Amazon Prime Video has shifted to include ads for its basic subscription tier as of January 29, 2023. Subscribers who wish to watch content without interruptions can pay an additional fee. The basic Prime Video subscription costs $8.99 monthly, while avoiding ads incurs an extra $2.99. On the other hand, Amazon Prime members must also pay an extra fee, raising their bill to $17.98 monthly for an ad-free experience. This trend reflects a broader movement in the streaming industry toward ad-supported models.
If you prefer your viewings of 'Wheel of Time' or 'Reacher' without ads, however, you'll have to pay a little extra to get Prime Video ad-free.
The basic tier of Prime Video became ad-enabled as of January 29, 2023. Those who want to watch Prime Video without ads have the option to pay $2.99 extra each month to avoid them.
Amazon initially claimed that the ads would be few and far between. However, two years later, they will reportedly be rolling out a greater number of ads on Prime Video.
If you subscribe to Prime Video as part of your Amazon Prime membership, you still have to pay the additional fee to get ad-free streaming, meaning you'll pay $17.98 per month.
