In a recent update to its iOS app, popular streaming music platform Soundcloud added a subscription model into the service that will provide users with a few premium monthly upgrades on top of the discoverability and personalization previously offered. As discovered by The Verge, the service is called "Soundcloud Go" and will run users $12.99 on a monthly basis with a free 30 day trial to test the waters beforehand.

These advantages include a bolstered track list, the ability to listen offline, and the removal of interspersed advertisements within playlists.
