What it is

Spotify Premium includes a monthly allowance of audiobook listening hours from a large catalogue. You can start any eligible book and listen until your hours run out.

Value

If you already pay for Premium, it is effectively free audiobooks. The allowance covers roughly one average book a month; long fantasy novels can use it up quickly.

Experience

The Spotify app is excellent, but audiobooks feel like a guest in a music app. Chapter navigation and bookmarks are improving but still less refined than dedicated apps.

What we loved

  • ✓Included with Premium
  • ✓Great app performance
  • ✓Large catalogue

Worth knowing

  • –Hour limits
  • –You do not own anything
  • –Audiobook features less refined

The verdict

Use what you are already paying for before signing up elsewhere.
