Name: Libro.fm
Brand: Libro.fm

Libro.fm starts at $14.17 a month in the US (Annual · 12 credits, 12 mo paid up front). Libro.fm sells audiobook credits that support the independent bookstore you choose. There are two monthly plans (1 or 2 credits a month) and an annual plan with 12 credits added right away. A credit buys any audiobook it can be used on, whatever the list price, and both the credits and the books stay yours if you cancel.
