About

Based in the UK, Xigxag Limited specializes in distributing audiobooks through a unique pay-per-title platform, offering customers the flexibility to purchase individual audiobooks without a subscription model. Xigxag Limited, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Cornwall, UK, focuses on revolutionizing audiobook access. The company has engaged in one deal, with its most recent deal occurring on November 10, 2025. The company's founder's history is not disclosed.


Xigxag specializes in the distribution of audiobooks, offering a unique platform that enables users to purchase audiobooks on a pay-per-title basis rather than through a subscription model. This innovative service allows customers to buy individual audiobooks whenever they choose, thereby eliminating the complexities often associated with monthly subscription services. The platform features a diverse catalog that includes bestsellers, classics, and newly released titles, catering to a wide audience that includes casual listeners, avid readers, and eco-conscious consumers. Xigxag serves a broad geographical market, with its services available to customers in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, and several European nations.


The company's commitment to accessibility and sustainability is underscored by its B Corp certification, which reflects its adherence to social and environmental standards. The revenue model of Xigxag is primarily driven by individual audiobook purchases, with pricing structured on a tiered system that rewards customers based on their purchasing frequency. The more audiobooks a customer buys, the lower the price per title, which ranges from GBP 3. 99 to GBP 7.


99 depending on the volume of purchases made. This pricing strategy incentivizes repeat purchases while appealing to customers who prefer the flexibility of paying only for what they want to listen to, without the obligation of a subscription. The platform also facilitates potential gifting options, allowing users to share specific titles with others directly from the app. This model positions Xigxag to capture a diverse clientele, including both individual consumers and occasional gift-givers, enhancing its revenue potential through direct-to-consumer sales.


In November 2025, Xigxag Limited raised an undisclosed amount of angel funding from new investors Lifted Ventures and Alma Angels, with participation from individual investors. The company will use the funding to further develop its technology and scale globally to make books more accessible, engaging, and sustainable. Specific plans include launching new products designed to enhance user interaction and expanding into new markets, including regions in Europe and North America, by the end of 2026.
