In the world of audiobooks, Spotify’s approach comes with a different pricing structure compared to industry leader Audible, which charges $8 per month with no listening limits. Spotify initially introduced audiobooks to its platform in September of the previous year, offering an extensive library of 300,000 titles for purchase within the service. This move to include audiobooks in Premium subscriptions may be aimed at consolidating various forms of media in one platform.
The Value of Content
For voracious readers and audiobook enthusiasts, the 15 hours provided may fall short of their appetite. The question remains whether users will be willing to pay $11 for every additional 10 hours after exhausting their initial allocation.
Spotify’s perspective on this move is clear. They believe that offering personalized music, podcasts, and audiobooks on a single platform provides users with a superior way to connect with their favorite artists, podcasters, creators, and authors, all within one digital space.
