Amazon is currently offering a compelling deal on Audible Standard subscriptions for Amazon Prime members, providing four months of service for just $0.99 per month. This promotion, which began recently and concludes on October 7th, surpasses a similar offer available during Amazon's Prime Day sale in June.
Following the discounted period, the subscription will revert to the standard rate of $8.99 per month, though users retain the ability to cancel auto-renewal at any time.
Audible offers two subscription tiers: Standard and Premium Plus. The Standard plan costs $8.95 monthly, considerably less than the $14.95 Premium Plus tier. Both plans grant access to Audible's catalog of over one million audiobooks. The primary distinction lies in credits: Standard members receive one audiobook credit per month, which can be kept as long as the membership is active, while Premium Plus members receive one audiobook credit monthly that they can retain indefinitely.
For most users, the Standard subscription presents a better value, saving $72 annually in subscription fees before factoring in the current promotional discount.
The Audible library includes numerous popular titles. The Dungeon Crawler Carl LitRPG series, narrated by Jeff Hays, is currently a bestseller on the platform and is available in its entirety through an Audible membership. The first three audiobooks in the series can be obtained for $0.99 under this new deal.
Other notable audiobooks available include Rebecca Yarros' The Empyrean Series, which has consistently appeared on best-seller lists. Sunrise on the Reaping, the latest installment in The Hunger Games series, is narrated by Jefferson White and has a listening time of approximately 12 hours and 48 minutes. Stephen King's crime novel Never Flinch is also available as an audiobook, running nearly 15 hours and narrated by Jessie Mueller. For fantasy fans, Brandon Sanderson's Wind and Truth, the fifth book in The Stormlight Archive series, is an extensive 63-hour audiobook released in December 2024.
