Pay Amazon Prime Video monthly - how it works
Amazon has changed its Amazon Prime Video business model so you can pay for the streaming service monthly. We will show you the advantages and how to book the package.
Pay Amazon Prime Video monthly
- If you open the following Amazon website, you can try Prime Video for free. You can cancel the service before the 30 days have expired at no cost.
- If you do not cancel the subscription, you pay EUR 7.99 per month. Amazon Prime Video can be canceled at any time for the next payment period.
- If you already have a subscription to Amazon Prime, you can no longer switch from Prime to Prime Video. You can find out why this is not a sensible idea in the next paragraph.
Pay Amazon Prime Video monthly: does that make sense?
- Amazon Prime Video has been included in every Prime subscription and will continue to be. In addition to access to thousands of films and series, the Prime subscription also includes Spotify competitor Prime Music, Prime Photos cloud storage and faster and free Prime shipping.
- Now Amazon has adapted its concept to that of Netflix and Co. If you don't want to subscribe to Amazon Prime's annual subscription, you can book the Prime Video streaming service individually. At 7.99 euros per month, Prime Video is slightly cheaper than the competition and streams in HD at no extra charge.
- Access can be canceled monthly. The subscription is only really useful if you want to use it for less than eight months. If you use the subscription for eight months, you pay a total of 64 euros. If you order the Prime subscription directly for 69 euros, you can use Prime Video and all other Prime services for 12 months. You can also try Amazon Prime free for 30 days.
- The Prime Video subscription costs € 95.88 a year, Amazon Prime costs € 69. The single subscription is therefore only useful if you plan not to use it for longer than a few months. If you participate in the Amazon Student program, the annual subscription is even more worthwhile: Students only pay 34 euros per year for the full Prime subscription.
