Kobo Plus and Kindle Unlimited are both popular e-book subscription services. They offer a wide range of books for a monthly fee, allowing users to read their favorite titles seamlessly.

When it comes to the books catalog and cost, Kobo Plus has over 1.3 million e-books and about 100,000 audiobooks. The cost for Kobo Plus starts at $7.99 monthly for a Kobo Plus Read or Kobo Plus Listen and $9.99 for both. On the other hand, Kindle Unlimited has more than 4 million titles/books and many audiobooks in its library. The cost for Kindle Unlimited has been increased from $9.99 to $11.99 for a monthly membership.

In terms of availability, Kobo Plus is accessible only in limited locations like the US, the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Portugal, and Australia. However, Kindle Unlimited has a wider reach.

As for borrows, saves, and trial period, Kindle Unlimited allows you to save around 20 titles in the library. With Kobo Plus, you can store and hold around 15 titles (at a time) on your device. There is no limit to the number of books/titles that you can download through Kobo Plus plans. Kobo Plus offers a trial period of 14 days for FNAC customers and 30 days for customers worldwide. Kindle Unlimited also offers a trial period of 30 days.

Despite the extensive library of Kobo Plus, readers may not find many leading titles from prominent authors. Meanwhile, Kindle Unlimited plans have a lot to offer to the readers. While it lacks books from leading publishing houses like Penguin Random House, Hachette, Macmillan HarperCollins, or Simon and Schuster, there are undoubtedly more fascinating reads from well-known authors in Kindle Unlimited.
