SoundCloud Coupons & Promo Codes

There's definitely both sides to this one. Starting with what works: picked up over five hundred followers in nine months, got three hundred thirty five thousand total plays, monthly payments coming through, and their Amplify tool is really solid. Now the frustrating parts: the support team is basically nonexistent and doesn't actually fix anything, except they finally resolved a late payment recently. Original tracks I upload sometimes get flagged for copyright even though the system accepted them before. Monetization gets blocked on original material even though it was approved the last time I uploaded. When I ask about suspicious accounts they ignore me. The royalty free sample detector flags my stuff. I have to upload artwork individually for each track instead of all at once. They shut down some of their older payment features. The Amplify tool doesn't always turn on automatically even when I select it during upload, so I have to go back and do it manually on everything. This platform matters a lot to what I do professionally and I've gotten great results, which I'm grateful for. But these constant problems create so much frustration. I put in serious work on my channel but these issues waste tons of my hours. The bottom line is that customer support doesn't show they actually care about keeping artists happy. They offer vinyl selling now but I switched to a different company for that because the support here has been such a nightmare.

Just absolute garbage overall. Now there's like two ads before every single song so you're basically listening to commercials instead of music. They won't let you move your library over to competing services and won't even let me buy the premium option. And talking about ads, it's always the same annoying advertisement repeating constantly, probably because no real companies want to advertise here since they know the platform is terrible. Most of the time I don't bother leaving reviews but this place really got under my skin. Just go with Spotify instead.

The advertising is way too much. As someone on the free version, you can't even skip through the ads. This is ridiculous. Every website has commercials sure, but it's gotten out of control here. I seriously wish I could give negative stars because the ads alone ruin it. It's infuriating. Every single time you want to play a song, you sit through a full minute of ads first. I can't in good conscience suggest this to anybody.

Logged into my account today because I had a new track dropping, but got hit with a message saying my account was blocked for suspicious behavior. The system mentioned things like too many rapid clicks, possible bot usage, or developer console being open, but none of that happened. I literally just typed the URL and hit enter. Getting locked out of your own account right when you're supposed to release music is incredibly aggravating. Automatic blocking is fine, but there needs to be an easy immediate way to verify you're real and get back in. For musicians, this platform matters a lot, so getting blocked at the worst possible moment is a massive letdown. I'm waiting for a fix, but so far this whole thing has been really disappointing.

I've never experienced customer service this terrible. Signed up for their free trial promotion, only to get charged without permission. When I complained about it, they took forever to respond. Then they went ahead and cancelled my subscription that I'd already paid for. It doesn't matter how good the service itself is when the company treats customers like this. Won't be coming back.

Something went wrong. No funds were transferred. Please try again. Attempted to upgrade eight separate times today. What a disaster.

Subscribed to Artist Pro on this platform for over seven years, distributing through their Repost service to other major platforms. In late 2025, a previous musical partner made retaliatory copyright claims against two of my tracks, claiming he had exclusive vocal ownership even though he never authorized this. These claims are completely made up. We recorded those songs together in my studio back in 2019. He came over and did the vocals while I handled production, engineering, and equipment. There was never any written agreement saying he owned exclusive rights or that I couldn't release the music. For five years he never objected, but after some drama between us he suddenly decided to file false DMCA takedowns in late 2025 to destroy my reputation right before new releases. SoundCloud just accepted the claims without any real investigation, gave me strikes, and pulled my projects from all the streaming services. This has been devastating. My visibility tanked, my streams went down, and I lost income from tracks that were performing really well. I submitted detailed dispute explanations using their system explaining that I was the primary creator, but nothing has helped.

I check out this platform occasionally, but the app's reliability has gotten worse recently. Music cuts out sometimes when I switch between apps, and some playlists won't even open until I try a second or third time. The concept is great but something's off with how it's running lately.

Got locked out of my account on my computer with zero explanation given. Just poor management on their end. I deleted all my music and shut down my entire account completely. There's no way to even talk to someone about it. All they care about is making money. I'm going to build my own music hosting solution instead.

Need this removed right away. The app has taken over my entire phone.

The platform is flooded with people generating AI music garbage at crazy volumes and pushing it into your recommendations right next to actual talented creators like the ones I usually listen to. I report them constantly for spam. Also the algorithm seems to throw completely unrelated songs from unknown artists into my similar tracks section. And the customer support is pretty bad. They got rid of the actual support form and replaced it with an AI bot that doesn't work. I can't even submit real reports anymore for legitimate problems.

Couldn't get an account created no matter what I tried, and the system just kept rejecting me. Their AI chatbot was totally useless, and the actual support team wasn't any better either. I've sent multiple emails but they never respond, and when they do answer it's just generic stuff that doesn't help since I can't even get logged in.

The professional service has seen a drop off in how quickly they answer messages, which has made it harder to handle time sensitive requests.

Purchased a vinyl through a third party vendor and it showed up completely messed up. What came next was a nightmare of back and forth where the vendor pointed to the platform and the platform pointed to the vendor. Nobody wanted to acknowledge responsibility and neither side could provide any help, and this was after I had to wait weeks just to get a first response from the platform. I thought companies of their size would handle this better. The platform itself works okay for artists but the lack of accountability, customer service quality, and quality assurance is unacceptable. I eventually had to go through my credit card company to get my money back because both companies ignored me. The whole thing was incredibly frustrating and honestly this isn't even the first bad experience I've had with them. It's unfortunate because the service works well for the creator side, but the customer service is absolutely terrible.

I'd warn people to stay away from this platform. Years back my buddy and I made a funny Christmas Eve recording of Santa on the roof that he played through speakers in his attic to surprise his kid. We thought it'd be nice to put it out there in case other parents wanted to do the same thing, so I uploaded it here. It hung around for several years and got tons of listens, but then without any advance notice they just took it down. And here's the thing: we created the entire thing ourselves. All that's on it is my friend jingling some actual bells. We owned all the rights to it completely. There was absolutely no legal basis for them deleting it, but they did anyway for no apparent reason. My takeaway is that this is a company I can't trust with my work. If you need a dependable music platform, skip this one.
