The Pros
and Cons

The Pros

• It’s a great way of kickstarting a song. Instead of starting from zero plays, you can start from a few thousand and quickly put things in gear.
• It helps strengthen your Social Credibility. A boost can make your song look very popular and will attract more people to listen to it.
• It can attract a lot of attention, including from the media, record companies and agents.
• It can make you go viral. While this isn’t always what happens, we have seen songs that went viral during our tests.
• Encourage Conversation and get people talking. You can buy Likes and Comments as well to get people talking.

The Cons

• The SoundCloud Plays are not targeted in most cases. While you can increase your plays, you can’t determine who listens to your music, or where they are in the world.
• In most cases, buying SoundCloud plays is only meant to boost your play count and nothing more – proper marketing is still important! There are exceptions; Devumi generated many real and noticeable results.
• Buying SoundCloud Plays isn’t exactly the most publicly acceptable practice, so you’ll have to keep things on the down low if you do it.
• Scams are everywhere. While we reviewed some really great companies, a lot of the companies we didn’t mention either didn’t deliver what they promised, or were intentionally trying to scam us. Be wary if you wander off our Top 10 List.
