Overview

  • U.S. Premium subscribers can now add Audiobooks+ to their Family and Duo plans.
  • Plan managers can purchase one-time 10-hour top-ups for $13 to extend listening beyond the monthly allotment.
  • This marks the first time non-primary members on Duo and Family plans can access Spotify’s audiobook library without separate purchases.
  • The U.S. launch follows earlier rollouts of Audiobooks+ in more than a dozen markets across North America, Europe and Australia.
  • Spotify’s audiobook listening hours have risen over 35% year-over-year in the U.S., U.K. and Australia as the company seeks to tap into the growing market and counter competitors like Audible.
