- Credits: These are like golden tickets to the audiobook world. Most memberships come with a monthly credit, allowing you to snag any audiobook (regardless of price) for free. It's basically like having your own personal audiobook fairy godmother.
- Cash: This is the good ol' fashioned way of paying. If you don't have a membership or you have your heart set on a specific audiobook that isn't covered by a credit, you can just whip out your wallet.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for Audible sales! They have them pretty frequently, and you can snag some amazing deals on audiobooks.
