Tools for your own music

SoundCloud Artist Pro is a creator subscription for uploading and managing music, rather than a listener upgrade. The plan includes expanded upload capabilities, audience insights and access to distribution and monetization tools under their respective requirements.

The current feature table also describes mastering credits and other artist tools. Check the exact allowances and eligibility before choosing a plan for an upcoming release.

Plan a complete release

This can suit an artist who wants a place to share tracks, review listener activity and prepare distribution to supported streaming services. A useful test begins with one finished track and complete release information.

Gather artwork, credits, rights information and accurate artist metadata before submitting. Distribution and monetization are review-based services; a subscription is not a guarantee of acceptance, playlist placement, audience growth or earnings.

Subscription and promotional access

Eligible partner promotions may offer an introductory period, but the standard pricing page determines the plan available to your account. Review the full charge, billing frequency and renewal date before purchasing.

Artist Pro is separate from SoundCloud Go and Go+, which focus on listening. Discounts or related benefits do not mean the two products are interchangeable. Check which account will own and manage your artist catalog.

Build a manageable workflow

Open the official artist pricing page and compare Artist with Artist Pro. Sign in to the correct creator account, review the terms and choose a billing option that matches your plans.

Upload a properly labeled track, explore the audience dashboard and review distribution requirements before submitting a release. Keep source files and metadata outside the platform as your own project records, and check what happens to uploads and features if the subscription changes.
