![]() ![]() Amazon’s most recognizable Hollywood films tend to be older, and among the good, there are plenty of mediocre titles (or worse). But, even stripped of these titles, it’s hard to beat Netflix’s offerings if you value high-quality entertainment from virtually every genre.Īmazon Prime Video has a much larger total library of movies and TV shows, according to recent reports - more than 24,000 movies and 2,100 shows, in fact - dwarfing both Netflix and Hulu. If you’re purely looking at Netflix as an alternative to renting Blu-rays or going to the theater, this might not sound like a good development. In the coming months, it’s expected that all new Marvel, Disney, and Star Wars franchise installments will become Disney+ (and/or Hulu) exclusives, and it’s unknown how long Disney will let Netflix continue to license existing titles, like the massively popular Avengers and Star Wars movies. Unfortunately, with the launch of the Disney+ streaming service, Netflix is slowly being stripped of some of its most popular movies. In fact, over the years, Netflix has been steadily reducing its catalog of movies as it increases its TV show arsenal, and its originals are a big part of that growth. The only content creator that consistently beats Netflix in quality is HBO - fans of shows like Succession, Game of Thrones, and Veep know exactly what we mean. But over the years, it’s Netflix’s original productions, like The Queen’s Gambit, Bridgerton, The Witcher, Stranger Things, and The Umbrella Academy, that have been stealing the spotlight and increasing Netflix’s desirability. Netflix has thousands of licensed Hollywood movies, TV shows, documentaries, and specials. But now that Amazon and Google have buried the hatchet and Chromecast has been added to the list, it’s closer than ever. With support for all of the same devices as Amazon, as well as several others including Nintendo 3DS and Windows Phone, we’ll hand this one to Netflix. Netflix, as the progenitor of the streaming media space, has the most device compatibility of any service. Amazon Prime Video is compatible with a wide variety of devices and platforms, including web browsers on a PC or Mac, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon’s own Amazon Fire TV and Amazon Fire devices, iOS, Android, Xbox One and Series X, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and later, Nintendo Wii U, various models of connected Blu-ray players, smart TVs, and Google’s Chromecast. ![]() Having a streaming membership doesn’t make much sense if it isn’t compatible with the devices you own. Winner: Amazon Prime Video Device support Rich Shibley/Digital Trends All Prime Video memberships let you stream up to three titles at the same time, but you only can stream the same title on two devices at a time.Įven Netflix’s most affordable price plan is about the same as Amazon Prime Video, which means that on a purely financial basis, Amazon Prime Video wins this round. ![]() As with Netflix, this will vary by movie or TV show. The Amazon Prime annual membership lets you stream in the highest quality that your TV, streaming device, and an internet connection can support, including 4K Ultra HD with HDR, as well as Dolby Atmos. If you prefer, you can also get Amazon Prime for $13/month, or subscribe to only Amazon Prime Video for $9/month. A $119 annual Amazon Prime membership gives you ad-free access to the full Amazon Prime Video catalog, plus several shopping-related benefits that Amazon throws in for that price (and even Amazon’s music service). Amazon Prime Video is even more straightforward. ![]()
