It makes sense if you compare to other contemporary subscription services.
Spotify is ~$120 per year
Netflix is ~$110-$130 per year
Amazon Prime comes with a plethora of auxillary benefits like Amazon Video and Music, Prime day deals, magazine subscriptions, and many more that I'm probably leaving out. Considering all this, $119 per year doesn't seem like all that much. It's still less than ten bucks a month.
- ams6110 8y agoIt's 10 bucks a month. Ok. Netflix is $10/month. Google Play/YouTube Red is $10/month. Spotify is whatever, probably about that. Now you're at $40/month. At some point your start making choices.
- electricEmu 8y agoAmazon Prime Music removed a substantial amount of their included library. Amazon Music Unlimited adds them back in for $8/mo, or $96/year on top of your Prime subscription. What is Prime offering again? Prime Music is a poor, unlimited trial. It was a great benefit.
- tfehring 8y agoPrime Music is worthless because it's not comprehensive enough to replace a better service like Spotify. Same goes for Prime Video - I haven't seen anything worthwhile that isn't available on Netflix, unless you include titles that you have to pay for separately anyway. And I've never found anything worth buying on Prime Day - it seems like a marketing gimmick crossed with an opportunity for Amazon to clear out the junk at the back of their warehouses. I like the convenience of Prime shipping, so I've tried to justify keeping it, but I just can't. It might be worth it if PrimeNow had a better selection in my area, or if Fresh were (1) available in my area and (2) not ludicrously expensive. As it stands, I don't get my money's worth from Prime shipping, and none of the other benefits seem to be worth using.
