SoundCloud is a fantastic platform for music lovers, whether you are streaming tracks, supporting your favorite artists, or even sharing your own creations. However, there may come a time when you want to cancel your SoundCloud subscription. Maybe you’re cutting down on expenses, or perhaps you aren’t using the premium features anymore.
Don’t worry! Canceling your SoundCloud subscription is much easier than you think. In this blog, I will walk you through every single step in a simple, human-friendly way. Whether you’re using SoundCloud Go, SoundCloud Go+, or SoundCloud Pro, this guide will help you cancel the subscription hassle-free.
Let’s get started!
What You Need to Know Before Canceling SoundCloud Subscriptions
Before you dive into canceling, there are a few things you should be aware of:
- Cancellation Timing Matters: If you cancel mid-billing cycle, your subscription remains active until the current period ends. This means you still get to use your premium features until the next billing date.
- No Refund Policy: Unfortunately, SoundCloud does not usually issue refunds for canceled subscriptions. Make sure to cancel before the renewal date to avoid extra charges.
- Platform of Purchase: Did you subscribe through the SoundCloud website, Apple App Store, or Google Play? The cancellation process depends on where you subscribed.
Understanding these points can make the process a lot smoother. Now, let’s jump into the steps!
