Troubleshooting

If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or another third party, you'll need to cancel through that platform's subscription management system, not through SoundCloud's website.
SoundCloud doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your playlists or saved music.
- Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
- Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
- Make sure you clicked "Opt-out of your subscription renewal" on the cancellation page
- Contact SoundCloud support if charges continue after the cancellation date

You've successfully canceled your SoundCloud Go+ subscription! You'll continue to enjoy ad-free music, offline downloads, and other Go+ features until the end of your current billing period. After that, you'll be switched to SoundCloud Free (with ads).
