Detailed Review
The plan table shows how the offer is split: there is a tier for eBooks only, a tier that also unlocks audiobooks, and cheaper tiers that cap the number of pages you can read.
The site footer names Legimi S.A. as the operator, and the pricing page, in Polish, shows the offer in zloty. Entry plans start at 14.99 PLN a month according to the home page, and a partnership banner offers SkyShowtime in a premium bundle.
What the Plan Table Says
The top plan, eBooks plus audiobooks without a limit, is advertised at 49.99 PLN a month, with the regular price crossed out at 54.99 PLN and a lowest price in the last 30 days of 44.99 PLN. The eBooks-only plan is 44.99 PLN, down from 49.99 PLN.
The catalogue on the audiobook tier is described as roughly 240,000 titles, and reading and listening can be swapped inside one title.
Contract Length
Buyers choose between a 12-month agreement and an indefinite one. The pricing page presents the two as columns, so the commitment is visible before checkout.
That is a different arrangement from the cancel-any-time wording on the Nordic apps listed here.
Hardware Bundles
Legimi sells eReaders and lists bundles that pair a reader with a subscription, including an offer of a reader for 1 zloty. The company also runs a book club, a points scheme and a blog.
These extras suit people who read on a dedicated device more than on a phone.
Limitations to Consider
The service is Polish-language, so the interface and most of the catalogue serve Polish readers, and prices were seen in zloty only. The 12-month option ties up money, and promotional prices are shown beside a crossed-out regular price that changes. The eBooks-only plan is marked as having no audiobooks. For listeners outside Poland, Audioteka is the audio-first Polish option and Storytel covers more languages.
Who Should Use Legimi
Polish-speaking readers who want eBooks and audiobooks under one subscription and are comfortable with a contract term.
