While I don’t recommend it at full cost, it’s hard to pass up 3 months for less than 3 bucks. By Christina Buff on April 16, 2026.

Through April 30, new and returning Audible subscribers can get three months of the new Standard plan for just 99 cents per month. Usually $8.99 per month, that’s $24 in savings. I’m going to be honest here: I don’t think Audible Standard is worth it at full price. The new plan, launched in March, costs $8.99 per month and lets you select one audiobook each month from the entire Audible collection. But unlike the Premium Plus plan, you can’t keep those titles if you cancel your subscription. It’s basically like you’re just borrowing them instead—and for $8.99 each month, that hardly seems fair. That’s why I think it’s 100 percent worth snapping up the three-month deal the audiobook company is offering this month.
Through April 30, new and returning subscribers can get three months of the Audible Standard plan for only 99 cents per month. That’s less than $3 total to “borrow” three premium audiobook titles from Audible’s expansive catalog. I deem that a damn good deal.
Along with the premium titles, you’ll also be able to enjoy unlimited listening to a curated library with Audible Originals and nearly 200 of the most popular titles previously available on Wondery+. So, technically, you’ll get more than just three audiobooks for $3.
So, why pay 99 cents per month instead of using a free library-based audiobook app like Libby? Well, plain and simple, there are no wait times. The Audible Standard membership allows you to check out whatever premium title you want with no waiting involved. That means you can enjoy 2026 releases, BookTok favorites, and more whenever you want. Just remember, you need to finish listening before you cancel your subscription, or you’ll lose access forever.
