$12 a month seems a little steep. Especially when compared to Apple Music and Spotify.

It's 12$ for iOS users, due to Apple cut of 30%. for all the other platforms is 9.9$.

for once I welcome this disparity, is a good thing that the users knows the real cost of picking a platform/phone.

it's $9.99 not $12.

125m tracks vs 30m (of Spotify) + offline listening (same with Spotify) + no ads makes it a killer proposition!

125m tracks made mostly by guys dinking around with Ableton in their bedroom vs 30m tracks from artists you might actually have heard of. Whatever the proposition in pure numbers is doesn't matter when your experience will suck.

but looks like SoundCloud will have all the Spotify tracks, so still it's a win for them. Plus there are many great mixtapes, podcasts and indie artists there!

If you're suggesting otherwise, Spotify also has offline listening and no ads. Sorry if I misread!
