Audiobook Subscription Services

  1. Libro.fm Audiobooks

    Libro fm
    This is my favourite audiobook subscription service! Not only do they support indie bookstores, they have a great selection of titles. You can choose to purchase a membership or individual books for yourself or as a gift. If you are an influencer, they also have a fantastic selection of monthly audiobooks for review.

2. Scribd Audiobooks

Scribd

Scribd is my go-to audiobook subscription service for more than just audiobooks. They have a large selection of eBooks as well as magazines, podcasts, sheet music, and documents. Their monthly subscription allows readers access to all of the titles in their collection. There is a maximum limit to the number of downloads per month, but I have yet to reach it.

3. Audible Audiobook Subscription

Audible

Audible is an audiobook subscription service for those who enjoy access to popular new releases and podcasts. They have different levels of membership depending on how much content you are interested in each month. There are many free trial options as well, so if you haven’t tried it yet, it is easy to give it a test drive.

4. Apple Books Audiobooks

Apple Books is a source for both audiobooks and ebooks. As of today, there is not a specific subscription for this service, however, there are rumours this might change soon. There are many titles to choose from on the app and it is great for finding books that aren’t easy to find elsewhere. If you aren’t quite ready to sign up for an audiobook subscription service, but would like to buy the odd title, this is one of the best routes to choose.

5. Instaread Audiobooks



Instaread is a unique audiobook subscription service where you can read or listen to any book in minutes without having to actually read the whole book. For those who are rushed for time, or need a quick recap of a previously read title, this is a game changer. There are so many genres and titles to choose from. It is certainly worth a try for those who are curious!

6. Spotify Audiobooks

Spotify is offering audiobooks on its platform for anyone with a Spotify account. No membership is required and there is no subscription fee. To purchase an audiobook, you will need to head over to the Spotify Web Player to find and buy a title. There are over 300,000 titles to choose from and the list keeps growing. It is really exciting for listeners to have all of their needs for music, podcasts, and audiobooks all in one place.

7. Hoopla Audiobooks

Hoopla is a fantastic audiobook service that is accessed with a library card. If your school or public library has a subscription to this platform, you will find a wealth of titles to listen to. There are also ebooks and movies available as well. Perfect for students on a budget!
