Hypeddit alternative
A modern Hypeddit-style alternative for SoundCloud growth
FollowToDownload gives creators a clean way to run download gates with verified SoundCloud actions, email capture, promo rotation and creator dashboards. Use it as a modern alternative for follow-to-download campaigns.
Real SoundCloud unlock
Fans connect with SoundCloud and complete verified actions before the file unlocks.
Email capture
Every gate can collect fan emails, show download stats and export contacts as CSV.
Promo rotation
Approved promos can rotate across the homepage and related download gates with genre badges.
Free to start
Creators get 7 free download gates, or can upgrade to Premium for 30+ gate credits per paid month, verified unlock growth and all-gates promo rotation.
Practical creator workflow
A creator-focused alternative for download campaigns
FollowToDownload is designed for artists who want a simple public gate, transparent creator statistics and direct fan-email ownership. It combines SoundCloud actions, optional social steps and cross-gate music promotion without forcing the listener through an unrelated landing-page maze.
Choose only useful actions
Select the SoundCloud and social steps that match the campaign instead of asking every fan to do everything.
Reuse the audience data
Export captured emails for future releases, announcements and legitimate fan communication.
