I was subscribed to Soundcloud as an artist paying a Monthly fee Soundcloud promise to promote your music if you join there Artist Pro Subscription however after joining I noticed my views likes etc where actually a lot less then before I subscribed friends told me they could not find me on the Soundcloud search bar all in all not a good experience and I would say to anyone joining think hard before parting with your money

They are not playing the game with free plan
It is quite a well-built plateform from the digital space point of view.
Apart from that, they offer a "free" plan, but they are not playing the game. The content (180 minutes) that you will put here won't really be listened (or what I produce is really awful).
Thus I'm reluctant to go for the charged plan, even if it is reasonnable price. I've asked them a question one month ago and I still have no answer.
The only benefit I can get from this site is to provide a repository thaving a simple seach URL to share with my friends.
I'm looking for something fairer and more serious ...

I was blind and didn’t look for reviews…
I was blind and didn’t look for reviews before I pay for artists pro pack. Worst mistake ever. You pay just to have music released on their own platform. If you want to distribute don’t bother it’s pain in the a$$ and you will never be able to se your music out there. It is only a bot company no human to speak. I wish I could be able to do something to get my money back…….. Soundcloud if by any chance a human from your company sees this……….🖕

Terrible Customer Support – Over a Month Without Help
I’ve been trying to get in touch with SoundCloud Support for over a month regarding a simple request to change my billing cycle from yearly to monthly (Ticket #3324461), and I have yet to receive a real response.
At first, I was told they were experiencing high volumes of requests, which I understood. But after weeks of waiting and multiple follow-ups, I only received automated responses telling me to use their Help Center – which is useless when their chatbot won’t even respond.
I even tried reaching out through different channels, and nothing. At this point, it feels like SoundCloud doesn’t care about its paying users. If they’re going to offer subscriptions, they should at least have a functional support system for billing issues.
This experience has made me reconsider my subscription, and I would not recommend SoundCloud to anyone who expects real customer service. Fix your support system!

Die Musikauswahl ist sehr groß, aber Community ist ihnen egal
Die Musikauswahl ist sehr groß, da auch kleine Künstler ihre Werke hier vorstellen können. Will man allerdings die offiziellen Tracks großer Artists hören, kann es vorkommen, dass man dafür ein Abo brauch. Finde ich auch ok, dass Künstler für ihre Arbeit Geld erhalten sollen.
Aber das größte Problem, das mich schon seit Jahren nervt, die Shuffle-Funktion.
Die ist nicht wirklich random, sondern spielt immer wieder die selben Tracks ab. Wenn ich meine gesamten Likes zufällig abspielen will, kann ich das über Soundcloud selbst vergessen. Die weigern sich auch seit Jahren diesen Mist zu fixen! Viele Benutzer haben das selbe Problem und ich bin mit meinem Ärger nicht allein.
Richtig schwach, so eine simple Änderung mit so viel Mehrwert einfach nicht umzusetzen. Die Community ist ihnen wohl komplett egal.
Selbst wenn das so gewollt wäre, um z. B. dem Hörer seine aktuellen Tracks abzuspielen, sollte es eine extra Option geben, mit der man RICHTIGEN shuffle-Mode einstellen kann.

Soundcloud Artist Pro subscription
Soundcloud Artist Pro subscription.
My experience has been as follows.
Zero support from humans.
Talking to Bots with no resolve.
Nothing but Bot account interactions.
No real account streams.
Getting stopped on Copyright issues when you are the original artist and using royalty free samples.
Absolute waste of time and money.
I want a full refund of my Artist Pro subscription and I will be escalating this to the Australian government to investigate.
Ripping off artist and listeners.
Please do not use this platform.
It is 💯 scam.
I will be making YouTube videos in the near future to ensure others do not have the same experience as myself.

3 times my songs have been disabled on…
3 times my songs have been disabled on SoundCloud due to copyright because the song was previously created by.... ME !.
I have filed a copyright claim but they don't bother to answer me. I respect they are protecting us composers BUT they need to take people into this automation and correct their errors. Read this.
