ElevenLabs has connected its ElevenMusic app to SoundCloud. Since November 5, 2026, people who make a song in ElevenMusic can send it straight to their SoundCloud profile instead of downloading the file and uploading it by hand. The deal also comes with a free trial of ElevenMusic Pro for SoundCloud Artist Pro members.
It matters for two reasons. SoundCloud is the first platform outside ElevenMusic where its users can publish directly, and the tracks arrive with a label that says where they came from.
What changed
According to the ElevenLabs announcement, the setup has three parts:
- In ElevenMusic, open your profile settings, go to Linked Accounts and connect your SoundCloud account.
- Open an original track you made in ElevenMusic and add a description, genre and tags.
- Click "Save to SoundCloud". ElevenLabs says the track then uploads straight to your SoundCloud profile.
Before this, The Next Web reports, users had to download their tracks from ElevenMusic and upload them to SoundCloud themselves. The same report says SoundCloud is the first platform outside ElevenMusic where users can publish their creations directly. SoundCloud's CEO Eliah Seton said in a statement quoted by TechCrunch that SoundCloud is "becoming the first platform to bring ElevenMusic creations directly to fans beyond its own ecosystem."
Note the word "original" in the ElevenLabs instructions. The announcement describes publishing "an original track you've created in ElevenMusic". It does not say whether remixes of other artists' songs made inside the app can go to SoundCloud this way.
AI labels on SoundCloud
Tracks sent through the integration carry a label that identifies ElevenMusic as their source, according to The Next Web, "making the use of AI visible to listeners." The same report says SoundCloud prohibits AI-generated content that misleads audiences about its origins or creators, including music that impersonates other artists.
The label is applied as part of the upload. None of the announcements say how the label looks on the SoundCloud track page or whether a user can remove it later.
SoundCloud's own announcement says tracks published directly from ElevenMusic carry "platform-specific disclosures identifying ElevenMusic as their creation source," and that music published through the integration is subject to SoundCloud's existing content policies, including ownership and rights requirements.
The SoundCloud Artist Pro offer
The partnership comes with a trial. The ElevenLabs post says SoundCloud Artist Pro members can get three months of ElevenMusic free, "Then it's $9.99/mo unless you cancel." The promotion terms, last updated November 5, 2026, add the fine print:
- The offer is three months of ElevenMusic Pro. It is run by ElevenLabs, not SoundCloud.
- You must be 18 or over (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) and have an active SoundCloud Artist Pro subscription when you link the accounts.
- You link your ElevenMusic account to SoundCloud Artist Pro and add a valid payment card. The free months start on the day both are done.
- After three months, the plan continues as paid ElevenMusic Pro at the then-current monthly price, which the terms list as currently $9.99 per month plus any applicable taxes, unless you cancel.
- Existing ElevenMusic Pro subscribers who pay monthly are not charged for their next three monthly payments. Annual subscribers are not eligible.
- The claim window runs from November 5, 2026 to 11:59pm UK time on October 31, 2027. One offer per person and per SoundCloud account.
What ElevenMusic Pro includes
As of November 2026, the ElevenMusic pricing page lists two plans:
- Free, $0: 25 songs a day, commercial use with a "Made with ElevenMusic" credit, upload your own music, 5 downloads a day, 5 stem splits a day, and 1 custom style or vocal.
- Pro, $9.99 per month or $7.99 per month billed yearly: 1,000 songs a month, release original songs to Spotify and Apple Music, unlimited downloads, earn royalties from streams, 500 stem splits a month, and 5 custom styles and vocals.
An ElevenLabs help center article gives different numbers: 5 tracks per day on the free plan and 400 tracks per month on Pro, with 10 HQ WAV downloads per month. The two ElevenLabs pages disagree, so check the plan screen before you pay.
ElevenMusic is a separate product from ElevenCreative Music, the music tool in the main ElevenLabs app. It needs its own account, and ElevenCreative subscriptions cannot be used with it, according to the help center. ElevenCreative Music bills by credits. If you want sound effects rather than songs, see our post on ElevenLabs SFX v3.
Why it matters
ElevenLabs, an audio AI company, released its first music model in 2025 and launched the ElevenMusic consumer app in April 2026, TechCrunch reports. The same report says ElevenLabs puts the number of tracks users have created with its models at over 25 million.
Mati Staniszewski, the ElevenLabs CEO and cofounder, said in a statement quoted by The Next Web: "Music creation and discovery belong together and now, with SoundCloud, that music can reach even more audiences and communities." Pro already lists releasing original songs to Spotify and Apple Music. The SoundCloud link is a different kind of route: it is the first platform outside ElevenMusic where users can publish directly, with no download and re-upload step.
SoundCloud has other AI partners too. In October it announced a partnership with Moises, and TechCrunch says it also has integrations with Google Flow Music and the remix platform Hook.
For creators, the practical points are simple. You need an original ElevenMusic track and a linked SoundCloud account. If you take the free trial, a card is required and the plan renews at the monthly price unless you cancel.
