You're ready to start listening in the app! Find the audiobook in Your Library on all your devices.

No, you don't need a Premium account to listen to audiobooks on Spotify. While eligible Premium subscribers (Individual subscribers and Duo and Family plan managers) will have access to 12 listening hours per month from our large subscriber catalogue and via an elevated product experience, any user can pay to unlock access to particular titles. What's more, audiodramas and some audiobook titles are available for all users to stream. Learn more.
For now, audiobooks on Spotify can only be unlocked in the Spotify Web Player, but you can listen in the app once you’ve unlocked a title. Head to open.spotify.com, find an audiobook you want to listen to, and follow the steps to check out. Then head back to the app on any device to start listening.
If your audiobook rights belong to a publisher, ask them if they’re distributing on Spotify. If you’re an independent or self-published author, the easiest way to make your audiobook available on Spotify is through Findaway Voices.
For Premium Duo & Premium Family plans, only the plan manager has access to Audiobook subscriber catalog benefits. Premium Individual subscriptions include 12 hours of audiobook streaming monthly from our catalog of over 350,000 titles. Explore Premium plans here.
If you fully consume your plan’s monthly allotted time, you can purchase a top-up, available in increments of 10 hours, that allows you to keep listening to audiobooks before your next month's renewal. Get more details here.
