Amazon Prime vs Prime Video: Which Gives Full Fest-Mode Value?
Let’s settle this: go full Amazon Prime with perks, or keep it lean with Prime Video only. Same shows, very different universe.
Why Amazon Prime Is More Than “Free Shipping”
$14.99/month typically covers fast shipping, the entire Prime Video catalog, basic Music, Prime Reading, Prime Gaming, and the big sales. If you order a few times a month, it pays for itself fast.
Just Here To Stream?
Prime Video Only at $8.99/month gets you the same originals and catalog. You’ll still need +$2.99 for ad-free. If packages, ebooks, and music don’t matter to you, this is the lean option.
