Audible is the world's most popular audiobook site, with more than 50,000 audiobooks and sales growing by more than 40% a year. Its recording studios are churning out more titles around the clock to keep up with demand, and Audible offers podcasts as well. Audible offers two subscription plans: Audible Plus and Audible Premium Plus to meet different needs.

Price

9.99 VS 7.95/14.95

Kindle Unlimited pricing is unique, with $9.99 for unlimited e-books and audiobooks, but Kindle Unlimited can only borrow 10 books at a time. Audible subscriptions are divided into Audible Plus and Audible Premium Plus. Audible Plus is cheaper and offer fewer audiobooks than Premium.

Content

The Kindle is known for selling a large number of e-books, so if you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, you can enjoy tens of thousands of e-books on the Kindle, which is certainly the best choice if you really love reading. If you're an audiobook lover, Audible is for you. Kindle Unlimited only has thousands of audiobooks, while Audible provides more than 50,000 audiobooks. Among other things, Audible also offers lots of podcasts, which are great to listen to when you're cooking, exercising, or whatever.

Quality

Kindle e-books are certainly of good quality, and you can completely immerse yourself in books with a Kindle. But Kindle audiobooks are not only fewer in number but not as beautifully spoken as Audible. Audible, after all, sells audiobooks and sometimes uses celebrities to record them, so it's a better experience than Kindle Unlimited.

Format

Audible audiobooks have always been in protected AA/AAX format, while Kindle audiobooks are generally AAX format, but will be available in MP3 format for those who want to buy them separately. MP3 is now the most popular music format and can be played on a variety of devices, while AA/AAX can only be played on dedicated websites. In this respect, Kindle Unlimited audiobooks have fewer restrictions than Audible audiobooks.
