SoundCloud has rebooted its paid membership plan with a new budget option less than a year after it was first launched.
The Berlin-based company today revealed a cheaper tier of $4.99 per month, down from the initial $9.99 subscription that it rolled out last March , in a bid to make its plans more appealing to users. The company isn’t abandoning that higher pricing, though, and it will offer both $4.99 and $9.99 packages, known as SoundCloud Go and SoundCloud Go+, respectively.
The cheaper option gives users full ad-free access to over 120 million tracks, with the option of saving offline on mobile. SoundCloud Go+, by contrast, includes access to a wider selection of 150 million songs and no previews. It isn’t clear which tracks will be unavailable via the cheaper deal, but to sweeten things a little more, SoundCloud Go+ will include “additional exclusive product features” that’ll be announced later this year, according to the company.
