If you’re looking to enjoy Amazon Prime Video shows and movies without any interruptions from ads, be prepared to pay a little extra. Starting early in 2024, Amazon will begin running ads in its Prime Video content, which has been ad-free for Prime subscribers. The new fee of $2.99 per month will allow customers to continue enjoying ad-free content, but their annual membership price will increase by 26%. For standalone Prime Video subscribers, adding the ad-free option will result in a 33% increase in their subscription price.
While customers have the option to keep their current Prime membership rate, they will have to watch ads on Prime Video shows like “The Wheel of Time” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” Amazon promises to have “meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers.” The company justifies the fee increase as a necessary step to continue investing in high-quality content over the long term.
The introduction of ads will initially be limited to Prime Video shows in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Canada, with plans to expand to other countries later in the year. Prime members will receive an email notification before ads are introduced, providing information on how to sign up for the ad-free option, if desired.
