What is the cost of Amazon Prime subscription

Since April 4, 2018 all new Amazon Prime annual subscriptions cost 36 euros per year. A price that has been extended to all annual renewals for those who were already subscribed to Prime. Previously, as many remember, the annual cost of Amazon Prime stood at 19.90 euros, so, almost half.

Some have, undoubtedly, wondered whether to continue to benefit from the service or take a break, but, needless to turn around, it was almost impossible to give up the benefits of Prime for millions of users. This is because the benefits of Prime have increased and improved over time and, after all, since the service arrived in Italy, this is only the second change in the price of the Prime program.

In any case, the Amazon Prime subscription still holds a very low cost and convenient when compared, for example, to other platforms that, among their services, provide "only" audio and video content. So, we just have to make an overview of the Prime package and all the benefits it includes.

How much does Amazon Prime cost per year and per month

With regard to the cost of Amazon Prime, there are distinctions between the types of subscription to be made. You can, in fact, choose the monthly solution at a cost of 3.99 euros, or the annual solution of 36 euros per year that presents a saving if you plan to remain subscribed for the whole year.

The monthly option has been provided for those who decide to use Prime only for a few months, perhaps close to Black Friday, Prime Day or the holiday season, when online shopping is a convenient and economical solution to make informed purchases and quality. But for those who are fond of the Amazon universe, it is undoubtedly more convenient to proceed with the annual subscription.
