It's really unfortunate
It's really unfortunate. I absolutely loved everand and scribd but since they have changed their pricing model which now limits access to books, I no longer see the value in paying the same price for far less benefits. It seems a though they adopted a similar model to Audible. I'm highly disappointed
Response from EverandJul 29, 2025
Hi there, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I completely understand how disappointing it is to see something you’ve cherished transform, especially when Everand provided a unique experience that you enjoyed so much. Our decision to change the system was not made lightly. We’ve heard from many in our community about the need for more transparency and a broader selection of bestselling and new release titles. While the previous model allowed extensive access, it often came with hidden limitations, like sudden content unavailability or access throttling, which we know caused frustration. The new unlock system aims to provide more control and predictability, so you can select the books you want without those unexpected restrictions. With Everand, we’re committed to offering competitive pricing while delivering great value. Subscriptions start at just $11.99 USD/month for access to 1 premium title, compared to similar services that often begin at $14.95 USD. Our Plus plan, at $16.99 USD for 3 premium titles per month, provides even more value compared to other platforms, which typically charge $22.95 USD for only 2 titles. Additionally, any titles you unlock remain accessible for the duration of your subscription, and if you ever need to cancel, they’ll still be there if you decide to rejoin with the same email. This means you’ll never lose your favorite reads or listens if you return. We’re also excited to be expanding our catalog to include over 150K new titles, in addition to the unlimited content, so there’s even more to explore and enjoy. We recognize this is a significant shift and may feel like a step away from what made Everand special. We’re incredibly grateful for the time you’ve spent discovering hidden gems on Everand, and we’re truly sorry if the new system doesn’t align with your needs. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re committed to evolving based on what our community shares. If you’d like to discuss further or share additional thoughts, please respond to this message and I’m happy to share this feedback with our internal team. Thank you for being part of the Everand community. Please let me know if I can assist with anything else!
