How much Spotify cost in the states? As a Swede it costs 99kr which is more than $9. I use Groove and that costs $9 which translates to about 79kr or something

It's 20% cheaper for a little less content and a not as good client. The lesser price alone makes the service worth it.
- aiw1nters 11y agoprice is the same with Spotify. But SoundCloud has 125m tracks vs 30m from Spotify
- ams6110 11y agoI don't have Spotify but I do have Google Play Music/Youtube Red. I don't really care about the video part of YouTube but there is a lot of music there and the ad-free is nice. But I actually love the Soundcloud interface, apparently others don't. Very simple, and the ability to move forwards and backwards within a track is so much better than on Google/Youtube's player. If SoundCloud can offer the major label catalogs as well as all the indy and artist content that they have now, I'd very likely switch over.
- coldtea 11y agoSo, we're talking 20% cheaper for less content and worse client? How does that make the service "worth it"? It sounds like subpar crap in every way but price, and even at that it's nothing to write home about either (a measly $2.5 savings). If one can afford $9/month, I don't see how $11.5 month are prohibiting for a better experience and more content.
- staticelf 11y agoWell, it's not super bad and the content is almost as good. It's not 20% worse. The big thing for me is that Groove works on Xbox, which I have and listen to, otherwise I used to be a Tidal customer. But I know there is a Tidal UWP app coming, then I will switch back.
