Audible Pricing FAQ

How much is Audible per month in 2026?
Audible costs $7.95 to $14.95 per month in the US depending on the plan: Audible Plus (unlimited listening from the Plus Catalog, no credits) is $7.95/month, the Standard plan (one credit per month) is $8.99/month, and Premium Plus (one credit per month plus the full Plus Catalog) is $14.95/month. A 12-credit Premium Plus Annual plan costs $149.50/year.
Does Audible have a free trial?
Yes. Audible offers a 30-day free trial of Premium Plus that includes one free credit, and the audiobook you claim with it is yours to keep permanently. Amazon Prime members who have never tried Audible get two credits during the trial instead of one. After 30 days the membership renews at $14.95/month.
Do Audible credits roll over if you don't use them?
Yes. Unused Audible credits roll over from month to month, but each credit expires 12 months after the date it was issued. The same rule applies to the 12 credits granted upfront on the annual plan, so it pays to spend your oldest credits first.
What's the difference between Audible Plus and Audible Premium Plus?
Audible Plus ($7.95/month) is listen-only: unlimited streaming from the smaller Plus Catalog of included audiobooks, Originals, and podcasts, with no monthly credits. Premium Plus ($14.95/month) includes the same Plus Catalog and adds one credit every month to buy any title in Audible's full premium catalog, which is yours to keep permanently.
What is the Audible Standard plan?
Standard is Audible's mid-priced plan, launched in the US on March 17, 2025 at $8.99/month. You select one audiobook per month from the full catalog, but unlike Premium Plus purchases, Standard titles stay listenable only for as long as your membership remains active. It suits listeners who want new releases without paying $14.95/month.
Is the Audible annual plan worth it?
The Premium Plus Annual plan costs $149.50/year and delivers all 12 credits upfront, which works out to about $12.46 per credit versus $14.95 on the monthly plan, a saving of roughly $30 per year. Credits still expire 12 months after issue, so it best fits listeners who finish about a book a month.
Has Audible raised its prices?
No. Audible Premium Plus has held at $14.95/month and Audible Plus at $7.95/month for years, with no US price increases through mid-2026. Instead of raising prices, Audible has added cheaper tiers, most recently the $8.99/month Standard plan in March 2025, while the 12-credit annual plan remains $149.50/year.
