We7 is set to launch monthly subscriptions and has an iPhone app in the works, according to founder and CEO Steve Purdham. He’s revealed that the streaming site’s ad-free subscription model will launch in February.
Purdham, who co-founded We7 with musician and digital music maven Peter Gabriel, says: “From February, we’ll be opening our subscription models which will get rid of the ads.” No details on specific pricing for those plans has been released yet.
As well as adding paid ad-free subscriptions to its currently ad-supported model, We7 has an iPhone app ready to submit to Apple. The app, which allows you to stream music on the move and buffer it for offline listening, would compete directly with Spotify’s iPhone app.
Purdham could not confirm when We7 will submit their application to the iTunes App Store but confirmed that the site is also working on apps for other mobile platforms including Google Android.
We’re chasing up further details on We7’s subscription plans and their iPhone app. Keep your eyes on Electricpig for more news.
