Amazon Prime Video: Plans, Devices and Costs

Amazon Prime Video is a streaming service included with the Prime membership. The listed membership costs 8.99 EUR per month and includes films and series with advertising.

It may suit viewers who also want the other membership benefits. For streaming alone, compare the ongoing cost with your budget and how often you expect to use the service. An IPTV player is a different kind of software and does not play Prime Video content.

What Amazon Prime Video includes

Amazon Prime Video is part of the Prime membership. The listed video offer includes films and series with advertising, as well as Amazon Originals. The membership also includes shipping benefits, Prime Music and Amazon Photos.

That broader bundle may be relevant if you would use those other services too. If your decision is only about video streaming, weigh the recurring membership price against your expected use. The available information does not specify an advertising-free option, so this guide does not compare one.

For an overview of other streaming services, see our streaming guide.

Plan and recurring cost

The listed plan is Prime-Mitgliedschaft. It costs 8.99 EUR per month. New members can get 30 days free for new members.

Prime-Mitgliedschaft includes films and series with advertising. Its downloads are available in the Prime Video app on iPad, Fire tablet or Android device. The membership also includes shipping benefits, Prime Music and Amazon Photos, which may influence whether the bundle is worthwhile for your household.

• Prime-Mitgliedschaft: 30 days free, then 8.99 EUR per month; membership also includes delivery benefits, Prime Music and Amazon Photos.

The monthly price multiplied across a year is a useful way to budget, but this guide does not state a separate annual price. If you sign up for a trial, consider whether you want to continue before it ends. Membership terms can be changed or cancelled at any time.

Devices and downloads

The listed devices include Amazon Fire TV, Tablet, Smartphone and Games console. Check that the device you intend to use can access the Prime Video app before choosing the service.

Downloads are available in the Prime Video app on iPad, Fire tablet or Android device. This can help when you want to watch without relying on a continuous internet connection, subject to the app and service conditions.

For viewing on a television, a listed Fire TV or a supported game console may be relevant. The service information here does not specify simultaneous streams, profiles or playback quality, so those points are not compared.

Bandwidth and connection

A stable internet connection helps streaming play without interruptions.

Measure your connection with the speed test and estimate household demand with the bandwidth calculator. If several people use the connection at once, consider their combined activity when assessing whether your connection is sufficient.

Prime Video and IPTV players are different

A streaming service and an IPTV player are different products. Prime Video is a streaming service with its own app and membership. An IPTV player does not play Netflix or other streaming-service content; it plays a user's own playlists or Xtream access.

Choose a streaming service if you want its own app and membership. Consider an IPTV player only if you already have a playlist or Xtream access that you are entitled to use. Read our guide to legal IPTV, the IPTV comparison and the player comparison for those separate questions.

For a cost-focused comparison of IPTV services, see our IPTV costs guide. It covers a different category from Prime Video membership.

Who may find the membership useful

The membership may fit people who want Prime Video and expect to use other included membership benefits, such as shipping benefits, Prime Music or Amazon Photos. The listed video offer includes advertising, which is a consideration for viewers deciding whether the service suits their preferences.

If you want video streaming only, compare the recurring monthly commitment with your expected viewing habits. If you are primarily looking for a way to play your own IPTV playlist or Xtream access, a streaming subscription does not provide that player function.

Managing or ending membership

The membership can be changed or cancelled at any time. General account and subscription management is handled through the service's account page; exact menu names are not needed to review or end a subscription.

For a trial, note when it ends and decide whether to continue before it expires. If you no longer want the membership, use the account's subscription management options to cancel. Check the confirmation shown by the service so you know the request has been completed.
