As someone who loves a long walk on my treadmill, podcasts and audiobooks are my best friends. It's truly a perfect way to get your content fix while getting your steps in or relaxing on the evenings I want to skip multi-tasking.

Just in time for Prime Day 2026, you can get Audible for less than $1 for three months—a rare deal for audiobook lovers.

Regardless of whether you have an Amazon Prime membership (though I highly recommend one), Audible is an excellent resource for all your podcast and audiobook needs. Whether you're streaming the latest episode of Dateline or listening to the audio books for Off-Campus, it's all available on Audible. Ahead of Amazon's Prime Day sale, the retailer has Audible discounted to just $0.99 for your first three months, now through July 15.

Do I need a membership to listen on Audible?

No, you don't need a membership to listen to anything on Audible. Audiobooks and podcasts are available for purchase individually. However, I highly recommend an Audible Premium Plus membership if you regularly listen to audiobooks or podcasts and want to keep them forever.

Here are the two main Audible membership options:

Audible Standard: $0.99 per month for three months, $8.99 per month after

Audible Standard gives you access to one audiobook per month and unlimited access to thousands of podcasts. Now through Wednesday, July 15, get Audible Standard for $0.99 for your first three months, then it will auto-renew at $8.99 per month.

Audible Premium Plus: $14.95 per month after 30-day free trial

The Audible Premium Plus plan includes multiple audibooks per month and one monthly credit to use on any audiobook from Audible’s full Premium selection—including best-sellers and new releases. The best part? That book is yours to keep forever, even if you cancel. You’ll also get access to exclusive member-only sales and discounts on additional titles.

What benefits does an Audible Premium Plus membership include?

Here's a quick overview of Audible Premium Plus member benefits:

• Members get one credit a month to buy any audiobook from the entire collection. This is the biggest difference between Audible Standard and Audible Premium Plus: You actually own your purchased titles with Premium Plus.
• You can listen as much as you want, choosing from thousands of audiobooks and podcasts, there's no limit to how much you can stream.
• Plus, you get in on exclusive sales and deals and you can use your special membership discount on any title.

How much does Audible Premium Plus cost?

Audible Premium Plus is $14.95 per month, it will auto-renew monthly, but you can cancel it at anytime.

Do I need an Amazon Prime membership to access Audible?

No. But, Prime members can receive a free trial of Audible. You also receive two free credits through your Prime membership when you add an Audible Unlimited Membership.
