What it is
Storytel is a Swedish streaming audiobook service with plans that range from limited hours to unlimited listening, depending on where you live.
Catalogue
Its strength is local language content. Readers in Sweden, India or Turkey will find far more books in their own language here than on Audible.
Value
Unlimited plans are excellent value for heavy listeners, but you rent rather than own.
