We’ve all been there: staring at a log-in screen, wondering, What the heck is my login for this one?, inevitably giving up, and changing your password.
What if we told you that Prime Video is making that a thing of the past?
Meet subscriptions on Prime Video.
What are they? Great question; glad you asked!
Prime Video Add-On Subscriptions are streaming services that can be subscribed to inside of Prime Video. Essentially, instead of subscribing to Max or Paramount+ through their own websites, you can subscribe to both through Prime Video. Any services you add-on will be available to watch right inside the Prime Video app — no second apps or new logins necessary.
Now, instead of opening one streaming service to tune into the Season 3 premiere of “The Gilded Age” (coming to Max on June 22), another to finish up the first season of “Stick,” and another to tap into Season 5 of the “The Chosen,” all you have to do is open the Prime Video app.
That’s just one of the reasons why adding subscriptions to your Prime Video account is an appealing prospect for experienced streamers and newbies alike. Westeros, Vulcan, Middle-earth, and Hollywood (as depicted in “The Studio”) are all from different services, but here, they all exist within the same app.
Keep reading for everything you need to know about subscriptions on Prime Video, including ways to add them and save monthly.
How much do subscriptions on Prime Video cost?
The price of subscriptions on Prime Video varies by subscription, but rest assured, you’ll never pay more than a service costs outside of Prime Video to subscribe this way.
For example, Max still starts at $9.99/month and has a $16.99/month option as well, and Apple TV+’s one ad-free plan for $9.99/month is the one offered on Prime Video.
These subscriptions are charged to the default card on your Amazon account on a monthly basis.
Most, but not all, of the add-on subscriptions even come with a seven-day free trial; sometimes these trials are even exclusive to Prime Video, meaning you wouldn’t get the trial if you subscribed elsewhere.
What streaming services are available as subscriptions on Prime Video?
Prime Video currently offers over 100 add-on subscriptions, from major streamers to niche interest services.
Max, Apple TV+, Paramount+, and STARZ (which is currently $1.99/month for three months!) are some of the bigger services offered, but lovers of British TV should definitely consider signing up for Acorn TV and BritBox. Cinephiles who haven’t checked out Mubi or Shudder yet: now is the time!
Sports fans can get their fix with add-on subscriptions to WNBA League Pass, MLB.tv, MLB Network, NBA League Pass, and NBA TV.
