How audiobook subscription credits work
A credit-based subscription can seem confusing the first time. This summary comes from Audiobooks.com's own pricing page, and details may have changed since we checked, so confirm there.
The basic idea
Your plan gives you a number of credits each month. One credit redeems one audiobook, whatever its list price. Audiobooks.com's pricing page lists a plan with one credit per month at $14.95 (plus applicable taxes), and mentions plans with two and three credits.
The free trial
The page describes a 30-day free trial that includes one premium audiobook plus two bonus VIP titles. After the trial, the monthly fee is charged automatically unless you cancel, and the page says you can cancel during the trial.
Extras
The page also mentions Member Deals (two audiobooks for one credit) and the option to buy more credits. Read the current terms before you decide.
Is it worth it?
It depends on how much you listen. If you finish about one audiobook a month, one credit a month can make sense. If you listen less, a free library app might be a better fit.
Audiobooks.com's pricing page lists a 30-day free trial with one premium audiobook plus two bonus VIP titles, then $14.95 a month for one credit. You can cancel during the trial.
