Final take: Is Prime Video or Netflix worth it?
There’s a lot to like about both Netflix and Prime Video, but pitting them against each other is like comparing apples to 15,000 oranges. They’re not exactly aimed at the same audiences.
Netflix has fewer movies and TV shows overall, but its aggressive push on quality original content is unmatched by any other streaming service—or standard TV network or film studio, for that matter. If you’re the kind of viewer who’s always on the hunt for something new, there’s never a slow week at Netflix.
Prime Video has a small, but promising, slate of original content, but it’s still overwhelmingly a place to find older favorites on a whim. With over 15,000 movies and TV shows, it makes the Netflix “search rabbit hole” look downright shallow.
