Prime Video Price 2026: $8.99/mo

As of Jul 2026, Prime Video Standalone Monthly costs $8.99/month in the US — unchanged from $8.99 since 2021. A flat price is still part of the index: dropping services that have not raised prices would overstate the aggregate increase across tracked plans. The last logged event was Jan 29, 2024, sourced from About Amazon. If Prime Video announces a change, we log it as a dated event with a primary source — an official newsroom post or reputable reporting — and recompute every figure from that log. Prices are US list prices in USD, excluding tax; promotional and app-store rates can differ. Subscription Price Guide is an independent index and is not affiliated with Prime Video. Every statistic on this page — current price, total increase, hike count, highs and lows — is computed at build time from the stored event log, so the page, the structured data and the index cannot disagree.
