Amazon Prime Video is seemingly a free perk when you sign up for Prime, the retailer's take on a loyalty club. Free delivery for your Amazon packages is great, but it's always better when it comes with access to a whole heap of streaming content at no extra cost. Show
In this guide: What is Amazon Prime Video Australia?Amazon Prime Video, or Prime Video, is the online shopping behemoth's alternative to Netflix. For a monthly fee, an Amazon Prime Video membership will allow you to stream thousands of movies and TV shows, including some impressive Prime Video Originals. There's plenty to say about Amazon Prime Video in Australia but here are the key things you really need to know: it's cheap and the movie and TV library is not half bad. It may not be as rich in quality content as Netflix or Stan, but at $6.99 per month or $59 per year as part of your Amazon Prime membership, Prime Video could act as a nice supplement to either one or both, extending your movie and TV streaming access. Prime Video is actually just one piece of Amazon Prime – a massive Amazon membership service that, for a monthly fee, gets you to access Twitch prime, ebooks, and free shipping on Amazon purchases. It's a pretty sweet deal. How much does Amazon Prime Video cost in Australia?Amazon Prime Video is part of Amazon Prime. An Amazon Prime membership will set you back: $6.99 per month or $59 per year, if paid upfront. Customers of Amazon Prime can take up a 30-day free trial. If you take up a month-to-month membership, it's on a no-contract basis – cancel at any time. However, if you pay upfront for the year, you won't be able to leave early.

This makes Amazon Prime Video the clear winner on price, particularly when you consider that with your Prime Video membership, you can stream on up to three devices simultaneously and stream 4K content. Both Netflix and Stan charge up to $8 extra per month to access these features. Here's how a monthly Prime Video membership compares to other major streaming services on the Australian market.

Like Netflix Originals, these are TV shows that have been developed in-house or in association with Amazon Studios. And there's some pretty good stuff in the Prime Original line-up. Shows like The Grand Tour (Top Gear reboot) and Fleabag have been a scoop for Prime Video while other originals like Good Omens, American Gods, Goliath and The Man in the High Castle have got critics and fans talking. Most Prime Originals are also available to stream in 4K resolution, which is a nice bonus if you have the right screen. Prime Video Australia also features a healthy dose of movie hits from the nineties and naughties which is great for nostalgic people but less awesome for those looking for more recent releases. Basically, there's a lot of good stuff on Prime Video Australia. But there's also a lot of stuffing. The movie and TV library, which is surprisingly vast boasts a high quantity of strange, straight-to-DVD cinematic non-masterpieces. These are gems like Satan's Cheerleaders, for example. Or the dubious Fart: A Documentary. But maybe you like that sort of thing. Or maybe you'll find enough good Prime Originals to make up for it. Unlike Netflix or Stan, Prime Video has offered a little bit of live sport in the past. NFL's Thursday Night Football was streamed live through Prime Video Australia in 2020 and commentators expect Prime Video Australia's sports content to expand over time. It's also worth noting that now Prime Video has a lot more rental options. So when you log on to your Prime keep an eye out for the 'Available with Prime' symbol, if it's not there then you may have to pay extra to rent or buy the content. Looking for recommendations?

You can also get the Prime Video app on LG and Samsung smart TVs as well as Play Station and Xbox. If you want to use a streaming device, the good news is you've got plenty of options now that Prime Video has come to Telstra TV and Google Chromecast. You can also get Prime Video through Apple TV and Telstra TV. One other streaming device you can use to get Prime Video on your TV is the Amazon TV Fire Stick. This is a streaming device much like the Apple TV or Telstra TV. You connect it up to your TV via an HDMI port and get access to apps like Prime Video (of course), Netflix, Spotify, Plex, VLC and plenty of others. Unlike Apple TV, Telstra TV and even Google Chromecast, the Amazon TV Fire Stick doesn't support as broad a range of local streaming services. You'll get Stan and 7plus, but not much more. Of course, you can still get Prime Video onto your TV using the good old-fashioned method of laptop and HDMI cable. Or hope that more streaming devices start supporting the app soon.
