What the trial is
Audible offers eligible new members a free trial so you can try the service before paying. The trial length, what's included and the monthly price after the trial can change, so check the current details on Amazon's sign-up page before you start.
Renews automatically unless cancelled. After the trial, Audible charges the regular price shown at sign-up. Cancel before the trial ends to pay nothing.
Who can get it
Generally new members, or folks who haven't had a trial recently. Amazon decides eligibility, and the sign-up page will tell you.
How to cancel before you're charged
- Set a phone reminder a couple of days before your trial ends.
- Go to your Audible account settings and choose to cancel the membership.
- Look for the confirmation email, and keep it.
Is it worth it?
If you'd actually listen, yes. Pick your titles early in the trial, set that reminder, and decide before it renews. Want Prime too? See our free trials page.
