Author's Republic is a free, non-exclusive audiobook aggregator that distributes to more retail and library channels (50+) than any other commission-based competitor. Confirmed permanent at 80% royalty as of February 2025, it serves authors in 200+ countries and includes a direct integration with Chirp Audiobook Deals for promotional submissions. Channel breadth is its primary edge over Voices by INaudio.

Best for: Authors targeting international audiobook channels (BookBeat, Storytel, Nextory, Bookmate) or wanting the broadest possible distribution net
Key features: 50+ partner channels, direct Chirp Audiobook Deals submissions, narrator marketplace, monthly PayPal payments with $10 threshold, accepts authors from 200+ countries
Pricing: Free; Author's Republic keeps 20% of net receipts; no setup or annual fee
Limitations: No self-serve channel-by-channel opt-out (must contact support to disable specific channels); slightly thinner library coverage than INaudio's OverDrive/Hoopla emphasis
Why authors love it: Strongest international footprint of any free aggregator and the only one with built-in Chirp promo access — solid standalone choice or complement to INaudio
