Spotify launches audiobook-only subscription for $10 monthly
Subscribers gain access to Spotify's extensive library of over 200,000 titles.
The "Audiobooks Access Tier," initially available only in the US, provides users with 15 hours of audiobook content per month for $10.
Subscribers gain access to Spotify's extensive library of over 200,000 titles while retaining the ability to listen to ad-supported music through the platform's free tier.
While the pricing may seem comparable to Spotify's Premium subscription at $11 per month, the Audiobooks Access Tier targets a specific audience interested primarily in audiobooks.
Audiobooks typically require between seven to 11 hours to complete, making Spotify's offering a competitive alternative to platforms like Audible, which charges $15 for a single audiobook credit per month. With Spotify's new tier, subscribers could potentially listen to two books per month for $5 less than Audible's offering.
The decision to introduce an audiobook-only subscription follows Spotify's observation of a 45 percent increase in daily searches and interactions with audiobook content since November.
