Spotify has introduced a new Messages feature that allows customers to exchange audiobooks (both in Premium and Free version).

2025. Spotify added new subscription option for audiobooks
As you know, Spotify (unlike Audible) charges subscribers $11.99 for certain amount of audiobook listening time (15 hours) per month. This was done because people subscribed to Spotify mainly to listen to music without ads. Now, the service has added special option for audiobook listeners. The Audiobooks+ subscription gives an additional 15 hours of listening each month on top of the current base plan. Users can also purchase an additional 10 hours if they run out of monthly hours. Spotify claims that the new plan will help publishers and authors attract new listeners, increase revenue and together help the book industry reach new heights.
