Audiobooks+

For: Premium Individual, Family, and Duo

Audiobooks+ is a recurring subscription that adds audiobook listening time from our audiobooks subscriber catalog to your plan each month.

If your plan already includes monthly audiobook listening time, Audiobooks+ adds more on top.

Pricing and number of listening hours included varies per country. 

How to subscribe to Audiobooks+

You can subscribe to Audiobooks+ with a credit/debit card, PayPal, or Google Play Billing.

Your plan affects how you subscribe, but the audiobook experience works the same way.

• I’m a Premium plan manager

  Audiobooks+ is available to you as a recurring add-on subscription, on top of your Premium plan. This moves your billing date forward, and your subscription cost will be adjusted proportionally.

  3. Find Audiobooks+. You’ll see the included hours and pricing.

How audiobook listening time works

We count audiobook listening time based on each playback at normal speed, so adjusting the speed of playback won't affect the amount of time deducted.

If you relisten to a book (or part of a book), your listening time continues to reduce as normal.

For more info about your Audiobooks+ listening time, see our FAQ below.

• Does Audiobooks+ listening time expire?

  Yes. Any unused listening time from Audiobooks+ expires at the start of your next billing period, when your hours are renewed. We don't offer refunds for unused or expired listening time.

  Need more hours before your next renewal? You can purchase a one-time top-up through Purchasing audiobook listening time.

• My plan already includes listening time. Which is used first?

  If your plan includes audiobook listening time, your plan's audiobook listening hours are used first. Once those run out, your Audiobooks+ hours will start being deducted.

  Note: Not all Spotify plans include audiobook listening time. If your plan doesn't include it, your Audiobooks+ add-on hours are used from the start.

Canceling Audiobooks+

You can cancel Audiobooks+ at any time.

After you cancel, you can continue using your remaining Audiobooks+ listening time until the end of your current billing period.
