SoundCloud launches all-in-one artist subscription

SoundCloud has launched two new additions to its Artist and Artist Pro subscription, with the aim of giving creators the tools they need to distribute, monetise, and grow their audience in one place.

SoundCloud will eliminate its distribution revenue share at the end of November 2025, enabling artists to keep 100% of their royalties starting with the next payout cycle. This includes distribution on all major platforms, including: TikTok, Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and 50+ more.

SoundCloud will offer direct fan-to-artist support built right into profiles, with zero commission from SoundCloud, as well as on demand vinyl where artists can turn tracks into vinyl without leaving SoundCloud. Additionally, artists can also showcase their off platform purchase options and merchandise directly alongside their music.

Artists who monetise directly on SoundCloud have always kept 100% of their SoundCloud royalties. This update extends that same benefit to distribution royalties, which are artist’s earnings from platforms like TikTok, Spotify and YouTube Music. Along with passing through 100% of distribution royalties to artists and improving distribution pricing, SoundCloud is also expanding fan-to-artist connections with its new Fan Support feature.

Using Fan Support, artists can add a support button directly on their profile, giving fans the ability to contribute any amount they choose. Fans who donate are highlighted with a new Fan Support spotlight, bringing together a list of top contributors directly on the artist profile page. 100% of contributions go to the artist. SoundCloud will not take a commission. This means artists keep more of their streaming and distribution earnings.

“SoundCloud has always been about putting artists first,” said Eliah Seton, CEO of SoundCloud. “With this launch, we’re taking that mission further by giving artists an all-in-one subscription, including distribution without detours, community without barriers, and monetisation without compromise, including direct support from their fans.”

As part of the launch, SoundCloud is spotlighting the artists who’ve been piloting these features: “SoundCloud let me go from uploading ideas in my room to running my own operation. I can release music, talk to fans, and turn their support into real movement," said artist DXRKNOVA "It’s wild that I can handle everything from releases to merch without leaving the platform.”

The All-in-One Artist Subscription is available now. Existing Artist and Artist Pro subscribers will automatically gain access to these new features, and new creators can join today at soundcloud.com/distribution/all-in-one.
