Yes. If you have an active Amazon Prime membership, you automatically get access to Prime Video, but not everything you see in the app is included for free.

Quick Scoop

Do you get Prime Video with Amazon Prime?

  • An Amazon Prime membership includes Prime Video at no extra charge, so you can stream thousands of movies and shows with ads by default.
  • There is also a separate “Prime Video-only” plan for people who do not want full Prime (shipping, music, etc.), but Prime members already have video included.

Why does some stuff still cost money?

Even though Prime Video is included, the app mixes together different types of content, which confuses a lot of people.

  • “Included with Prime” or “Prime” titles are part of your membership and you can watch them without extra payment (beyond ads unless you pay to remove them).
  • Other tiles are:
    • Rent/Buy : one‑off movie or episode purchases.
* **Subscribe / Free trial** : extra channels (like Starz, Showtime, etc.) that bill you monthly on top of Prime.

How to see only what’s included

Users often compare Prime to “paying admission to a mall” where some stores are still paid.

To focus on things that come with your Prime membership:

  1. Look for rows or filters like “Included with Prime,” “Prime,” or “Free to me.”
  1. On many devices there is a “My Subscriptions” or “Prime” icon or row that shows only included content.
  1. When you open a title, check the buttons:
    • No price / clearly labeled “Included with Prime” = included.
 * Shows a price, “Rent,” “Buy,” “Subscribe,” or “Start free trial” = will charge extra.

What’s new/changed lately?

  • Prime Video for Prime members is now ad‑supported by default; you can pay a small monthly add‑on to remove ads and get back some premium features like certain HDR options.
  • Standalone Prime Video (without full Prime) is still offered for people who only care about streaming.

TL;DR

If you have Amazon Prime, you do have Prime Video, but:

  • Not every title in the app is included.
  • Look for “Included with Prime” / “Free to me” filters to avoid surprise charges.
