In this video I walk you through Audible’s new pricing, because the “cheaper” plan sounds great until you see what you’re giving up. Audible introduced a new $8.99/month tier (often called the Standard plan), and on paper it looks simple: you get one audiobook credit each month. If you’re a light listener who only wants one specific book at a time, that might be all you need. But here’s the part I want seniors to understand before they click Subscribe: with the lower-priced plan you lose access to the full Plus Catalog and a number of the premium features people are used to. So the real question isn’t just “Is it cheaper?”—it’s “Will I miss what I’m losing?” I compare the Standard plan to Premium Plus, explain who each plan fits best, and how to decide if Audible is still worth it going into 2026. My goal is to help you avoid paying for the wrong tier, especially if you like browsing included titles, listening to podcasts, or you want more flexibility month to month.
