Scribd Becomes Everand: Reviews, Pricing, and Subscription Catalog

Scribd has been renamed Everand following its 2024 rebranding: the original brand name remains for documents and PDFs, while Everand covers the book and audiobook service. In 2026, Everand offers three plans—Standard at $11.99 (~€8.99/month), Plus at $16.99/month, and Deluxe at $28.99/month—for a multi-format catalog of over 1.5 million audiobooks, ebooks, magazines, podcasts, and sheet music. Available in France but with a limited French-language catalog, no official family plan, 30-day free trial.

Key points to remember

• Scribd became Everand in 2024 — Scribd remains for documents, while Everand handles books and audio
• 3 Everand plans: Standard $11.99 (~€8.99), Plus $16.99, Deluxe $28.99/month
• Over 1.5 million titles: audiobooks, e-books, magazines, podcasts, sheet music
• Over 20,000 titles available without a subscription (free to read)
• Limited French-language catalog — predominantly English-language
• No official family plan, 30-day free trial
• Everand Originals: exclusive content produced by the platform

What exactly is Everand?

Everand is Scribd’s new name for its book and audio offerings. The 2024 rebranding split the platform into two brands:

• Scribd — for documents, PDFs, academic research, and textbooks (its traditional use)
• Everand — for audiobooks, e-books, magazines, podcasts, and sheet music (new consumer brand)

The rationale: to clarify its positioning relative to pure audiobook competitors (Audible, Storytel, BookBeat), which were weighing on the Scribd brand, which was perceived as a document platform rather than an entertainment service. Everand is now available as a standalone app, separate from Scribd, which remains focused on documents.

How much will an Everand subscription cost in 2026?

Everand has operated on a three-tier pricing model since its rebranding. Prices are listed primarily in dollars (as it is a U.S.-based service), but the service is available in France with automatic currency conversion.

Everand 2026 Floor Plans

• Plan|Monthly Price|Unlockable Tracks/Month|Contract Term
• Standard|$11.99 (~€8.99/month)|1 title/month + 20,000+ free titles|No commitment
• More|$16.99/month|3 titles/month + 20,000+ free titles|No commitment
• Deluxe|$28.99/month|5 tracks/month + 20,000+ free tracks|No commitment
• Free trial | $0 | 30 days of Standard access | No commitment

The system is hybrid: over 20,000 titles remain accessible without unlocking (free to read), and each plan includes a monthly quota for premium titles that require a "ticket." Once unlocked, the title remains in your library as long as your subscription is active.

What can you read and listen to on Everand?

The Everand catalog is available in multiple formats, which sets it apart from services that offer only audiobooks.

• Over 1.5 million audiobooks and e-books — fiction, nonfiction, classics, and contemporary titles
• Magazines — a selection of digitized international magazines
• Podcasts — episodes and narrative series
• Sheet Music — Sheet Music Library (formerly part of Scribd)
• Everand Originals — exclusive content produced by the platform
• Over 20,000 tracks available without unlocking — stream freely without using up your monthly allowance

This variety makes Everand an attractive option for anyone looking for an "all-in-one" service—reading a business magazine, listening to a narrative podcast, and finishing an audiobook—all within the same app. The downside: none of these formats offers the same depth as specialized services.

Does Everand work well in France?

Yes, Everand is available in France, but there are two important limitations you should be aware of.

• Limited French-language catalog — the platform is predominantly English-speaking, with French-language content remaining a minority (unlike Storytel or BookBeat, which have invested in French-language content)
• Pricing in dollars — prices are listed in USD and automatically converted to EUR (~€8.99 for Standard)
• No official family plan —only one account per subscription, unlike BookBeat or Sybel
• App available — iOS, Android, web
• Offline mode — available for downloaded titles

For French speakers looking for a service with a wide selection of French-language content, Everand isn’t the top choice—Storytel leads the pack in this area (with over 7,000 French-language titles), followed by Sybel and BookBeat. See our 2026 Reading & Audiobooks Guide for a complete comparison.
