Prime Video has less, mostly original, but also feeds on good purchases of historical cinema and great series who have been successful in the past. As proof, the recent arrival of the entire catalog of MGM James Bond movies. The 25 considered official (Never say never it is not) so far.
The price battle
In this section the winner is Prime Video because we will not have to pay anything every month, if we are Amazon Prime members, since with the 36 euros we will have access to the Jeff Bezos platform included. We can opt, yes, for a monthly alternative of 3.99 euros, but it is unlikely that with the other offer (free shipping) someone will request it.
Netflix, meanwhile, It has a price scale depending on the service that we want to receive: 7.99, 12.99 and 17.99 euros for the Basic, Standard and Premium plans, respectively. Each one with its own characteristics of number of screens (1, 2 or 4) and resolution (normal, HD and 4K) at which we can see things.
The battle of customization
Netflix has no option to configure the content we see through its official application. We just open it up and all we see is what it is, without the possibility of adding new channels, movies or series.
However, in the case of Prime Video, Amazon has conceived its service as a hub where we can buy or rent movies and add extra channel packages (StarzPlay, AMC+, FlixOlé, MGM, aContra+, AcornTV, All Flamenco, Stingray Clásica, Dizi, dJazz, ElGourmet, Hayu, Historia y actualidad, Hipster, Love Nature, Pash, Planet Horror, Stingray Karaoke and many more). Of course, each one has a subscription price that we can pay every month. The result is that what we have is what we want, and not necessarily all there is.
The Battle of the Video Games
The red N in recent months has boosted the presence of video games in the Netflix app for mobile devices, completely free as part of the subscription. Prime Video, however, does not have something like that, although it does have a leg focused on these issues such as Prime Gaming, closely linked to Twitch. Through them we can also get games without paying a euro.
Which one is the best?
If you want a cheaper alternative and attached to a discreet catalog of originals, without much movement but with constant releases and a wardrobe full of great classics in the history of cinema or television, Prime Video is surely what you are looking for because it usually has content that will appeal to anyone who considers himself a faithful viewer of the seventh art.
Nevertheless, if what you need is a lot of content every so oftenmostly original and with the possibility of sharing expenses with other friends (for now and until cut these practices), then what we recommend is to dive into Netflix. It is the one that revolutionizes its catalog the most every few months with news from countless genres.
