Free
SoundCloud Plays – & High-quality Plays

The free tier is built for testing, not scaling: 50 plays, once per link, once every 24 hours. That's enough to see the effect on a single track, but it's a pace that won't keep up with an artist releasing regularly or launching something time-sensitive.

Paid packages remove that daily cap entirely — you can order the exact quantity you need, whenever you need it, priced per 1,000 so cost scales with volume rather than guesswork. Delivery still runs gradually either way, just without waiting a full day between orders.

Most artists use the free tier to confirm the idea works, then move to paid once they know which tracks are worth the investment.

Use the free order on a track you genuinely want to test, not a random one — comparing a boosted track's performance against a similar unboosted track tells you more than the play count alone ever will.

Beyond that, the usual basics still apply: the track needs to be public, the link needs to be correct, and this is a trial of the effect, not a substitute for music worth listening to in the first place.
