Which trial to start first
Start with Amazon Prime if you order from Amazon at all: 30 days of unlimited One-Day Delivery, Prime Video and Prime-only deals cost nothing, and the trial covers any big shop you have planned around Prime Day or Black Friday. Students and anyone aged 18 to 24 should take the Prime for Students and 18–24s version instead: six months free, then half price.
Audible states that Amazon Prime members pick two free titles in their first Audible trial instead of one.
Readers and listeners
Audible suits people who listen while commuting, driving or training: Standard lets you pick one audiobook a month for £5.99 after the trial, and Premium gives you a credit for a title you keep, plus the Plus Catalogue, for £8.99.
Kindle Unlimited suits people who read a lot of eBooks: millions of titles, up to 20 at a time, for £9.49 a month after 30 days free. It also includes thousands of audiobooks, and you do not need a Kindle.
Music
Prime already includes Amazon Music Prime. Music Unlimited is the upgrade to 100 million songs on demand in HD and Ultra HD, at £11.99 a month for Prime members after the free trial. Amazon shows the current trial length on its page before you confirm.
How the trials work
Every one of these trials is for new members, needs a valid credit card and renews automatically at the price shown unless you cancel from your Amazon account before it ends. None needs a code: each starts on Amazon's own sign-up page, which is where every button on HonestCodes goes. Every figure here was read on Amazon's pages on 24 September 2026.
