SoundCloud-specific things to know

A few things that might affect your SoundCloud cancellation.

Your playlists remain saved
When you cancel SoundCloud Go+, your playlists and likes are preserved. You'll just lose offline downloads and ad-free listening.
Free tier has limitations
After cancelling, you'll revert to the free tier which includes ads and limited skips. Your uploaded tracks remain available.
App store subscriptions work differently
If you subscribed through iOS or Android, cancel through your device's app store settings, not SoundCloud's website.

Before cancelling SoundCloud

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's billing you

Look at your credit card or bank statement to see if you're being charged by SoundCloud directly, Apple, or Google Play.

2. Access continues until period ends

You'll keep SoundCloud Go+ features until your current billing cycle ends, even after cancelling. No partial refunds are given.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing the SoundCloud app from your device won't cancel your subscription. You need to actively cancel through settings or app stores.

Other options to consider

If cost is the issue, you might be able to downgrade or find a better deal instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade to SoundCloud Go

SoundCloud offers a cheaper Go plan at $5.99/month if you don't need all the Go+ features but still want ad-free listening.

  • SoundCloud Go ($5.99/month) - Ad-free listening, no offline downloads

  • Free tier - Limited features with ads
