How hard is it to cancel SoundCloud Go?
SoundCloud Go scores 75/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app.
SoundCloud Go subscriptions can be cancelled online via desktop or mobile browser through the Subscriptions page; the app itself cannot process cancellations. Subscribers retain premium access (ad-free listening, offline downloads) through the end of the current billing cycle with no pro-rated refund for the remainder of the period. Users who subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play must cancel directly with those platforms. Upgrading or downgrading plans triggers an immediate prorated charge or refund.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
