Audiobook and e-book streaming with flexible hour-based plans, family profiles, offline listening, and a catalog spanning 11 European markets.
Swedish audiobook and e-book streaming across 11 European markets, from Stockholm.
Nextory is a Swedish audiobook and e-book streaming service from Stockholm, live in 11 European markets including Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and the Nordics. Founded in 2015, it has become one of Europe's largest reading subscriptions, with well over a million titles on the Swedish catalog alone.
Plans are hour-based, so light listeners pay less than daily commuters, and the Unlimited tier removes the cap entirely with up to 4 family profiles on one subscription. Apps for iOS and Android handle offline downloads, personalized recommendations, curated lists, kids' content, and sleep stories.
Key features:
- Audiobooks, e-books, and magazines in one subscription
- Hour-based plans that match price to actual listening time
- Family accounts with up to 4 profiles on the top tier
- Offline downloads for flights, commutes, and roaming-free travel
- 11 European markets with strong local-language catalogs
- Kids' section and sleep stories alongside the main catalog
- Generous 42-day trial to test the full service
Nextory is operated by Nextory AB, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and processes subscriber data under GDPR. Unlike Audible, there are no credits to manage: everything in the catalog streams freely within your plan hours.
Ideal for households across Europe that want Audible-scale listening with local-language depth and Swedish ownership.
