However, after investing in original, high-quality content and obtaining exclusive rights to overseas series, Amazon Prime Videos reputation has grown. Now, with a catalogue of roughly 20,000 films and TV series available  significantly larger than Netflixs offering  Amazon Prime Video is a much stronger selling point to sign up for an annual Prime membership.

Some people are put off at the annual subscription price for Amazon Prime, but you don't have to sign up for a yearly membership if you're only after one or two series. Amazon offers two types of monthly subscriptions: One for Amazon Prime as a whole, and a monthly subscription to Amazon Prime Video that's priced similarly to Netflix. If you sign up for just Prime Video, you won't get access to the extras that you get with an annual membership  which we'll cover later on in the guide  and if you continue to subscribe to Prime on a monthly basis, you'll spend more money than if you signed up for an annual membership. The monthly price is a good way to trial the service, though, and see if you're interested in any more of their series or films. Amazon also offers 30-day free trials for Prime, too. Amazon Prime Day deals on Prime Video  Amazon Prime Day falls on 13th and 14th October 2020, and there are sure to be some great deals available for signing up to Amazon Prime Video.
