These two giants are the main video streamers on the market. Today, almost nobody watches programmed television anymore. Everyone likes to be able to choose their movies and shows, according topreferences and mood, while programmed television makes you watch what they want. Not to mention that Amazon Prime Video for instance, offers the possibility of downloading what you’d like to watch on a later basis and watch it on any device you have at hand, with the condition to have internet access.

When it comes to picking the right one, you must know that there are pros and cons to this decision as it is with every other decision in life. These two giant video streamers are always in competition and while one streams various shows, the other one will stream different ones. Some films and shows can’t be found on both.

But let’s see what are the pros and cons for Amazon Prime vs. Netflix, so you can make an informed decision when it’s the time.

 

Amazon Prime Video:

  • 2 free trials to make sure it’s what you need and get accustomed to their platform and searching buttons.

  • Their usual price is £5.99/month.

  • You also have the option of paying for £79/year and benefit from free next day delivery, video streaming anytime and full access to Amazon Prime Music, among others.

  • You can stream to two devices at once.

  • Unlimited movies and TV shows streaming.

  • Subscription-based service for which you pay monthly.

  • It has a library which is constantly updated.

  • You can watch your programs on any device as long as you have internet on it.

  • Every streaming includes 4K content with no additional cost.

  • Their service is not compatible with all the devices.

  • They have around 4K films and TV shows.

 

Now let’s see what the other giant has to offer. The call can be pretty close.

 

Netflix:

  • Their service is compatible with most devices, including smart TVs, Windows phones, iOS and Android.

  • Kids’ section.

  • You can set up multiple accounts to keep your recommendations and watch those lists separately.

  • Subscription-based service for which you pay monthly.

  • It has a library which is constantly updated.

  • You can watch your programs on any device as long as you have internet on it.

  • They have around 4K films and TV shows.

  • Only one free trial.

  • Basic subscription price is £7.49/month.

  • The basic subscription doesn’t include 4K content.

  • You can’t download offline content to watch at a later basis.

 

As you can see, Amazon Prime vs. Netflix, they both offer pretty much the same thing. The best thing to do here is to try the free trials on both and then decide which one is best for you. You might find one easier to use than the other. Or you may find that one streamer has more shows and movies on your taste. All these things can be deal breakers at any moment, so it’s better to have tried them both before making a decision.
