It's all about them licensing deals. Audiobooks cost more to acquire, so locking them helps Spotify recoup costs.

Spotify locks audiobooks behind a paywall because they’re usually longer and more complex to license compared to music tracks. Gotta pay the bills!

Audiobooks are locked to ensure fair compensation for authors and publishers. Plus, Spotify needs to keep the lights on!
