Facts read 29 Sep 2026 – 15 Oct 2026
Audiobooks.com leads this list of 32 (record score 6.0, free plan). Ubook is next (record score 6.0, free plan), and LibriVox is the next highest-placed with a free plan (record score 5.8).
Audiobook apps can provide different routes to titles, from borrowing to purchase or catalog access. Libby, Hoopla, and Kobo Books are the first entries, with Libro.fm and AudiobooksNow among those that follow. Compare each app’s access model and included catalog, then check for DRM-free downloads, offline listening, and family sharing. Mobile platform support can matter if you listen across devices, while free-plan availability and paid-from pricing offer useful cost details. Use these listed features to weigh how an app’s way of providing books fits your listening preferences.
