Buy When You Want to Listen
No subscription. No monthly commitment. No caps on consumption. At xigxag, you buy audiobooks when you want them and prices drop the more you listen.
It works for everyone: occasional listeners who want one great book without signing up for a plan, and dedicated listeners who want affordable binge listening all year round.
As long as you maintain your account, the audiobooks you buy are yours to keep and listen to again and again.
The More You Listen, the Less You Pay
No subscription required. Prices drop automatically after every five books. You don’t have to buy all at once: we keep track and apply the discount automatically. Plus, there’s always a selection of titles available at £3.99.
Prices reset annually from your first purchase. Full price titles only; discounted titles, gift codes and gifts are excluded.
Why We Recommend Buying on the Web
While we offer consumers the convenience of in-app purchase, we kindly ask our customers to buy from our website. Buying on web is far more reliable, and saves us a rather hefty big tech transaction tax on every purchase. But we’re not allowed to direct users to our website from the app!
When you buy an audiobook via the xigxag app, we’re forced to use Apple and Google’s in-app payments solution. They charge us 3x or more than our website and pay us our own revenue weeks later.
Buying on our website means more of your money goes to us and to the publishers and authors who make the books. It also means a better experience for you.
Download or Stream
Every audiobook you buy can be streamed instantly or downloaded to your device for offline listening. Download for the train, stream at home. However you listen, the audiobook is yours.
How to Get Started
Why Listeners Choose xigxag

What Our Listeners Say
Real reviews from real listeners on the App Store
The UK’s Independent Audiobook App
xigxag is a UK-based, independent audiobook app built for people who love listening. Unlike subscription services that lock you into monthly payments, xigxag lets you buy audiobooks individually, with prices that get better the more you listen.
Whether you are a casual listener picking up one audiobook a month or a dedicated binge listener getting through fifty a year, xigxag’s pricing model encourages and rewards you. Start at £8.99 per audiobook and unlock discounts all the way down to £4.99 after every five books you buy.
A growing number of audiobooks on xigxag are available as an x-book®, our fully integrated listen-and-read experience. Text appears on screen synchronised to the human narration, so you can follow along word by word. It is a powerful tool for language learners, neurodivergent listeners, and anyone who wants to get more from their audiobooks. Look out for the purple x-book ribbon, or use the x-book filter when you search.
xigxag is a certified B Corp™ and a top-rated bookshop and Best Buy for Audiobooks by Ethical Consumer. We believe that great audiobooks should be affordable, accessible and enjoyable for everyone, without forcing people into subscriptions they do not need.
