How to cancel SoundCloud
In a web browser (not the SoundCloud app), sign in at soundcloud.com/you/subscriptions, click Edit on your plan, then Opt-out of your current plan and Confirm and Cancel your Plan. This works for Go, Go+, DJ, Artist and Artist Pro. You keep the plan until the paid period ends, and SoundCloud does not refund the rest. Subscribed in the App Store or Google Play? Cancel in the store. On Artist or Artist Pro, releases distributed through SoundCloud are taken down 30 days after the plan ends.
Why this score?
Computed from five weighted dimensions: required steps, retention friction, channel restrictions, refund policy, and recovery hostility. See the full rubric.
