SoundCloud Go+ unlocks full-catalog access, high-quality audio, ad-free listening and offline playback. If you want to pay for it directly on SoundCloud rather than through an app store, this guide walks you through what you need, how to check out, and how to troubleshoot a declined card using a Coinepay virtual card.
Before you start
A Coinepay virtual card comes with an instant card number, expiry date and CVV that you can use for online purchases such as AI subscriptions, software, advertising and streaming services. To create and use one, you first need to register and complete identity verification (KYC).
- Create your account and verify your identity at the Coinepay registration page.
- Install the Coinepay app from the App Store or Google Play, or use the 24/7 self-service dashboard.
- Issue a virtual card and make sure it has enough balance to cover the first billing period plus any small verification hold.
- Have your real billing details ready — the name and address on your Coinepay account. Use your genuine identity and address; never enter fake details to get around a merchant's checks.
SoundCloud's direct checkout lists Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal, and its Go help page also mentions Diners Club and Discover for website card payments. SoundCloud states it accepts credit or debit cards issued in Go launch territories, and the final methods shown can depend on the checkout presented to you. If you are unsure whether your card meets a requirement, contact Coinepay support to confirm before you buy.
Check that SoundCloud Go+ is available where you are
SoundCloud lists Go, Go+ and DJ in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, and specified continental European countries and territories. Track availability can still vary by rights-holder territory. The listener tiers are SoundCloud Go, SoundCloud Go+ and SoundCloud DJ, plus a discounted SoundCloud Go+ Student plan; Go+ is the one that adds full-catalog access and high-quality audio.
SoundCloud's Go/DJ terms prohibit purchases from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria, or by a denied party. Advertised free trials are not available in Québec, Canada. Always buy from the territory where you actually live, using your real billing address.
How much does SoundCloud Go+ cost?
Prices vary by region and by whether you buy on the web or through an app store. At the time of writing (October 2026), SoundCloud's Go checkout page displayed Go+ at $11.99/month in the U.S., while its general plans page showed Go+ at $10.99/month and Student at $5.99/month. App Store in-app listings showed different figures again (for example US Go+ at $14.99). Because these differ, treat them only as a guide and confirm the exact amount on SoundCloud's official checkout before you press purchase. Buying directly on SoundCloud's website usually avoids app-store markups.
Direct-billed Go, Go+ and DJ subscriptions renew in 30-day periods and are charged in advance. Eligible first-time users may see a 7-day Go or 30-day Go+ trial, after which charges apply unless you cancel in time.
Step-by-step: subscribe to Go+ on the web
- Go to soundcloud.com in a desktop or mobile browser and sign in (or create a SoundCloud account). Confirm your account email first.
- Open SoundCloud's plans or Go landing page and select SoundCloud Go+.
- When the payment step appears, choose to pay by card and enter your Coinepay virtual card number, expiry date and CVV.
- Enter the billing name and address exactly as they appear on your Coinepay account.
- Review the plan, price and renewal terms, then press the purchase or start-trial button. SoundCloud says your contract starts on its confirmation email or earlier activation.
- Watch for a confirmation email and check the subscription shows as active in your account.
Buying in the mobile app
To subscribe inside the iOS or Android SoundCloud app, open Settings and select the SoundCloud Go purchase button; your account email must already be confirmed. Note that in-app purchases are billed and managed through Apple's App Store or Google Play rather than SoundCloud directly, so prices and cancellation steps follow the store's rules. For a card-billed subscription you control from SoundCloud, the web checkout is the more direct route.
Students: a note on Go+ Student
Go+ Student must be purchased directly from SoundCloud and then verified through SheerID; it is not offered through Apple or Google Play. Eligibility must be renewed every 12 months, for up to four consecutive terms. You can still pay the Student rate with a card at the direct checkout once verification succeeds.
Managing and canceling your subscription
To update the card on a directly billed subscription, go to Subscriptions → Edit → Manage your billing. Switching to PayPal requires letting the current plan expire and starting a new subscription. If you issue a new Coinepay card, update it here before the next renewal so the charge does not fail.
To cancel a direct subscription, use a desktop or mobile browser and go to Subscriptions → Edit → Opt-out → Confirm and Cancel your Plan. An "EXPIRES" date confirms the cancellation. App Store and Google Play purchases must be canceled through those stores instead. After an ordinary cancellation, paid features remain until the end of the paid period, and SoundCloud says it does not refund delivered subscription periods simply because you canceled. Separately, SoundCloud's Go/DJ terms describe a 14-day European-law withdrawal right for eligible direct purchases, where reimbursement may be reduced for service already provided.
Troubleshooting a declined card
SoundCloud lists several possible causes of a failed payment: inaccurate or outdated details, an expired or incorrectly dated card, insufficient funds, and a bank or PayPal block. Some users have reported messages such as "payment declined, contact your bank or use another form of payment." Work through the checks below.
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Generic "payment declined" message | Insufficient balance for the full charge plus any hold | Top up your Coinepay card in the app and retry. |
| Card rejected immediately | Card number, expiry or CVV entered incorrectly | Re-enter the details exactly as shown in the Coinepay app. |
| "Contact your bank" error | Billing address mismatch or issuer block | Make sure the billing name and address match your Coinepay account; check your Coinepay dashboard for any decline. |
| Payment never completes | 3-D Secure / extra verification step missed | Watch for an approval prompt in the Coinepay app and confirm it promptly. |
| Checkout blocks the card type or region | Merchant region or card-type checks | Buy only from a territory where you live; contact Coinepay support to confirm your card meets the requirement. |
If a charge fails but you still see a temporary hold, it usually clears on its own. You can review every transaction and any decline reason in the Coinepay dashboard or app at any time. For card-side questions, reach Coinepay support or our Telegram channel; for subscription, plan or refund questions, contact SoundCloud directly. Learn more about Coinepay at the Coinepay home page.
