Prime Video: advertising arrives on April 9 in France

Advertising will arrive on April 9 on programs broadcast in France by Amazon's streaming platform, Prime Video, and you will have to pay 1.99 euros more per month to avoid it, she announced to her subscribers on Wednesday. in France. From this date, subscribers will pay 6.99 euros per month, as currently, but with additional advertising, or 8.98 euros per month if they do not want to have advertising on Prime Video.

Amazon is not the first streaming platform to introduce this type of subscription. Since November 2022, the leader Netflix has been offering an offer with advertising. It costs 5.99 euros per month, compared to 13.49 for the cheapest ad-free offer. For its part, Disney switched its subscribers to a new offer in November, Premium, at 11.99 euros per month, or 3 more than the old one. To return to 8.99 euros, you must subscribe to a new offer called Standard (where the sound and image quality are lower and the number of screens authorized simultaneously is limited to 2, compared to 4 in Premium).

This was accompanied by the launch of a formula with advertising, at 5.99 euros monthly. The goal is both to keep or even gain subscribers and to position itself in the advertising market for video-on-demand content, which is expected to increase in the years to come.
