Quick Scoop

Amazon does not appear to have an official product called “Amazon Prime Premium subscription.” What people usually mean is either Amazon Prime membership itself or the ad-free Prime Video add-on/tier. Amazon Prime is a paid membership that bundles shopping and entertainment benefits, while Prime Video’s ad-free option is a separate streaming upgrade that, as of March 2026, costs $4.99/month in the U.S. on top of a Prime membership.

What Amazon Prime includes

Amazon Prime is a paid subscription service that offers benefits across shopping, streaming, and other services. Publicly listed perks include fast delivery, Prime Video, music, ebooks, gaming, and other member-only services.

What people may mean by “premium”

If you’re asking about the streaming side, the “premium” version is usually the ad-free Prime Video option, now being rebranded as Prime Video Ultra with extra features like 4K/UHD, Dolby Atmos, more downloads, and more simultaneous streams.

In plain English

  • Amazon Prime = the main membership.
  • Prime Video = the streaming service included with Prime.
  • Prime Video Ultra / ad-free tier = the extra paid upgrade for people who want no ads and better streaming features.
