Let’s take a look.

Audibleis geared to be a subscription-based audiobook platform, though it’s possible for you to purchase books individually.

How Much do Spotify Audiobooks Cost?
Spotify is certainly not alone in the world of audiobooks.
So how does Spotify stack up in pricing?
These prices are without any subscriptions.
Spotify’s a la carte pricing is competitive with the other options on the market.
Of course, things get a little murkier when we take subscriptions into consideration.
For example, Audiobooks.com’s subscription costs $14.95 and includes one free book per month.
So if you’re only reading one book per month, that knocks the price down below Spotify.
In general, you’ll find Spotify’s pricing is about the middle of the pack.
you could certainly find better deals from other services, but there aren’t huge price disparities.
Audiobooks can only be purchased in a web web client, not in the mobile or desktop apps.
you’ve got the option to also search for book titles just like song titles.
Annoyingly, you could’t view the price of audiobooks in Spotify’s mobile apps.
The email includes the price and a link to purchase the audiobook.
After you’ve made the purchase, the audiobook will appear in your library.
Listening to the audiobook works like you would expect.
That’s the story on Spotify audiobooks.
Options are good to have.
