About SoundCloud

SoundCloud is a digital music streaming platform that allows users to listen to a vast library of over 265 million music tracks for free. Users can access music online, making it a popular choice for individual listeners, artists, bands, DJs, and audio creators. The platform operates on a multifaceted business model, offering a free tier with ads and premium subscription plans like SoundCloud Go and SoundCloud Go+, which provide ad-free listening, offline access, and higher audio quality. Additionally, SoundCloud has a monetization program called SoundCloud Premier, which enables artists to earn money from their tracks through ad revenue and fan support. This focus on both music consumers and creators, along with its extensive library and community of content creators, sets SoundCloud apart from its competitors. The company's goal is to enrich the music experience for users while providing opportunities for artists to monetize their work.
