Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are streaming services with huge libraries that can keep you entertained weekend after weekend. Netflix has a slightly smaller library, but has much more original content and highly rated shows that aren’t available anywhere else. Prime Video has a much larger selection of movies and is available as part of an Amazon Prime subscription. There are also differences in platform availability and pricing structures.

Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are two of the strongest streaming services, but they offer very different experiences. Netflix’s overall library is smaller, but it focuses on more original content, more highly rated content, and more TV shows that aren’t available on other platforms. Amazon Prime Video has a much larger selection of movies, including award-winning original films that Amazon has produced.

The other major difference between these services is that Netflix is a standalone video streaming service, while Prime Video is part of the larger Amazon Prime membership package. While you can subscribe to Prime Video as a standalone service for a fee equivalent to Netflix's basic subscription, it is also included with Amazon Prime, which also includes free shipping on Amazon, access to a music streaming service, and many other benefits.

Amazon Prime Video has a larger overall library than Netflix, and it also has more movies. You can also buy and rent movies and TV shows through the same interface, which isn't an option on Netflix.
