"Audible just launched a new budget-friendly Standard plan that costs $9 each month. Despite the lower price, this plan still includes a monthly audiobook credit. These credits allow users to download pretty much any audiobook from the library, including most brand-new releases. This was a perk previously locked to the Premium Plus plan, which is $15 per month."
"That plan lets subscribers keep downloaded audiobooks forever, but the same isn't true of the Standard plan. Audiobooks will float into the ether once a subscription has been cancelled. This is only a big deal, however, for those who like to re-listen to their favorites."
"The Premium Plus plan provides some other perks not available to Standard users. Subscribers get regular access to sales and discounts, and there's a library of audiobooks and podcasts to peruse. This is sort of like Kindle Unlimited, but for audiobooks."
Audible launched a new Standard plan priced at $9 monthly, providing access to monthly audiobook credits for downloading new releases and a curated library of Audible Originals and Wondery+ content without advertisements. This pricing undercuts the Premium Plus plan at $15 while maintaining the monthly credit benefit. However, the Standard plan differs in key ways: downloaded audiobooks are not retained after subscription cancellation, whereas Premium Plus allows permanent ownership. Premium Plus subscribers also receive exclusive access to sales, discounts, and a broader library of audiobooks and podcasts. Amazon projects this tier will attract millions of new users globally, with current availability in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, and Australia, plus ongoing testing in additional markets.
