Extras, renewals & account changes

The listed prices are recurring rates, not introductory discounts. Check the rate and billing date shown in your account; cancel future renewal through the company that bills you.

Prime Video charges and terms to check
Optional Prime Video UltraUltra adds $4.99/month to a Prime or Prime Video subscription. Annual Prime members can choose $45.99/year for Ultra. Live events and some content may still carry ads. Provider source ↗
What the base fee does not buyRentals, purchases, pay-per-view and additional channel subscriptions are separate from the included catalog. A title appearing in the app does not mean it is covered by the base subscription. Provider source ↗
Renewal and trialsSubscriptions and trials continue at the applicable recurring rate unless canceled. Manage a direct subscription in your account; third-party billing follows that provider’s terms. Provider source ↗

How to choose your plan

If you already have Prime for its other benefits, the included video access may meet your needs without a second base subscription. When comparing video alone, use the video-only price, then add any upgrade or channel you actually want.

Write down the subscriptions you already have, the content you want and how many months you expect to watch or listen. Compare the same period and the same features. Our streaming budget calculator adds monthly plans across services.
