- Audible is offering three months of its Standard Plan for $0.99 per month — an 80% discount — through Oct. 7 for Amazon Prime members, the cheapest price since Amazon's June Prime Day deal
- The deal includes a $20 credit to Audible.com and grants one audiobook per month from the full library, including bestsellers and new releases
- After the three-month promotional period, subscribers are charged $8.99 per month unless they cancel first
- Amazon Prime membership is required to claim the deal, with a 30-day free trial available for non-members who want to stack it
- Headline content on the platform includes the exclusive "Dracula" audiobook starring Jonathan Bailey and the full-cast "Harry Potter" series with Hugh Laurie as Dumbledore
- The Audible catalog also features celebrity memoirs by Lena Dunham, Britney Spears, Al Pacino, and Viola Davis, plus book-to-screen adaptations like "It Ends With Us" and "The Perfect Couple"
Why it matters: The promotion drops Audible's effective three-month cost to $2.97 for Prime members, after which the rate jumps nearly 9x to $8.99 per month — a classic trial-to-full-price conversion that hinges on Prime's existing customer base. The $20 Audible.com credit meaningfully offsets the post-promo price for anyone who stays, giving Amazon a low-cost funnel into its audiobook ecosystem.
