Audible’s free trial gives new members 30 days of full Premium Plus access before any charge applies — here’s exactly what’s included and how to avoid surprise renewal charges.

What the 30-Day Trial Includes

  • 1 credit, redeemable for any title in the full catalog regardless of price
  • Unlimited streaming access to the Plus Catalog (11,000+ included titles) for the full 30 days
  • Amazon Prime members get 2 credits instead of 1 on their first trial

You Keep the Book Even If You Cancel

Whatever title you redeem with your trial credit is yours to keep permanently — even if you cancel on day one of the trial. This makes the trial genuinely risk-free for claiming one (or two, for Prime members) audiobooks.

How to Avoid Being Charged After the Trial

  1. Sign up for the trial, redeem your credit(s) right away rather than waiting
  2. Set a personal reminder a few days before day 30
  3. If you don’t want to continue, cancel via Audible.com → Account Details → Cancel membership (cancellation isn’t available inside the mobile app)

One Trial Per Account

The free trial is available once per Amazon account. If you’ve previously had an Audible membership, you’re generally not eligible for a second free trial on the same account.
