By bringing these books into the same seamless home as your podcasts and music, we aim to widen the reach of the Church’s wisdom and make the timeless truth of our faith more accessible for the modern world.

The problem with Audible

You pay $15/month but only get one book. Want to listen to more? That's another $15. And another. Before you know it, you're spending $45-60/month on audiobooks.

$9.99/month gets you unlimited access* to our entire library of Catholic titles along with other premium features like ad-free listening, listening to music offline, and unlimited custom playlist creation.

* Access to all titles is unlimited, but the listening time is capped at 15 hours/month for basic subscription.

Audiobooks FAQs

Getting Started

  • You must upgrade to the premium account. Once premium, you will see a tab in the browse page for Audiobooks.

  • 15 hours a month with a premium account, and 25 hours a month with Audiobooks+.

  • We welcome all topics as long as the content is appropriate and does not contradict the Magisterium and teachings of the Catholic Church.

Revenue & Royalties

  • Fio calculates royalties based on percentage of consumption. Partial listens or repeat listens generate royalties, giving publishers better revenue opportunities than secular apps. Rates are subject to change at Fio’s discretion.

  • Payments are made monthly for earnings above the minimum threshold of $50. For now we only pay through PayPal, though we are exploring other forms of payment.

Promotion & Analytics

  • Soon! We are working on a Fio for Creators website so you can see analytics, manage your titles, and see royalty payout information.

  • Engage with the community, collaborate with other Catholic artists, maintain consistent releases, and participate in platform events and features.
