A few days ago I received the bill for my monthly paid subscription to Beatsource and noticed a surcharge. Previously it cost USD 34.99 per month in my region and now they are charging USD 46.99 per month. I find this surcharge pretty steep because I think it came unannounced. Maybe I just missed the email with the information or I forgot about it?
I think a downgrade from Pro + to the standard subscription is a bit pointless because you no longer have the edits, the offline locker would also be gone and you would no longer be able to stream losses.
When I asked, the reason given was the following:
"Since some large labels in some regions have increased their minimum requirements, we were unable to prevent this price increase."
Now I would be primarily wondering whether other users are also affected by this and how much their prices have increased?
As a side note: Compared to Tidal, when you compare Beatsource's entire catalog, which is rather poor and very "American" oriented in terms of content, it quickly becomes apparent that Traktor should urgently look for an alternative so that it is not tied to just one provider.
