Prime Video is a popular streaming service, thanks to its inclusion in Prime. So we're grading it to see if it provides enough value for that bargain price.

Prime Video Report Card 2026: The price is right, but what about the shows and movies?

Prime Video offers a budget-friendly streaming service at $8.99 per month for the ad-supported tier. However, its vast library of over 20,000 movies and TV episodes doesn't necessarily translate to high quality. While Prime Video boasts exclusive titles like The Boys and Project Hail Mary, it still struggles to compete with industry giants like Netflix and HBO Max in terms of quality.

Despite occasional hits like Fallout and Reacher, Prime Video's overall library receives a C+ grade. The interface also receives mixed reviews, with a B grade. It may not be perfect, but it's certainly functional.
