Come on a real tour of Prime Video and discover everything about the platform!

There is no doubt that we are living in the age of streaming. The proof of this is the ever-increasing popularity of these platforms.

And with so many options – and more and more of them emerging – it can be difficult to decide which one to choose when watching a movie to relax after a tiring day.

Is it worth watching a movie on Netflix? Or maybe a series on Globo Play? Maybe even an HBO Max animation?

Despite being great streaming platforms, the topic of today's content – as you may have noticed in the title of the text – is another great streaming powerhouse.

We're talking about Prime Video!

In this material, we will explore a little more about this, which is one of the most famous platforms in Brazil!

Here you will understand how the platform works, how much it costs and some unmissable content for you to watch on Prime Video.

Learn a little more about Prime Video

Before we talk a little more about other aspects of Prime Video, how about we learn a little about the history of the platform? 

Contrary to what you might imagine, the origin of Prime Video is older than you might think.

The service debuted – in a different way than we know it today – in September 2006, under the name Amazon Unbox.

Over the years, the service changed names several times – at one point being called Amazon Video on Demand and Amazon Instant Video – before adopting the name we know today.

And it was in December 2016 that the platform arrived in Brazil. And at that time, the monthly fee cost R$7.90 for the first 6 months.

Despite starting with a restricted catalog, the service has grown more and more and, currently, it can easily be considered one of the main rivals of the giant Netflix.

How does Prime Video work?

If you are not yet a subscriber, you may want to learn more about how the platform works.

Just like other platforms on the market, when you subscribe to Prime Video, you guarantee exclusive access to a catalog full of films, series, animations and documentaries.

Over the months, more content is added to the platform's catalog, keeping the platform always up to date.

And one thing that sets Prime Video apart from other platforms is Primeiro Video Channels, the service that allows you to subscribe to channels within the platform, such as Paramount+, Premiere, Starzplay and Looke.

How much does Prime Video cost?

A very important point when choosing which streaming platform to subscribe to is the monthly fee.

Because, in case you haven't noticed, subscription prices for most platforms have increased significantly in recent times.

Therefore, it is essential to know how to choose wisely which one you should invest your hard-earned money in.

And when it comes to overall cost-benefit, Prime Video is one of the platforms that stands out the most among all that we know.

If you want to subscribe to the platform monthly, you will have to pay R$14.90 per month.

But if you want to save even more, there is still the possibility of opting for an annual plan.

In it, the monthly fee for the streaming service goes to R$9.92/month (R$119.90 per year).

Considering that, in addition to having access to the platform's content, you also have free shipping on purchases from Amazon, Prime Video is a great option for those looking for entertainment!

What to watch on Prime Video?

Now that you're familiar with Prime Video, it's time to explore the platform's catalog a little more!

At Home with the Gils

And to close our list, we have a series in documentary format.

In Em Casa com os Gil, we follow the daily life of one of the most important families in the history of Brazilian music.
