Rappers like \[sensitive content hidden\] originate from soundcloud. I uploaded my songs to soundcloud at the minimum of 13 years ago and is still available to listen to them all. > > **Cons**: The only con that I can think of that soundcloud possess is that you have to have a monthly or yearly subscription to get the most out of your account. Older sites for music uploading like www.soundclick.com/ were free to upload as you pleased. Maybe soundcloud can learn from this and offer a better alternative to subscribing their users to become better seen when soundcloud isn't a production company and doesn't guarantee results. > > I was able to upload all the songs I ever started creating in FL Studio that I thought was worthy of listening to or that other people wouldn't mind listening to and would possibly enjoy the way my music made them feel. ----- ### "Great App\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Isaac** | *7 May 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: SoundCloud has been a great free platform, to present my music, to music lovers for years. It has great analytics and creates a "Community of Sound" good for any new professional recording artists to test the waters with their work\!\!\! > > **Cons**: You need a paid membership if you make more than 20 tracks to get the full benefit. > > I am overall impressed with the platform and how easy it is to upload and start seeing what people think about your music right away\! ----- ### "Variety of music" — 5.0/5 > **Alexis** | *19 February 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about SoundCloud is that they have a variety of music choices to choose from everyday. > > **Cons**: What I like least about SoundCloud is the price. I believe it can be more affordable for the people who enjoy it most. > > My overall experience with SoundCloud is to think about another app to use and have this on the side for variety as well. ----- ### "It used to be a great, boutique platform" — 3.0/5 > **M. Cristina** | *25 May 2025* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was one of the first product that allowed independent producers to publish and share their work with no strings attached. > > **Cons**: Unresponsive customer service and ignoring the fact that there was a lot of spam clogging the channel. > > I started being a paying customer 12 years ago, when SoundCloud was a boutique business based in Berlin. They were amazing, responsive, cool and there was a real community. I remember my surprise when one morning I woke up to realise that I had been nominated 'SoundClouder of the day'. That was about 12 years ago. But soon the people there changed, I think they changed ownership and it went downhill from there. The proliferation of spam accounts was particularly bad, and I don't remember ever anyone contacting me on that regard, despite my numerous complaints. Why didn't I leave? Because in 12 years, all my production had been uploaded and shared through their system. But then, when they changed their AI policy in Feb 2025, I finally left, losing in the process all my links, comments, download contacts etc. ----- ### "The music blaster" — 5.0/5 > **Cassandra** | *13 November 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about SoundCloud is that it's great to listen to music for free or you can pay for a subscription > > **Cons**: What I like least is that some songs are not the real copyright of regular music and downloads can cause viruses > > My overall experience with SoundCloud is great I love how you can make your own playlists and rewind songs with out any interruptions ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1013771/soundcloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1013771/soundcloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
