Is there a free trial for Tidal DJ?

If I'm on a 30-day free trial of Tidal (Individual or Student), can I add Tidal DJ without reducing my trial time?
Yes, you can add Tidal DJ to your Tidal Individual or Student plan during the free trial without reducing the remaining time of your trial period.
Is stem separation available with Tidal DJ?
Yes, Tidal DJ provides access to stem separation on DJ hardware and software. Availability varies by partner.
Managing Your Tidal DJ Subscription
Can I change my existing subscription to Tidal DJ?
Yes. You can switch to a Tidal DJ plan by navigating to account.tidal.com. When you switch to Tidal DJ, it activates immediately and we adjust the remaining time in your current billing cycle. We take the value of the unused time on your existing subscription and apply it to your new subscription. Since your new subscription will have a higher price, the number of days left in your current billing cycle may be reduced to reflect that difference.
I'm a DJ but haven't added Tidal DJ to my subscription. Can I still access DJ integrations?
No, Tidal DJ is required to enable DJ playback. Without it, you'll encounter a playback error message when trying to use Tidal with your DJ setup. To access DJ integrations, please visit account.tidal.com and switch to Tidal DJ as an Individual or Student plan.
Why can't I add Tidal DJ to my Tidal subscription if my account is registered through Apple or Google?
Tidal DJ can only be added to your subscription if your Tidal account is registered directly with Tidal. Unfortunately, it’s not currently possible to add Tidal DJ if your account is registered through Apple or Google. If you’d like Tidal DJ, you’ll need to cancel your subscription through Apple or Google and subscribe directly through Tidal.
Is Tidal DJ available on the Family plan?
No. If the main account owner wants access to DJ integrations, they must subscribe to a Tidal DJ Individual or Student plan. Family members will then need to choose a new Tidal Individual plan or join a different Family plan, as Tidal DJ is not available with Family plans.
Is Tidal DJ available on the Student plan?
Yes! See below for more details on adding Tidal DJ to a Student plan.
Tidal DJ for Student Plans
How do I sign up for a Student plan with Tidal DJ?
To subscribe to Tidal DJ via a new Tidal Student plan, eligible students can follow these steps:
- Visit tidal.com/pricing and sign up for a Tidal DJ Student plan.
- Verify Student Status: Ensure your student status is verified. This may require providing proof of enrollment or other necessary documentation. More information on SheerID verification can be found here.
- Choose Tidal DJ: In the product selector, click on “Student plan available” underneath the Tidal DJ box.
- Complete Payment: Review the total cost and complete the payment process. Once the payment is processed, you will receive a confirmation email, and your Tidal DJ Student plan will be activated on your account.
Do students need to re-verify their status to keep Tidal DJ?
Yes, students must re-verify their status with SheerID every 12 months to maintain the student discount for their plan and Tidal DJ.
What happens if my student verification lapses?
If your student verification lapses and you do not re-verify, you will be moved to a Tidal DJ Individual plan upon your next billing cycle. This means you will no longer receive the student discount and will pay the regular price for Tidal DJ.
How do I switch from a Tidal DJ Student plan to a Tidal Student plan?
You can switch from Tidal Student DJ to Tidal Student by navigating to account.tidal.com. The change will take place at the end of the current billing cycle, and you will retain access to the DJ features until that time.
