Best free music deal
Why we like it
Music with no ads? It doesn't get any better. Amazon typically offers new subscribers a free one-month trial of the ad-free Amazon Music Unlimited, but as a treat during October Prime Day, you can sign up for four months of free access. However, this deal is limited to Prime members only, so you'll want to be signed up and logged in to grab this deal.
Amazon Music Unlimited comes with total control of what music you stream and when, all with no ads. You'll get unlimited access to listening while offline or skipping songs. The subscription also includes access to ad-free podcasts.
Best free audiobook deal
Why we like it
Audiobooks can really save the day. Whether you're stuck sitting in traffic, out walking the dog, or recovering from a cold, tuning into an audiobook can be the perfect way to relax and tune into something other than your own life. During October Prime Day, Amazon is offering a free 30-day trial to Audible Premium Plus, which typically costs $14.95 per month. The trial means you'll have free access to the Audible Plus catalog of audiobooks and podcasts, some of which are exclusive to the service. The free trial of Premium Plus also comes with credit to purchase one title from the Audible premium selection.
Best free phone deal
Why we like it
OK OK, this isn't technically free, but you can get a new iPhone 16 for one single penny during Prime Day. That's basically a free phone. The only catch is that you have to sign up for a Boost Mobile plan, which is $65 per month.
