Audible Alternative Apps Accessible For iOS And Android Platforms

Audible is owned by Amazon, the world's largest e-commerce company, and is the world's largest audiobook platform. Before we look at the some decent or better Audible alternative, let's have a look at list of audible.

Audiobooks Now

Audiobooks is a great audible rival, with over 85000 titles (compared to Audible's 200,000 audiobooks) and apps accessible for both iOS and Android platforms. Another noteworthy feature is that, unlike Audible, not all books are DRM-protected.

Nook Audiobooks

Barnes and Noble has long been a Kindle competitor, and in response to Audible, B&N created Nook Audiobooks. There are nearly 60,000 titles available on Nook Audiobooks, which are available on all major platforms. You will have to pay for what you read because there is no monthly subscription plan. If you aren't a big reader, Nook Audiobooks might be a better fit. As you'd expect from a brand like B&N, the user interface is smooth and clear.

Downpour

Downpour is well-liked by fans because it offers DRM-free content, but that isn't the only reason it made the Audible alternatives list. Downpour offers Audiobook rentals, which means you don't own the audiobook for the rest of your life like you would with Audible; instead, you rent it like a movie. This will also free up space on your smartphone because you will be able to "return" the Audiobook and download another.

Scribd

Scribd is one of the most popular Audible alternatives. In fact, I believe it is superior to Audible. Amazon, like Scribd, has a team of editors and directors in its studio. On the site, you'll find 150,000 ebooks, as well as audiobooks, newspapers, journals, and articles.

Playster

Playster has a wide range of material, including audiobooks, movies, music, and ebooks. There is no limit to the amount of audiobooks you can listen to, but you no longer own the books if you terminate your membership. Although the collection is minor in comparison to the others mentioned above, it does not operate on a credit system. If you listen to audiobooks frequently, Playster will be a more cost-effective option.

Serial Box

Serial Box isn't your typical Audible substitute. Rather than licencing audiobooks from well-known publishers, the serial box employs a staff of in-house writers who create original short tales (much like Netflix originals). Each story is broken down into the smaller episodes. Serial box episodes are available in both text and audio forms, similar to Amazon.

eStories

eStories is another audible alternative audiobook service that offers popular novels such as George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones and John Grisham's The Whitler. eStories claims to have over 120,000 audiobook titles in their library, including some of the most popular and recent titles. While the price is significantly more, if you're seeking for a title that isn't accessible on other platforms, it's worth considering. When you enrol, you get 30 days to return a book and some bonus credits.
