QUESTION
Is Amazon Prime Video good enough to cancel Netflix?
Short answer: sometimes, yes — but it depends on what you watch and whether you already pay for Amazon Prime.
If you already subscribe to Amazon Prime, Prime Video can be enough to replace Netflix for some households, especially if you mainly want a broad streaming library, a few originals, movies, and occasional live sports. But Prime Video is not always the best fit for everyone, and its catalog and features can feel less streamlined because it mixes included titles with rentals and purchases.
Netflix is often the better choice if you care most about a very polished app, strong recommendations, and the service’s frequently talked-about original series and bingeable shows. It can also be a better fit if you watch a lot of international content, reality TV, or want the easiest overall experience.
Cancel Netflix for Prime Video if:
- You already pay for Amazon Prime and want to consolidate services.
- You want to cut streaming costs.
- You’re happy with a mixed library of movies, series, and some sports.
Keep Netflix if:
- You watch specific Netflix originals or rely on its recommendation system.
- You want the simplest streaming interface.
- You use Netflix often enough that its catalog feels worth the price.
So: Prime Video can be good enough to replace Netflix for some people, but it’s not a universal substitute.
