Audiobook plans, without the guesswork.

A starting point for US listeners. Prices exclude trials, temporary promotions and tax.

A plan's price is only half the comparison. An hourly limit, a credit allowance and a library loan are different ways to access a book.

  • Audible Standard: $8.99 monthly; one monthly selection.
  • Audible Premium: $14.95 monthly for one credit; the US help table also lists two credits at $22.95. Check availability in your account.
  • Annual Premium: $149.50 for 12 credits or $229.50 for 24 credits, paid upfront.
  • Spotify Audiobooks Access: $9.99 monthly for 15 hours.
  • Existing eligible Spotify plans: included hours have no additional audiobook cost. The add-on shown in our calculator costs $11.99 monthly.
  • Library borrowing: no extra borrowing charge through eligible access, subject to your library.

Which fits you?

Use the plan calculator to compare your volume and preferences. It can exclude plans that do not retain purchases, include upfront annual options, and check the extra cost beyond a subscription you already keep.

The calculator also compares one plan plus separate purchases, including already-paid Spotify hours plus books bought elsewhere. Purchase prices are estimates. It does not optimize top-ups, extra-credit bundles or combinations of multiple paid plans.
