What they gave is over: you’ll have to watch ads on Prime Video unless you pay more

It was only a matter of time as he announced it in the US: Prime Video in Spain will start showing ads from April 9 for accounts under your Prime plan. The company has already started notifying all users via email that unless they upgrade to a new higher plan, they will have to watch ads for TV shows and movies on the platform.

The only alternative would be to pay more on top of the Amazon Prime subscription price to avoid seeing ads on the platform. And how much more? So the company announced higher subscription level for an additional fee of 1.99 euros per monththe only advantage of which is that you will not see advertising on the platform.

Nothing else changes: if you don’t pay, the entire catalog will be available to you in the same quality and under the same conditions, the only difference is advertising. There won’t be any changes to the standard Amazon Prime subscription price for now either, so it’s not really an add-on plan, but rather an additional cost for not watching ads.

If you don’t pay, you’ll see ads, but nothing else will change on Amazon Prime Video.

The good news is that if you don’t want to pay, you can still use your Amazon Prime subscription to watch all Prime Video content. including the options you’ve had so far: Available content up to 4K, download via app, and the ability to create profiles (and share them, at least for now). Oh, you can also try this completely free:
