Co-subscriptions are easy to understand, but it's a good idea to check how they work before you get started. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Sharesub offers cost-sharing for all subscriptions that include a group plan. However, be sure to review the terms and conditions for sharing services, and avoid subscriptions from other countries: this may limit the available content or even block access to the account.
Your peer-to-peer transactions are processed in accordance with European regulations (PSD2): the identities of the organizers are verified, and payments are held for one month to allow for any refunds.
Members are free to leave at any time, but will not receive a refund for the current month. This allows the organizer to retain a higher participation fee, and the available spots will be moved to the top of the list to fill the group quickly.
No, most of the time, services are shared via an invitation link or an email invitation. You then join the group using your own username and password to ensure the confidentiality of your data. In the few cases where this is necessary, a secure manager is made available to you. You may also sometimes use a dedicated profile, protected by a PIN.
No Scribd competitor on Sharesub has a UK price yet, so this comparison looks at Scribd's own two products instead. Scribd gives unlimited access to documents and PDFs on a single account; Everand, its sister brand, covers audiobooks, ebooks and magazines with a separate subscription. Audible (around £8.99 a month), Kindle Unlimited (around £9.49 a month) and Storytel are not listed on Sharesub for the UK, so they are mentioned here for reference only, without a link.
Practical guides, comparisons and tips to cut the cost of a reading or audiobook subscription for good.
In United Kingdom, Scribd costs £10.99 / month for unlimited access to documents. Scribd has no official multi-user account: on Sharesub, this single account is shared between 4 people using common login details, which brings the price down to £2.75 per person. A Sharesub place costs £3.96 / month, fees included.
Shared offer on Sharesub, for up to 4 members. The best cost per place when the group is full.
One place in a Scribd group, all fees included, no commitment.
Scribd Inc. runs two separate subscriptions, billed apart since the November 2023 split: Scribd gives unlimited access to documents and PDFs, while Everand covers audiobooks, ebooks and magazines with a monthly "unlock" system introduced in late 2024. Scribd refers to the Scribd offer, the only one listed on Sharesub.
The price of Scribd's unlimited subscription has moved little over the years: $9.99 when the offer launched in 2013, cut to $8.99 for several years after that, then raised to around $9.99 after the Everand split in late 2023, reaching £10.99 today. Shared between 4 people, it costs £2.75 each.
The full subscription price has moved little over the years, but sharing it brings the cost down to £2.75 per person when all 4 places are used.
Scribd applies the same nominal price in most eurozone countries: Ireland, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain all show £10.99. The UK, with its own currency, shows the same figure but in pounds.
Scribd does not run permanent promo codes: its main offer is the 30-day free trial for new members, with no commitment. Sharing a Scribd subscription brings a recurring saving: the price per person is lower every month, not only during the trial.
The most reliable option is to share the account between 4 people and split the cost. On Sharesub, a place costs £3.96 / month, fees included, instead of paying £10.99 on your own. You can also try the service free for 30 days before committing.
In United Kingdom, Scribd costs £10.99 / month. Split between 4 people, that is £2.75 per person. On Sharesub, free places in a group are promoted so that it fills up quickly.
A place costs £3.96 / month, fees included. You save around 64% compared with the price of the full subscription. Payment is monthly with no commitment: you can leave the group at any time, and the current month remains due.
Yes, when a place is available. You choose an offer, pay for your place online, and the organiser then sends you the login details for the shared account. If all public offers are full, turn on the availability alert to be notified as soon as a place opens up.
Scribd has no separate profiles: sharing means using common login details on a single account. In practice, that leaves real room: up to 4 devices registered for offline reading, any given book open on up to 6 devices, and 3 different browsers within 24 hours. That is enough for several people reading at their own pace, without heavy simultaneous use. On Sharesub, keep this kind of offer for people you trust, and do not pass the login details beyond the group.
They are two separate subscriptions from the same company, billed apart since the November 2023 split. Scribd gives unlimited access to documents, PDFs, sheet music and presentations. Everand covers audiobooks, ebooks and magazines, with a number of premium-title "unlocks" depending on the plan. The shared offer on Sharesub, Scribd, refers to Scribd only.
Sharesub adds a service fee to the price paid by members. It is already included in the price shown for a place (£3.96 / month). Payments are processed by Stripe, a licensed payment provider. As a financial service, Sharesub can verify organisers' identity and hold funds for the relevant period, so that a refund is possible if the month is not used.
Yes, new members get a 30-day free trial, which you can cancel at any time from your account settings before it ends. There is no documented official student discount for Scribd in the UK: sharing a subscription remains the most reliable way to cut the cost for good.
