Audible Price 2026: $14.95/mo

As of Jul 2026, Audible Premium Plus (1 credit/mo) costs $14.95/month in the US — unchanged from $14.95 since 2021. A flat price is still part of the index: dropping services that have not raised prices would overstate the aggregate increase across tracked plans. We have not yet recorded a price-change event for this plan; the launch price is the current price. If Audible announces a change, we log it as a dated event with a primary source — an official newsroom post or reputable reporting — and recompute every figure from that log. Prices are US list prices in USD, excluding tax; promotional and app-store rates can differ. Subscription Price Guide is an independent index and is not affiliated with Audible. Every statistic on this page — current price, total increase, hike count, highs and lows — is computed at build time from the stored event log, so the page, the structured data and the index cannot disagree.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
