Today, Audiobooks+ comes to the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Individual<\/strong> Spotify Premium members already get 15 hours of audiobooks per month under their $11.99 subscription. Available for an additional $11.99 per month, Audiobooks+ will get subscribers of the add-on an additional 15 hours of audiobooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, only the plan manager of <strong>Duo<\/strong> and <strong>Family<\/strong> Spotify Premium accounts get 15 hours of audiobooks per month. With Audiobooks+, now for the first time additional members can get access to audiobook listening. With <strong>Audiobooks+ for Plan Members<\/strong>, the plan manager can purchase members 15 hours of listening for $11.99 per month, per additional member. Additionally, a one-time 10-hour top-up is also available to plan members for an additional $13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, for non-Premium members, Spotify offers an Audiobooks Access plan for $9.99, which gives subscribers 15 hours of audiobooks, without the ad-free music. Why the Audiobooks+ add-on costs more than the Audiobooks Access membership, I can&#8217;t work out. It means for Premium members, it would effectively be more cost-effective to instead purchase the Audiobooks Access subscription to net 30 hours of overall audiobooks, although you&#8217;d have to deal with two separate Spotify accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify Audiobooks+ is now available in <strong>the US<\/strong>, <strong>Ireland<\/strong>, <strong>Canada<\/strong>, <strong>U.K.<\/strong>, <strong>Australia<\/strong>, <strong>New Zealand<\/strong>, <strong>France<\/strong>, <strong>Belgium<\/strong>, <strong>the Netherlands<\/strong>, <strong>Luxembourg<\/strong>, <strong>Germany<\/strong>, <strong>Austria<\/strong>, <strong>Switzerland<\/strong>, and <strong>Liechtenstein<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/upload-your-music-to-spotify-for-free\/\">While RouteNote currently does not offer audiobook delivery, use RouteNote to get your music on Spotify and over 100 other stores and streaming services for free!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify Premium Individual, Duo and Family members in the US can now purchase a 15-hour audiobook top-up for $11.99\/month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":105564,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11109],"tags":[825],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
