Amazon Prime is Amazon’s all-encompassing subscription service. With the monolithic brand moving from originally just retail onto streaming, gaming, food shopping, and more over the years, it makes sense to have a monthly plan that allows regular customers to maximize their experience. But it’s also a real cash cow for Amazon, and it’s not cheap in the US — Americans are charged $14.99 per month for Prime membership. What you may not know is that this isn’t the standard price in every country. In fact, there’s a vast difference in the subscription cost as you cross borders. To give you a better idea, we’ve broken down how much an Amazon Prime subscription costs around the world.
To be clear, we’re looking at the price of the full Amazon Prime subscription here, as opposed to the cost of Prime Video. The latter is included with a Prime membership but can be bought separately in many regions if you only want the streaming service and not the other benefits. We’ve not touched on the cost of Prime Video in this article, but you can be sure that it’s roughly proportionate to the cost of the full Prime subscription.
We’ll give you a quick answer and then break down the numbers.
