How to Cancel SoundCloud Go or Go+ in 2026
SoundCloud Go+ costs $9.99/month for offline listening and ad-free playback. If you mainly use SoundCloud for discovering underground music and DJ sets, the free tier handles that perfectly. Here's how to cancel.
Cancel on Web
- Go to soundcloud.com/settings/account
- Click Manage under your subscription
- Click Cancel subscription
- Confirm — you keep premium access until end of billing period
Cancel on iPhone/Android
- iPhone: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → SoundCloud → Cancel
- Android: Play Store → Profile → Subscriptions → SoundCloud → Cancel
SoundCloud Plans
- Free: Ad-supported streaming, limited skips, no offline mode
- Go ($4.99/mo): Ad-free, offline listening, no skip limits
- Go+ ($9.99/mo): Everything in Go + full catalog access (including major label music)
SoundCloud's Unique Value: Free Tier
SoundCloud's free tier is actually unique among music platforms:
- Millions of tracks you won't find on Spotify or Apple Music
- DJ mixes, remixes, and bootlegs (legal gray area content)
- Underground and independent artists
- Upload your own music (free: 3 hours of uploads)
- Comments on specific timestamps
For Artists: Cancel SoundCloud Pro
If you're an artist paying for SoundCloud's creator plans:
- Next Pro ($8/mo): Unlimited uploads, distribution to Spotify/Apple Music, monetization
- Next Plus ($3/mo): 6 hours upload, basic stats
Cancel at soundcloud.com/settings/account → Manage subscription. If you're distributing music through SoundCloud, switch to DistroKid ($22.99/year) or TuneCore before canceling.
Free Alternatives
- Spotify Free: Larger mainstream catalog, shuffle-only on mobile
- YouTube Music Free: Huge catalog, ad-supported, background play on web
- Bandcamp: Support indie artists directly, free streaming
- Audiomack: Free, ad-supported, strong hip-hop and R&B catalog
💡 Pro tip: If you're paying for Go+ just for mainstream music, switch to Spotify or YouTube Music free tiers — they have better mainstream catalogs. Keep SoundCloud free for the underground tracks you can't find anywhere else.
Annual Savings: $60-$120/Year
SoundCloud Go saves $60/year; Go+ saves $120/year. If mainstream music is your priority, Spotify Free + SoundCloud Free is a more powerful combination than SoundCloud Go+ alone.
