Amazon Prime Video Channels are not free for life. However, you can get access to a free trial. Usually, this lasts for seven days, but there are a select few for 30 days. Now and then, there are also extra bonus free trials depending on promotions happening.
Once the free trial ends, you will need to pay for the channel if you want to keep it. Or you can make sure you cancel it in time so you’re not charged.
Don’t forget to cancel if you’re not keeping it. You can always cancel as soon as you sign up. You’ll still get to use the free trial for the week, and then you’ll get to watch whatever you want. There’s no need to worry about the last day of the week/month.
How much do Amazon Prime Video Channels cost?
The exact cost will depend on the channel. The individual companies set the prices, and the price is usually the same you would pay if you go directly to the premium cable channel or subscription service.
For example, HBO is $14.99 per month, just like the regular app. CBS All Access is $5.99 per month like the ad-supported subscription (you can also pay for no ads). STARZ is $8.99 per month, and Sundance Now is $6.99 per month.
You’ll see the exact amount when you sign up for the free trial.
You can also get some channels on a promotion deal. The individual companies offer these are various points throughout the year, including Black Friday or to promote a particular show. Look out for the offers to get a great deal for a few months at a time.
