Wondering how Audible works and whether it’s actually worth the cost? As someone who’s listened to countless audiobooks over the years, I’m sharing exactly how Audible works, what you get with each membership plan, and some of my favorite tips for getting the most value from your subscription!
How Does Audible Work? (And Why I’m Still Obsessed With It)
EEK…IT’S BACK!!
Thinking about trying Audible? Right now is an amazing time to give it a test drive! Through 10/7, Amazon Prime members can score a FREE $20 Audible Credit + 4 months of Audible Standard for just $.99 per month (a $56 total value!). After the promotional period ends, the membership is just $8.99/month and can be canceled anytime. (If you don’t see the offer, try clicking on the link a few times – it may not always give you the offer on the first try!).
One of the biggest changes Audible has made recently is introducing a lower-priced membership option that’s perfect for casual listeners. The Audible Standard Plan costs just $8.99/month (compared to $14.95/month for Audible Premium Plus) and includes one audiobook selection each month along with access to Audible Originals and a huge library of podcasts.

What’s included? Your membership includes one audiobook selection every month, plus access to a growing collection of podcasts, Audible Originals, and other included content. Whether you’re walking the dog, tackling chores around the house, commuting to work, or squeezing in a workout, Audible makes it easy to fit more reading into your day.
Audible Plans:
Audible Standard – $8.99/month includes one audiobook selection per month plus access to Audible Originals and a library of podcasts.
Audible Premium Plus – $14.95/month includes access to the Audible Plus Catalog, member discounts, and one audiobook credit per month to redeem and keep permanently.
Personally, I use my Audible account almost daily (I have the Premium Plan). It’s helped me “read” more books than ever before, even during my busiest seasons of life. I listen while walking, folding laundry, driving, and even grocery shopping. If you’ve been curious about audiobooks, this is one of the best opportunities I’ve seen to give Audible a try without a big commitment. 🙂
I genuinely think you’ll love it – and with three free months to test it out, there’s never been a better time to see what all the hype is about!






Should point out that once you cancel your plan, you lose the books with this $8.99 plan. So make sure you listen to them before you cancel. If you do the premium plan, then you get to keep the books after you cancel
Thank you for sharing this tip. 🙂
Thank you so much for chiming in, Susan! 🙂
