When it is worth paying to remove the adverts
- You watch Prime Video several times a week.
- You follow long series, where the breaks add up.
- You watch with children and prefer to avoid advertising.
If you watch a film now and then, the adverts are barely noticeable and you do not need the add-on.
Examples
You watch two episodes every night
The add-on works out at a few cents per episode. It is usually worth it.
You use Prime mainly for delivery
Prime Video is an extra for you. Stay with the included version.
You only want to watch one specific series
Switch the add-on on for the month you watch it and cancel when you finish: there is no lock-in.
