SoundCloud rolls out subscriptions in Mexico
SoundCloud just launched subscriptions in Mexico, with local pricing, tools for artists, DJ support, and more.
SoundCloud just dropped some news for the Mexican music scene, they’ve officially launched their subscription plans in Mexico. The platform that’s helped launch the careers of countless artists and DJs is now stepping things up for fans and creators across the country, and it could be a game-changer?
Whether you’re a casual listener, an obsessive crate digger, or an up-and-coming artist trying to get your music heard, this rollout has something for you.
Mexico isn’t just a good choice for expansion, it’s one of the fastest-growing music markets in the world. The country recently entered the top 10 global markets for recorded music, and it’s home to some of the most exciting and genre-bending sounds in Latin America. Whether it’s reggaetón, regional Mexican, hyperpop, or indie electronica, Mexican listeners and artists are driving serious cultural momentum.
What’s on offer?
So what exactly does this mean for users in Mexico? SoundCloud is rolling out a full menu of subscription plans, including:
- SoundCloud Go – Ad-free listening and offline access, perfect for everyday music fans.
- SoundCloud Go+ – Unlocks the full catalog, including premium tracks and better audio quality. Think of it as the deep-dive version.
- SoundCloud DJ – Built specifically for DJs, this plan gives full access to SoundCloud’s massive library and integrates with DJ software like Serato and Virtual DJ.
- Student Discounts – Yep, SoundCloud’s giving students a break with cheaper rates (thankfully).
All of this comes with local pricing, which means it’s tailored to be affordable for the Mexican market, a big plus in a region where price points really matter.
The best part? It’s not just listeners who benefit. Artists in Mexico can now access SoundCloud’s Artist and Artist Pro subscriptions, also priced for the local market. These give creators the tools to track their stats, promote their tracks, and, most importantly, start earning money from their music when it’s streamed in Mexico.
Until now, many independent Mexican artists using SoundCloud didn’t have a way to monetize directly from local plays. That changes with this launch.
In a statement, SoundCloud’s CEO Eliah Seton said, “Mexico is one of the most exciting and culturally dynamic music scenes in the world. It’s a place where new sounds are born, and where fans discover them first on SoundCloud.”
This move makes SoundCloud way more accessible in a country where music is part of everyday life. It also levels the playing field a bit. Artists don’t need a major label deal to make money, just good music and a fanbase that can actually support them through streams and subscriptions.
Plus, it opens the door for more DJs to legally stream and mix using SoundCloud DJ. That means better sets, more exposure for underground music, and more love for artists who might not be getting the same attention on other platforms.
SoundCloud’s launch in Mexico is a big deal — not just for what it means technically, but for how it empowers the country’s creators and connects fans to more music they love. Whether you’re making music, mixing tracks, or just listening on the way to work, the SoundCloud experience in Mexico just got a whole lot better.
