Where to listen to Free Audiobooks (Free Audiobook Trials 2026)
It’s my new years resolution to read more books this year, and I’m including audiobooks (let’s not get into the debate!).
Carving out time to read a physical book feels like it’s getting increasingly harder; audiobooks are convenient, and we can listen whilst batch cooking, cleaning or exercising.
And because my second new year’s resolution is to save more money this year, I’ve scoured the internet for some of the best audiobook freebies, so we can make the most of these audiobook free trials and hit our reading goals with ease!
(Psst! If another of your new year’s resolutions is getting fitter, I’ve also compiled a list of every gym offering a free pass or trial that you should probably check out)
Where to listen to Free Audiobooks (Free Audiobook Trials 2026)
BookBeat – 45 day Free Trial
Book Beat are offering a huge 45 days of free audiobooks for new customers!
Just sign up to Book Beat to begin your trial. Simple!
Popular titles you can listen to for free include The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Housemaid, Yellowface, Before the Coffee Gets Cold, A Little Life and loads more.
I’ve used Book Beat and I really like the way it works – you are allocated an amount of reading credits, and then you can use these towards each hour you spend listening to different audiobooks. It’s much more flexible than other providers I’ve used, and definitely worth trying!
Click here to sign up to Book Beat and start listening for free.
Audible – 1 free audiobook credit (or 2 for Prime members)
New customers can try Audible Premium Plus for 30 days, completely free. This 30 day trial includes a credit for one free audiobook for any premium titles, (or 2 if you’re a Prime customer!) The book is yours to keep too, even if you cancel the subscription.
You’ll also be able to access the Audible Plus Catalog of podcasts, audiobooks, guided wellness, and Audible Originals, and these require zero credits, so there’s plenty to get stuck into!
Hail Mary, Red Rising, and Daisy Jones and the Six are just a few on my ever growing audiobook TBR list at the moment, and I’ll be making the most of this trial to listen to one for free!
Sign up to Audible and choose your free audiobook here.
Get one Month of Free Magazines
If you are a fan of flicking through a magazine on holiday, in the bath or whilst out and about grabbing a coffee, but you’ve been trying to cut down and save money, this is the perfect app for you!
Readly offer unlimited access to over 7,000 magazine titles, including Good Housekeeping, Hello!, Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan and more. It’s a great opportunity for brides-to-be looking for inspiration to dip into wedding magazines, or for first time buyers to research home decor – individual magazines can be pricey, so this is a much more cost effective way to read multiple titles.
So although Readly is primarily a magazine app and not technically audiobooks, the app has an audio player so you can listen to articles.
Readly are currently offering a one month free trial for new customers. Go go!
Everand – 30 Day Free Trial
Everand is a digital reading subscription offering audiobooks, ebooks, podcasts and original titles.
Everand usually costs £10.99 per month for Standard plan (1 book per month) or £14.99 per month for their Plus plan (3 books per month).
They are currently running a free trial, so you can choose one book for the first month for free! For more information and to check out the free 30 day trial, click here.
Borrow Audiobooks from your Local Library
Many public libraries offer apps you can use to borrow e-books, audiobooks and other digital titles, completely free!
Examples of popular apps include Borrowbox, Libby and ULibrary – become a member at your local library, download the supported apps and you can start selecting from your TBR list.
