Amazon<\/strong> is reportedly planning to launch an ad-supported subscription plan for Prime Video<\/a><\/strong>, as reported by The Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/strong>. Several insider sources have confirmed to the publication that the company has just initiated negotiations with distributors to offer a future plan with advertising that is cheaper than the current one.<\/p>\n\n\n

To access Prime Video, Spanish users must have a Prime subscription, which costs 4.99 euros per month or 49.90 euros per year<\/strong>. Students who can verify their status can get a Prime subscription for 2.49 euros per month or 24.95 euros per year<\/strong>. The new plan could be appealing in markets like the United States, where a Prime subscription costs 14.99 euros per month (users can also subscribe separately to Prime Video for 8.99 euros per month).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Wall Street Journal, Amazon is reportedly considering the possibility of displaying more ads to Prime subscribers<\/strong> and offering the “option to pay more for an ad-free alternative and other features,” among other approaches. The article also mentions that, according to Amazon, the advertising breaks will be “brief”<\/strong>, although the maximum duration is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Video would be the next major streaming platform to introduce an ad-supported plan at a cheaper price. Disney+<\/a><\/strong> and Max <\/strong>(formerly HBO Max<\/strong><\/a>) already offer ad-supported plans at more affordable prices, although these subscription models are not available in all markets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Indeed, Netflix has also introduced an ad-supported subscription plan several months ago. Available in Spain for 5.49 euros per month<\/strong>, Netflix’s plan with ads has already amassed 5 million users worldwide<\/a>, marking a significant success for the platform. Additionally, since the beginning of the year, Netflix has begun to restrict password sharing in various markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
