SoundCloudReviews of soundcloud.com

Another wood to the fire. Soundcloud over the years become worst, the new login system two autentication factor doesn't help and doesnt work fast, as matter fact doesnt work, and I have to decline my debit card to take down the subscription, the support is negligence, doesnt exist, the new design is ugly with that colour black and white, the clássic is missing. They finish with the free share groups community, now he have to pay if we want to promote our músic,somtimes they block the posts and some copy infrigment is not rigth with the músic we publish, for djs is not the best choice for that reason, what more I have to say? They don't give a dawm!.. Oh, almost forget they erase your músic if you not continue subscription and if you want listen the extended músic other's without login you can't! In conclution the worst and famous platform músic of our days!

The platform's features seem to be pretty nice and helpful especially for emerging artists but when it comes to reality, they are more time and money consuming rather than making your stuff grow, and their support team ain't no trustworthy.

I've been on SoundCloud for over eight years, and even pro artists used to say it was great. I've connected, personally, with some musicians I really enjoy, and have had a chance to share my own musical creations. However, the last several months I've been running into several problems, and support is NON-EXISTENT. Their own documentation tells you to do things you can't do to fix errors, so I submit a report and wait (and wait, and wait - it's been a month now, still no response). On top of that, someone is now trying to scam me and use my music illegally, and their pages and bots literally won't even allow me to submit a report. They promote and promote and promote their subscriptions, yet just take your money and run. I'm on a Pro trial right now, and they still can't be bothered. No doubt I will never give them a cent. They don't care about artists, they just want your money.

There was not enough sound in the cloud. no stars.

Ticket Nummer: SC 4313580. seit 30.03.2026. Artist Pro Systemfehler: 98 % Play-Einbruch nach Bot-Angriff – SoundCloud ignoriert 6 Mails meines Support-Tickets SC 4313580 Letzte Frist gesetzt, dann Charge Back per 11.04.2026. Bechreibung des Problems: • Algorithmische Bestrafung durch Bots: Am 27. März wurde mein Profil von über 12 Bot-Accounts ins Visier genommen (z. B. „COOL VIBE“, „MUSIC POWER“ und ein Ryan Caraveo-Imitator). Mein organisches Wachstum vom Januar (über 700 Plays) wurde im März durch einen algorithmischen Kollaps von -98 % erstickt. • Stagnation trotz Verdoppelung des Inhalts: Im Januar erreichte 1 von 3 Tracks 736 Plays. Vor einer Woche habe ich 3 zusätzliche neue Tracks hochgeladen (insgesamt 6). Trotz eines aktiven „Artist Pro Push“ sind meine Statistiken bei exakt 736 Plays eingefroren. Der Algorithmus interpretiert die Bot-Aktivität fälschlicherweise als mangelndes Interesse und tötet meine Reichweite. • Der „Blockierte-bleiben-Follower“-Bug: Ein kritischer Bug verhindert die Bereinigung der Analytics: Blockierte Bots bleiben in der Follower-Liste und verzerren permanent die Engagement-Raten. Dies verstößt gegen das Versprechen „präziser Metriken“ (Vertrag §3.1). Support-Status: Ich habe 6 detaillierte E-Mails (Ticket offen seit dem 30. März) mit Screenshots von Bot-Skripten und Analytics-Beweisen gesendet. Obwohl ich ein zahlender Abonnent bin, habe ich seit über 5 - 6 Tagen keine menschliche Antwort erhalten. Forderung: Ich fordere die Löschung aller über 12 identifizierten Bot-Accounts und eine manuelle Neuanalyse meiner Reichweite. Meine Frist ist der 10.April, 24:00 Uhr. Wenn keine Maßnahmen ergriffen werden, wird ein PayPal-Chargeback eingeleitet. Beweis der Stagnation (der 736-Plays-Freeze): Profil: musikalikonga

First the good: Added 500+ followers in last 9 months 335k plays in last 9 months monthly royalty payments Amplify feature excellent Now the bad: bad/lazy support. No issues resolved (and there's been many issues) except for recent late payment issue(resolved). Original tracks get blocked due to copyright for upload even though system has accepted them before. Original tracks get blocked for monetization even though monetization accepted on previous upload. No response when asked about fake/bot accounts Copyright scanner blocks royalty free samples. Desktop artwork must be uploaded per track, not bulk. Closing of other paid/promotional options. Amplify feature doesn't always work even though set on upload. Have to manually amplify each track. Soundcloud is very important to my career and i've had great results which i do appreciate. But the above problems cause continual headaches. I work very hard wit my soundcloud channel but the above issues cause countless wasted hours of my time. Bottom line is my experience with support doesn't really reflect that they care, hence writing this review. SC offers vinyl selling but ive gone direct with elastic stage since i've had such bad support experience and dont want to rely on them further. 'Come On Soundcloud, get it together!'

Soundcloud repeatedly fails to update your email account, blocks you from using your account because of it, and only offers a big sloppy confusing pile of help articles that do nothing to fix the issue. It's best to stick to youtube and bandcamp & avoid this clown show

I am using this platform for about a year and have uploaded almost 100 tracks without any problems. For me it is a good experience and I am discovering new possibilities in combination with AI tools.
