Let’s be honest, listening to an audiobook is much easier than reading one and with so many of us with more time on our hands this year, there has been an incredible increase in the amount of audiobook and ebook downloads.

What service is best for everyone? It usually comes down to preference and ease of usage.

AllYouCanBooks, which was founded by Yuri Mintskovsky in 2010, has featured in numerous entertainment magazines and television programs, such as FOX, StarTribune and Tech Times. It also features on TV shows like Dailymotion and Lifewire. The company is still in existence after a decade.

AllYouCanBooks.com was reviewed by us to see how it compares against other audiobook service providers, namely Audible and Audiobooks.com.

All You Can Books review

Before we can compare AllYouCanBooks.com and other audiobook services, let’s first take a look at the features it has.

• Price
• Article
• Compatibility
• Cancellation

1. Price

All You Can Books

Unlimited access to over 40000+ ebooks, audiobooks and foreign languages courses is available at a $19.99 per month price with no restrictions.  The only pricing option is $19.99, which is slightly more than the other audiobook service prices. You can access unlimited content just like Scribd. AllYouCanBooks is different because you are able to keep any content downloaded during the 30-day trial.

I don’t know about you, but this seemed a little too good to be true and upon further research of this particular nugget of information, I found no mention of anyone successfully downloading and keeping content during their free trial without charge.

Many AllYouCanBooks reviews on the internet claim that customers have been charged even though they cancelled their trial. This is not cool.  

Audiobook

Audible gives new members a 30-day free trial. One credit is available to you during your trial. You can use this credit for any book. The trial period expires 30 days before you can cancel. You will then be placed on the Gold plan for $14.95.

Audible offers two subscription options (Gold and Platinum), as well an annual plan. 

Audiobooks.com

Audiobooks.com offers a 30-day free trial. During this time, you have access to any 2 books and a VIP bonus book. Similar to Audible the monthly cost is $14.95. Only one subscription option is available. You will receive 1 credit each month, and 1 VIP book.

Scribd

Scribd offers a free 30-day trial before you pay $8.99 per month. Scribd has unlimited access to all content. Scribd is also available to students for $4.99 per month. You get 30 day free access to Scribd and a four-month subscription to New York Times Digital.

2. Article

All You Can Books

AllYouCanBooks’ quick search shows it has 40000+ ebooks and audiobooks. However, it’s not that easy to search the available titles without first signing up. It’s possible to find the AllYouCanBooks lists with a bit of online investigation. Most of the Top100 lists contain classics. These can be downloaded online free, and are also available for download (free) through other audiobook services such as Audible.

The AllYouCanBooks site has another problem. I couldn’t find any of my favorite novels. This is a major disappointment if you’re an avid reader and are looking for new content. AllYouCanBooks customer reviews have shown that many users cancel within the 30-day trial because they don’t get what they need.

Audiobook

Audible’s audiobook library includes over 20.000 titles. They also have Audible original and exclusive content which they have deemed “ spoken word entertainment”. There are many podcasts that cover every genre.

Audiobooks.com

Audiobooks.com gives you access to over 200,000 books as well as 1.2 Million podcasts from the VIP and premium libraries.

Audiobooks.com has an audiobook section completely for free.

Scribd

Scribd currently has more than 1,000,000 books and is continually growing. You can find multiple categories on Scribd. Remember, like All You Can Books you have unlimited access to all titles! Credits aren’t a restriction.

4. Cancellation

All You Can Books

This problem has been repeatedly mentioned in online AllYouCanBooks reviews. Users have had to cancel the subscription. They cancelled the subscription, but still received a credit card charge.

All You Can Books Comparative

To give you an easy visual of what is different between All You Can Books and the other audiobook services like Audiobook, Audiobooks.com and Scribd; let’s have a look at the table below.
