What is the difference between a Pro and a Premium subscription?
Our Pro and Premium subscriptions offer a completely separate range of benefits as they've been created with different users in mind.
Premium gives you an unrestricted listening experience to all public shows on Mixcloud and is great for casual users who want extra features and an ad-free experience.
Pro is specifically tailed for creators looking to upload, share, and engage with their listeners.
Please note: to enjoy both unlimited uploading, and a totally unrestricted listening experience, you will need to have both a Pro and a Premium subscription.
What is the difference between a Premium and a Channel subscription?
As a fan, you can subscribe to a creator's channel for a small monthly fee and get rewards and benefits in return. By subscribing to a creator's channel, you're directly supporting the creator and the artists behind the music they play in their shows.
With a Premium subscription, you can enjoy an unrestricted listening experience on all public content available on Mixcloud. Creators' exclusive content is still restricted for Premium subscribers.
