Audible's Black Friday offer drops its Standard plan to $0.99 a month for three months and adds a $20 bonus, and it runs all the way to Dec. 28. Paramount+ Premium is half off for a year, too, but there's a catch on timing.
Black Friday is still two weeks out, but two subscription deals are already live for anyone building a holiday watch list or road-trip playlist.
Audible now lists "$0.99/mo for the first 3 months" plus a $20 Audible bonus on its home page. After that, the plan auto-renews at $8.99 a month. Audible's fine print says the offer ends Monday, Dec. 28, 2026.
Deal sites started flagging the Audible offer Tuesday, Nov. 10, and IGN called it Amazon's Black Friday Audible deal on Wednesday night. Our math: three months at the sale price costs $2.97, compared with $26.97 at the regular rate.
How much is Audible's Black Friday deal?
Here's what Audible's own pages showed early Thursday:
Sale price: $0.99 a month for the first three months
Bonus: a $20 Audible bonus, with notice sent by email
Regular price after the deal: $8.99 a month, which matches Audible Standard
Deadline: Dec. 28, 2026
Cancel: anytime, Audible says
Audible pitches it as "save over 80%." Add the $20 bonus and the deal is worth about $44 in our math, as long as you remember to cancel or keep paying $8.99 after month three.
What do you get with Audible Standard?
Audible Standard lets you choose one audiobook a month and keep listening as long as you're a member, according to Audible's plan page. It also includes unlimited podcasts.
There are no credits on Standard, and unused monthly picks don't roll over. So if December gets busy, that month's pick is gone.
Want to keep your books for good? Audible Premium costs $14.95 a month and gives one credit a month for a title you own, plus access to the included catalog of more than 150,000 audiobooks and podcasts. Audible's plan page also lists a limited-time $99 for a year of Premium, which works out to about $8.25 a month.
Who qualifies for the Audible deal?
Audible's home page doesn't spell out eligibility for the $0.99 offer. Its separate free-trial language applies to "eligible new members," so returning members should check the price at checkout before signing up.
How much is Paramount+ for Black Friday?
Paramount+ is taking 50% off the first year of an annual Premium plan, the ad-free tier. Mashable reported Tuesday that a year of Premium costs $69.99 with the code saveannual50, down from $139.99. IGN listed it as a Black Friday deal Wednesday.
Mashable says new and returning subscribers qualify. Its writer canceled a monthly plan and was eligible the next day. Paramount+ lists Premium at $13.99 a month on its home page, so the sale works out to about $5.83 a month for the first year.
It also beats last year. Paramount+ offered two months of Premium for $2.99 a month for Black Friday 2025, Mashable noted.
To get it, pick the annual Premium plan, click "Have a promo code?" at checkout and enter the code. Paramount+ hasn't posted an end date on its site, and the same code circulated on Slickdeals back in June, so it may not last through Black Friday weekend.
What about Disney+, Hulu and Peacock?
Disney+, Hulu and Peacock hadn't announced official Black Friday deals as of early Thursday. We'll update our coverage if they do.
Paramount+ does have a separate student offer on its home page, which advertises a 50% discount for students who verify through SheerID.
When does Black Friday start?
Most retailers are already rolling. Amazon, which owns Audible, starts its Black Friday deals Nov. 19, as we reported Tuesday. Walmart says its first Black Friday deals start Thursday, and Target opens stores at 6 a.m. on Black Friday.
For subscription deals, the best move is simple: set a phone reminder a few days before the promo price ends. A $0.99 deal stops being cute the month it quietly becomes $8.99.
