Spotify is rolling out an upgrade called Audiobooks+ for its family plan subscribers, making it easier for multiple users to access audiobooks under one account. Think of it like adding a shared bookshelf to your existing music and podcast library—no more fighting over who gets to listen next.

Editor’s Note: Audiobooks are having a moment, and Spotify wants a bigger piece of the pie. By bundling them into family plans, they’re not just competing with Audible but also making reading (or listening) more accessible for households. For book lovers juggling subscriptions, this could be a wallet-friendly win.

Peacock is hiking its subscription prices—again. This isn't the first time, and it likely won’t be the last, as streaming services keep testing how much viewers are willing to pay. If you're a subscriber, brace for a slightly heavier hit to your wallet.

Editor’s Note: Another price bump means streaming is getting pricier, mirroring an industry-wide trend where platforms keep nudging costs up after hooking users. For consumers, it’s a reminder that the "golden age" of cheap, abundant streaming might be fading—budgets, take note.
