This company is all over the place with inconsistency!

Went to do the deal for $10/$17 mentioned here, opened app and creates an account. In-App deal currently is less for Pro ($13 vs $17)
https://ibb.co/6wrPnZb

At same time, if you search to open website they are still promoting the Black Friday deal at $20.

Three different prices, all at same time.

In short, try creating a new account in the app for the most savings currently!
FYI on auto renewal (from website)
Our subscriptions are auto-renewable. To deactivate the automatic renewal you can cancel your subscription up to 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. The cancellation will be effective at the end of your current subscription cycle.
So... cancel immediately after signing up or anytime up to 2 days before subscription ends👍 you still have access after cancellation until year is up!
In case anyone is wondering about canceling the subscription immediately after signing up so that it doesn't auto-renew. I looked it up on their FAQ so you don't have to:

About Blinkist Auto-Renewals for Subscriptions

Does the subscription auto-renew?

Our subscriptions are auto-renewed after each billing period (yearly, monthly or quarterly, depending on the subscription you've chosen).

Please note, that if you cancel your subscription it will turn off the auto-renew and end with the current subscription cycle, not immediately.

-

Basically, it looks like you can cancel right away and still use it. To be extra safe, I'm gonna sign up with PayPal and cancel it from both PayPal's side and Blinkist. Seems like it'll be useful, but I wouldn't be able to stomach paying over $100 a year for this…

UPDATE:

I just did this and it worked. I canceled it right away from the PayPal auto payments side and still had access. I then canceled on Blinkist website and now it says my account is active with a subscription until Dec 4, 2025. It worked. Interestingly, when I attempted to cancel I got an immediate offer for 50% off next year's subscription. I declined the retention offer.

Also, apparently all subscribers get a free invite to bring a friend/family member and share the subscription. So this definitely sweetens the deal since I can share it with my spouse!

Will evaluate one year of service before making any claims that it is worth it!

I found the summaries to lack depth.
UUsually nothing that you couldn't also get from looking at the table of contents.
TThat's for non-fiction. And for fiction, isn't reading it yourself the whole point?

giving it a shot as I am too tired of overloaded youtube crap and spotify clickbait lately.
There are some good podcasts but still I want some book summaries to read certain parts deep, if I have to.

I'm currently subscribed to their annual plan. I think it's $79/year. How do I take advantage of this deal? Cancel that and resubscribe with this?

I had this for the past year.
Useless, but not for the reason you think. The product is interesting for sure and well done overall.
So what's wrong? AI.
Chatgpt to create a summary and use the completely free Reader by ElevenLabs app. Highly customized Blinkist with everything you want to know with nothing you don't.

Beware of their yearly renewal dates, was charged without any notice and yet to hear back from Blinksit support team to cancel.
Also dealing with this issue where it auto-renewed for $89.99 and waiting to hear back from the team about matching their BF or current offer as seen here on SD.

I got the deal for $25/year 2 years ago but canceled last month. For $10 I resigned up for it. Hopefully it stays that way or else I'll won't re-up next year

Google android app
You can use Google rewards credit to pay for it via the app.
Download app don't even need to create an account.

Answer the question go to the homepage there will be a banner at the top for Black Friday in the app listing $13 as already mentioned.

Update:
CB worked and posted $3.40

Also there is a CB site offering money back which gives you a higher price than their current website their pricing is all over.

Anybody know if after you add a shared user to the account can you free move them easily?

I was able to sub to pro for $13.
In mobile app, it first showed reduced but higher price, but then when I hit the back button to exit, it showed the secret deal.
Listening to the book Nexus now (about 21 mins long), and it exceeded my expectations so far (which was pretty low to be honest Smilie)

i like them, its good for listening before bed or while driving. i think this price is a steal. I've paid between $50-60 in the past. Now I always buy during BF but sometimes you can't use the same account. I sometimes use this to gauge whether I should buy the book or audible version. But sometimes the books are too short and it's not good. Overall I give it 4/5

You can't cancel auto renewal after signing up?
14 day money back guarantee seems misleading when their billing and support ignores email for 5 business days.

you are paying $10 to have it all setup for you. No pasting, thinking what you want.
Seems very worth it.

I installed the app and signed up for $13.

From what I can tell, the books that are available are basically the same (or similar) to the free and $1 Kindle books that are always promoted on Amazon.
