Storytel

Storytel is one of the world's largest audiobook streaming services, founded in Stockholm and listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, streaming hundreds of thousands of audiobooks and e-books across 25+ markets from the Nordics through Europe to Asia. It proved subscription audiobooks worked before Audible copied the model.

Subscriptions include the whole catalog with offline listening, kids' mode, sleep timers, and speed control, plus Storytel Originals, exclusive series produced in local languages. Local-language depth is the moat: Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Polish, Spanish, and many more catalogs are curated by in-market teams rather than translated afterthoughts.

Key features:

• Hundreds of thousands of titles streamed within one subscription
• Storytel Originals with exclusive local-language series
• 25+ markets with locally curated catalogs
• Offline listening with downloads on iOS and Android
• Kids' mode with a safe, age-filtered library
• Family options with multiple profiles per subscription
• E-books included alongside audio in most markets

Storytel is operated by Storytel AB, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, with subscriber data processed under GDPR. Its scale makes it the only European service that competes with Audible globally, not just regionally.

Ideal for listeners anywhere in Europe who want a full streaming catalog in their own language from a Swedish public company.
