Trying to cancel SoundCloud Go? Avoid the runaround.
Can you cancel your SoundCloud Go subscription? Check eligibility and conditions
SoundCloud Go (and SoundCloud Go+) are monthly subscriptions you can cancel anytime in Australia. There’s no minimum subscription length, you’re simply opting out of the next renewal.
The big thing that determines how you cancel is where you subscribed:
- Subscribed via the SoundCloud website (web purchase): You can cancel through your SoundCloud account settings, but you’ll need to use a web browser (not the mobile app).
- Subscribed via Apple App Store (iPhone/iPad): You must cancel through your Apple ID Subscriptions settings. SoundCloud can’t cancel App Store subscriptions for you.
- Subscribed via Google Play (Android): You must cancel through Google Play subscriptions.
Free trials (when available) usually auto-renew into a paid plan unless you cancel before the trial ends. You can cancel during the trial, and your access typically continues until the trial expiry without converting to paid.
How to cancel a SoundCloud Go subscription, service or order
If you bought SoundCloud Go/Go+ on the SoundCloud website (web)
- Use a web browser (not the app)
Open SoundCloud in a browser (desktop is usually easiest). - Go to your Subscriptions page
Visit: https://soundcloud.com/you/subscriptions - Click “Edit” next to your plan
You’ll see your current plan status. Click "Edit" (often shown as a pencil/gear icon). - Choose “Cancel plan” / “Opt out of renewal”
Follow the prompts to opt out of auto-renewal. - Confirm your cancellation
Make sure you complete the final confirmation step. - Check your status shows “EXPIRES”
Your plan should update to show "EXPIRES" with an expiry date. That’s your proof you’ve cancelled renewal.
If you subscribed via Apple (iPhone/iPad)
- Go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions → SoundCloud → Cancel Subscription.
If you subscribed via Google Play (Android)
- Open Google Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → SoundCloud → Cancel.
Important: Deleting the SoundCloud app or closing your account does not automatically cancel subscriptions managed through Apple or Google.
How long does a SoundCloud Go cancellation take?
SoundCloud Go renews on a 30-day billing cycle. When you cancel, you’re usually stopping the next renewal, not ending access immediately.
What to expect:
- You can typically cancel right up until near the end of your current billing period.
- After cancelling, your subscription should show an expiry date, and you keep premium access until that date.
- To avoid accidental charges, it’s safest to cancel at least 24–48 hours before your renewal date (especially if you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, where renewals can process slightly ahead of time).
If you’re on a free trial, cancel before the trial end date to avoid rolling into a paid month.
SoundCloud Go cancellation fees and final charges – what to expect
SoundCloud does not charge a cancellation fee for ending SoundCloud Go or Go+.
What you may still “pay” for:
- If you cancel mid-cycle, you generally won’t get a pro-rata refund for unused days. Instead, you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.
The main risk of unwanted charges comes from cancelling in the wrong place:
- If you subscribed via Apple or Google, you must cancel via those platforms to stop renewals.

Consumer experiences with SoundCloud Go cancellations

Those trying to cancel inside the mobile app or who are logged into the wrong SoundCloud account typically run into cancellation issues.
SoundCloud Go Cancellation FAQs
Can you cancel SoundCloud Go or SoundCloud Go+ anytime in Australia, or is there a minimum term?
SoundCloud Go and SoundCloud Go+ are monthly subscriptions in Australia that you can cancel anytime with no minimum term. Cancelling simply opts you out of the next renewal, rather than ending access immediately. You’ll usually keep premium features until the end of your current billing period (or until your free trial expiry date), as long as you cancel before the renewal processes.
How do you cancel SoundCloud Go if you subscribed on the SoundCloud website?
If you bought SoundCloud Go on the SoundCloud website, you cancel in your SoundCloud account using a web browser, not the mobile app. Go to https://soundcloud.com/you/subscriptions, select “Edit” next to your plan, then choose “Cancel plan” or “Opt out of renewal” and complete the final confirmation step. Your proof is when your plan status updates to “EXPIRES” with an expiry date.
Why can’t SoundCloud cancel your subscription if you paid through Apple App Store or Google Play?
If you subscribed to SoundCloud Go through Apple App Store or Google Play, the subscription is controlled by Apple or Google, not SoundCloud. That means you must cancel through Apple ID Subscriptions on iPhone/iPad or through Google Play subscriptions on Android to stop renewals. Deleting the SoundCloud app or closing your SoundCloud account won’t automatically cancel App Store or Google Play billing.
When should you cancel SoundCloud Go to avoid another charge, especially on a free trial?
To avoid an unwanted SoundCloud Go charge, cancel before your renewal date or before your free trial end date. After cancelling, you should see an expiry date and keep access until that date. To be safe, cancel at least 24–48 hours before renewal, especially with Apple or Google Play where renewals can process slightly ahead of time. If you’re on a trial, cancelling stops it rolling into a paid month.
