When you woke up today, we know your first thought was you needed a new streaming service. Good news, SoundCloud thinks that too. They launched a new tier of service this week called SoundCloud Go. The cost is $9.99 which is in a similar range to other options.

The new service is built into the existing app with premium options available via an in-app purchase. Many of the features are comparable to Spotify such as offline listening. We love SoundCloud for the access it give to independents and gems we don't find elsewhere. The thing is we're unsure how this service lures someone away from the already entrenched players. It's unclear why a typical music listener would switch. It is clear, however, that the music industry continues to make deals with anyone they can not named Spotify or Apple.

Will you check out the trial of SoundCloud Go and give it a chance? Let us know in the comments.
