Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I listen alone with Rythm?
Rythm was designed to bridge the gap for online music listening with your friends. While there are many ways to listen by yourself, there isn't a great way to listen to music with others. Group listening enables us to be cheaper than other streaming services.
How much is Rythm Premium?
Rythm Premium is $4.99 + tax, generally about half the price of current streaming services! Learn about the features of Premium.
How can I get help with my subscription?
- If you would like to cancel your subscription, your subscription will remain active until the end of the billing period. Visit
