Are there any audiobook subscription services which aren't purchase-oriented but work more like Spotify or Apple Music? Just as I don't want to purchase individual albums or songs, I also don't want to purchase one single audiobook per month that I'm only likely to listen to a single time and then never again. I'd rather pay a monthly subscription (even if it's a bit more) and have the freedom to not worry about any purchase.

Scribd, sort of. Smaller selection, and they limit the number of books you can listen to (Charles proxy can get around this) and it's $8.99/m
Audible has actually been adding that recently. I’ve listened to a few of their "included" titles and enjoyed it.
Yeah, Audible seems to be the definitive audiobooks-by-subscription service, and I'm pretty sure they were that way for years: I think even the price was the same at least since 2016 (dunno about earlier).
