A plan gives you 500 pages of finished audiobook every month, for as many books as you like, for the price of a lunch: 12-month commitment, billed monthly, or once a year with 2 months free. Publishing just once? Pay once, from $129 a book, no commitment. No opaque credits - your rights stay yours.

The cheapest way to start, and the same studio quality. Your plan is measured in pages, not book count - one page is 275 words, same as a paperback. We never count your books: 500 pages can be one long novel or ten short books of 50 pages, your call. Need more one month? Add a page pack in two taps. No credit meter, no overage shocks. Every plan is a 12-month commitment: pay monthly, or pay the year once and get two months free.
For the author shipping their first audiobooks.
For the series author who publishes every month.
For prolific authors and small publishers at volume.
Multiple authors, one account: a folder per author, batch upload.
Need more than 15,000 pages a month, or a custom plan? Write to us.
Go over your quota? Buy extra pages any time from your account - 100 or 500-page packs, added instantly and valid for 12 months. Annual billing gives you two months free on every plan.
Swap the Studio engine for top-of-market ElevenLabs narration on any plan or any single book - or buy the $499 Premium book outright. Paid plans include a monthly Premium allowance first.
Original ambient scoring matched to each chapter's mood, licensed to you outright - no royalties, no attribution. Included on Pro book, Creator and Pro; add a track to any single title. Signature scoring, where you hear and approve every cue before the mix is built, is a paid option.
Turn any audiobook into a published podcast feed - chapters as episodes, scheduled, auto-posted to YouTube. Or a $19 one-time conversion. We recommend Transistor as the host.
Your manuscript, a cast of voices, music, studio mastering, and a presentation kit in three options. This is what a plan buys, from $29 a month.
Any app can read a PDF out loud. We run your book through a full production, tailored to your story, and you approve it before we record the whole thing.
Choose your narrator, get a sample recorded from your own pages, and approve it. Production starts only after your yes.
Chapters detected, numbers, dates and abbreviations rewritten to be spoken, front matter cleaned. A page reads differently than it sounds.
From the Creator plan, your narrator and your characters each keep their own stable voice from the first chapter to the last.
Music matched to your genre, levels mastered chapter by chapter to retail spec. It sounds like a studio release, not a robot reading.
Three cover proposals, three title and subtitle ideas, a back-cover blurb and a store description written to be found. You pick what fits, with three rounds of changes on the cover.
One M4B file with named chapters and your cover, plus a store-ready package. Not happy with one chapter? We redo that chapter, not the book.
A finished, retail-ready audiobook with your rights kept. Done-for-you studios charge $500-3,000 per book - ours start at $129.
One audiobook, one warm narrator, retail-ready.
Romance, fantasy, thriller - multi-voice characters and ambient scoring.
Top-of-market, actor-grade narration.
Not sure which voice? Listen to Studio and Premium side by side.
Both voices are good and the Studio voice is always included. Premium is optional - here is exactly what changes, so you decide.
| What you get | Studio voice (included) | Premium voice (option) |
|---|---|---|
| Natural narration | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Non-fiction, guides | Romance, fiction, kids |
| Acted emotion + range | Good | Actor-grade |
| Character voices | Clean | Distinct + expressive |
| Cost | $0, included | Option / Premium book |
Pick with your ears - hear both samples.
Producing an audiobook is one afternoon. Keeping it online, streamable and downloadable by your readers, is every month after that. Every plan comes with a shelf. Need more room, or only want the shelf without the studio? Pick a tier.
For the author with a handful of titles online.
For the series author with a growing catalogue.
For small publishers holding a full back catalogue.
Included with a subscription: 10 GB on Starter, 50 GB on Creator, 250 GB on Pro - the storage tiers above only apply if you go over, or if you want hosting without the studio. We never charge for bandwidth: your readers can download as much as they like. Stop paying and you keep 30 days to export everything before anything is removed.

Competitor prices verified 2026-06-28. Annual plans on Audiobookery bill 10 months for 12.
No. You pay a flat price per book or a flat monthly plan. A 90,000-word novel costs the same whether the engine works for ten minutes or an hour - no credit meter, no overage bill.
Annual billing gives you two months free on every plan - you pay for ten months and get twelve. That is the standard across the sector and it is the cheapest way to subscribe.
Always. You own the master files, set your own retail price, and keep your royalties on every store. Unlike Apple's free AI narration, we never take the rights to your audiobook.
We publish to your podcast host through its API. We recommend Transistor for its reliable API and unlimited shows; alternatives like Spreaker and Buzzsprout are supported too.
The links in the delivery email are short-lived, but every file stays in your account for 12 months after delivery (24 months on the Agency plan). Open your account any time and download again.
