Tips & Things to Watch For

Tidal's Frequent Price Changes Mean Timing Matters

Pro Tip

Tidal has changed its pricing structure multiple times (2023-2024 saw significant changes). If a price increase is announced, subscribing to an annual plan before the change locks in old pricing for a year. Monitor music industry news for advance warning of pricing changes.

Student Discount Verification Process

Pro Tip

Tidal offers student discounts (typically 50% off) through SheerID verification. The verification may not always check enrollment status rigorously after initial signup. Some users report the discount continuing even after graduation until manually reverified, though this varies by region.

What to Expect

Dark Patterns to Watch

  • Settings menu can be difficult to locate on mobile app
  • Multiple navigation layers to reach cancellation option
  • Reminder screens showing features you'll lose

Retention Tactics

  • Displays playlists and favorites you'll lose access to
  • Emphasizes high-quality audio features being lost
  • May offer alternative plans or discounts
Typical offer: Downgrade to lower-tier plan or occasional promotional discount
