Amazon rolls out monthly subscriptions for Prime and Prime Video

Amazon is now offering monthly subscription plans for its Prime service, which is available for $10.99 a month. The retailer is also targeting Netflix by making Prime Video available as a standalone service for $8.99 a month.

A yearly subscription of Prime costs $99, which includes full access to Prime Video. Opting for the monthly route will set you back $131.88 over the course of a year, or 25% more than the annual subscription fee. If you are looking to avail the benefits on offer with Prime — such as free two-day shipping — and not be tied down to a yearly commitment, the new plans are worthy of consideration, especially as you can enable and disable the service as you see fit.
