Loss-making Spotify and Apple Music rival SoundCloud Go is getting aggressive on price.
SOUNDCLOUD GO GOES SUPER-CHEAP IN $1 FOR THREE MONTHS PROMOTION.
A subscription to the premium on-demand streaming service’s top tier offering typically weighs in at $9.99-per-month.
But in a fresh promotion, new users to the service can sign up to three months of access for just $1.
The discount mirrors similar promotions run by Spotify at various points in the last few years, which have helped Daniel Ek’s streaming service attract a spike in paid-for sign-ups.
SoundCloud usually offers users three price tiers: access to its standard platform remains free, or consumers can upgrade to the no frills version of SoundCloud Go for $4.99 a month.
The $4.99 product offers users offline listening and no ads, but does not include access to the premium catalogues of major and indie labels.
For that, users have to sign up to SoundCloud Go+, which retails at $9.99-per-month – but is now available for a limited period at the $1 for three months level.
