Our verdict
Nextory suits readers who want a single subscription covering audiobooks and ebooks, with family profiles and offline listening included. Its catalogue of 1,400,000 titles gives you plenty to browse, though readers who listen hard should weigh the hour cap before they start.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A free trial of 42 days is long enough to finish a title and start another before you pay.
- The catalogue of 1,400,000 titles ranks at position 3 among 20 brands compared.
- Content types include audiobooks and ebooks, so a title that outlasts a commute can move to reading and the bill stays the same.
- Family profiles and offline listening are both included, which matters on trains, on flights and in shared family accounts.
Cons
- Access is hour-capped at 30 hours, so heavy listeners will reach the ceiling while light readers pay for headroom they never use.
- Support runs on help centre only, so billing and account questions go through written help rather than a live line.
- The starting price of SEK 89 ranks at position 9 among 24 brands compared, so entry is not among the cheapest offers in the group.
- Availability is listed for FR, BE and NL, so readers outside those European markets should check billing and language support before signing up.
Who it suits
- Readers who want a single account covering both audiobooks and ebooks instead of paying for separate services.
- Households that want separate family profiles, with each reader keeping their own history on a shared plan.
- Commuters and travellers who want offline downloads from a wide shelf rather than streaming on a patchy connection.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who would rather hold a monthly rate in another currency: Audible is listed at CAD 8.99 a month, so the comparison skips the krona conversion.
- Anyone who plans to listen far past the 30 hour cap: Readability, listed at $19.99 a month, is worth a look if reading is the main habit.
- Readers on a tight monthly budget: AfriKDP, listed at $3 a month, is the lowest monthly figure among the alternatives listed here.
How it compares on our data
Nextory sits in the middle of the field on the numbers tracked here, and the shape of that middle is worth reading. On catalogue size it holds position 3 among 20 brands, so the shelves are deep even though the standing is not at the top. On free trial length it lands at position 2 among 16 brands, a stronger showing than the catalogue rank. The hour cap places it at position 3 among 4 brands, a small comparison group where the brands sit close together. Price is where the shape changes. The starting price ranks at position 9 among 24 brands, so entry is not among the cheapest offers in the group. The monthly price ranks at position 11 among 22 brands, a middle position. Read the two price ranks together. A competitive starting figure paired with a mid-field monthly figure means the first bill flatters the plan and the ongoing bill tells the longer story. Readers who compare on the headline number alone will get the wrong impression of what they will keep paying.
Plans and prices
Nextory lists its prices in Swedish kronor, and readers who separate them get a clearer picture. A Nextory plan starts at SEK 89, which is the entry figure you meet first. The ongoing Nextory monthly price is SEK 129, and that is the number that decides whether the plan stays good value. The gap between the two is the practical question. A friendly starting price makes signing up easy, but the monthly figure sets the pace for the rest of your time on the service. Divide the monthly price by the number of books you would realistically finish in a month and you get a rough per-book cost that is easier to compare than a headline figure on its own. Both numbers are quoted in the same currency, so the ratio between them holds without any conversion. The same care applies when you line this plan up against another provider, since a price in another currency moves with the exchange rate and the amount that leaves your account is not quite the number on the page.
Core features
Here is what your money touches. The free trial runs 42 days, long enough to finish a book and start another before you decide. After that, access is hour-capped at 30 hours, so the model turns on listening time rather than on downloads or credits. Behind the cap sits a catalogue of 1,400,000 titles. Family profiles and offline listening round out the offer. Family profiles let several people in a household keep their own reading history and progress under a shared account, which matters when adults and children read at different speeds. Offline listening means anything you download keeps playing on a train, a flight or a weak mobile signal, so downloads are worth setting up before you travel rather than at the gate. Test the plan against your own habits while the trial is open. Note how quickly the cap of 30 hours fills, how often you reach the far end of the catalogue, and whether the household actually uses the family profiles. Those checks tell you more than any headline figure, and they cost nothing to run before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Nextory cost?+
Nextory quotes a starting price of SEK 89 and a monthly price of SEK 129, both in Swedish kronor. The starting price is the number you meet first, and the monthly price is the rate that keeps running after the trial ends. Weight the monthly figure more heavily, since that is what pays for continued listening.
Is there a free trial, and how long does it last?+
The free trial runs 42 days. That is long enough to finish a full audiobook, start a second and get a feel for the hour cap before you pay. Plan what you listen to during it, and check the monthly price of SEK 129 early, so the end of the trial is not a surprise.
Is there a limit on how much I can listen?+
Access follows an hour cap rather than unlimited listening, and the cap is 30 hours. That shape suits steady readers who finish books at a regular pace. If you tend to leave audio running in the background or work through long titles in a week, work out how quickly the cap fills before you commit to a plan.
How large is the catalogue, and what formats are in it?+
The catalogue holds 1,400,000 titles, and content types include audiobooks and ebooks. Both formats arrive on the same plan, so you can start a title as an audiobook on a walk and pick another as an ebook when you would rather read. Check the cap alongside the size, because a deep shelf helps only if you can reach the books.
Can several people in my house use one account?+
Family profiles are included, so several people in a household can use a single account with their own reading history and progress. That is useful when adults and children read at different speeds or want different shelves. Remember that everyone draws on the same plan, with the same free trial of 42 days and the same conditions for each profile.
Can I download books to listen offline?+
Offline listening is supported, so anything you download keeps playing without a connection on a train, a flight or a thin mobile signal. The downloads come from the same library of 1,400,000 titles, and content types include audiobooks and ebooks. Set your downloads up before you travel, and pair them with family profiles if the household listens on the move.
Which countries is Nextory available in?+
Nextory runs in the markets listed as FR, BE and NL, and pricing is quoted in Swedish kronor. That currency detail matters if you pay in another one, because your bank sets the conversion and it moves. If you sit outside those markets, check billing and language support for your country before you start a trial.
How do I get help from Nextory?+
Support runs on help centre only, which means written help rather than a live phone or chat line. For a subscription, that is where you go with billing questions, plan changes and cap problems. Read the hour cap terms carefully before you write, so your question has a clear answer, and have your account details ready.
