Audible has Plus, but there is a very limited selection and they have basically gutted it to all but AI books.
It *is* true they have a big catalog included for “free” (something like 70,000 titles), but it’s rented, not owned. And the Plus catalog can be very hit or miss depending on what genres you like. Good for exploring, not great if you want specific titles.
Parent context: They have their Audible Plus plan (which keeps being called new despite it being around for at least 2+ years?) where you get a credit but also unlimited access to whatever is in the catalog. They have changed the payment structure where your credit is now divided between the book you spent your credit on AND however many Audible Plus books you listened to that month. Reply: Basically, I don't really trust the company or their business practices in general. And i assume any change they make to tiered pay systems is to ultimately help them over consumer or artist.

They have a good selection of books free on Audible Plus (but sometimes it’s part 3 of 3 which is irritating)
It’s so hard to find the horror section on audible when searching the “included in audible plus” categories for some reason.
