Spotify Offers Audiobook-Only Subscription. Spotify's Audiobooks Access Tier has rolled out for $10 per month in the U.S., Engadget reports. The subscription provides 15 hours of audiobook listening. Spotify has over 200,000 audiobooks to choose from. In November, Spotify began offering Premium subscribers 15 hours of audiobook listening at no additional cost. Spotify Premium costs $11 per month. Since November, free tier users have searched for and interacted with audiobooks 45% more each day, Spotify said. That increase has seemingly justified Spotify's decision to offer a subscription tier only for audiobooks. Ad-supported music will still be available to those users. According to Engadget, audiobooks can usually be finished in seven to 11 hours. which provides the opportunity to possibly fit in two titles per month with Spotify's plan. That may undercut Audible, which charges subscribers $15 per month for one audiobook. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
