So you are saying that if you sign up for the $9.95 plan that they will only allow you to listen to part of their audiobook library? That doesn't sound likely to me, and if it were the case then I'd assume that they'd still offer both options at the same time, not one one place and another another. Both say '+' meaning that number and more. I do agree that the 100,000 plus number probably means it was a more recently made advert.
But I would never just sign up for $14.95 over $9.95 just because I think that's what they prefer me sign up for, if they are still openly offering the $9.95 and other people are still signing up for it. Again, the only way to get the $14.95 price currently, as far as I can find, is through clicking on an ad on other sites. If you just go directly to their site (playster.com) anywhere you go you will only find the $9.95 price (again, as far as I've found).
Obviously, the company has probably made a big error somewhere. Either (a) the ad pricing is wrong, (b) except for the ad the entire site's pricing is wrong concerning audiobooks, or else (c) they are purposely testing out the higher price of $14.95 through a specific targeted ad to see how well it sells before deciding whether to change the entire site to that price for audiobooks.
If it is (a) or (b) then it's a huge, glaring mistake that is extraordinary that it happened at all let alone seems to be blithely continuing, which makes me question the ability of this company. If it is (c) then it's an underhanded move by the company to target new members to pay more than they need to and makes me question the integrity of this company.
