ElevenLabs announced on 5 November that people who make songs in ElevenMusic can now publish them straight to SoundCloud. SoundCloud calls itself the first outside platform to accept direct uploads from the app, which until now kept its creations inside ElevenLabs' own ecosystem.
The deal comes with a perk. New and existing SoundCloud Artist Pro subscribers get three months of ElevenMusic Pro through SoundCloud's Member Benefits programme. The Pro tier allows up to 1,000 songs, 500 stem splits and five custom styles or vocals a month, and lists at $9.99 a month, or $7.99 on yearly billing. The free plan gives 25 songs a day, and commercial use needs a "Made with ElevenMusic" credit. ElevenLabs says users have made over 25 million tracks with its models.
Tracks sent across carry platform-specific disclosures naming ElevenMusic as their source. SoundCloud's existing rules still apply: uploaders need the rightsholders' permission, may not impersonate anyone, and content covered by the EU AI Act should be described as AI-generated or manipulated. SoundCloud's AI partnerships page also rules out training generative models on user content without explicit consent.

SoundCloud's chief executive, Eliah Seton, framed the link as a way for artists to experiment and reach fans beyond ElevenLabs' own app. It follows SoundCloud's 21 October partnership with Moises, which lets artists move songs between the two services, and its integrations with Google Flow Music and the remix platform Hook.
About ElevenMusic
ElevenLabs' first music model, Eleven Music, launched on 5 August 2025 and generates songs from text prompts. ElevenLabs said it was built with labels, publishers and artists and cleared for commercial use.
On 29 April 2026 the company announced the ElevenMusic platform, aimed at discovery, remixing and creator earnings. It launched with more than 4,000 artists and an album, Eleven Album Vol. 2, whose tracks were exclusive to the platform.

TechCrunch set the news against a wider split among platforms. Deezer is adding a toggle to hide AI music, Bandcamp bans it outright, and Spotify and YouTube label it cautiously. Spotify has signed label partnerships for AI remix products but has not named model partners such as ElevenLabs. SoundCloud and ElevenLabs say they are exploring further ways to connect creative tools with artist communities.
