makes every speaker sound polished.
AI Viral Clip Suggestions
LLM-powered analysis finds your most share-worthy moments and formats them for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.
Why Creators Switch to EasyCast
“I was paying $39/mo for Riverside Pro. EasyCast Pro is cheaper and ships features Riverside simply doesn't have. It was an obvious switch.”
Sarah J.
Tech Podcast Host
“The AI silence and filler removal saves me two hours per episode. That alone is worth more than the entire subscription price.”
Michael C.
Business Coach
“We manage 15 client podcasts. The team workspace is built-in — Riverside would charge us per seat. EasyCast Business pays for itself in week one.”
Emma P.
Podcast Agency Director
