Disney+ VS Amazon Prime: What's Best For You?

in #technology5 years ago (edited)

Disney+ is now available in 8 more countries, making a total of 30 countries including Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, etc.

And people who can access it now face the hard part of choosing whether to get rid of their previous online streaming service subscriptions or add another one.

There are numerous streaming platforms out there all fighting for our time, money, and – of course – attention. But coming to Amazon, can it really hold a good battle against Disney+?

In this post, you will find a detailed comparison between Disney+ and Amazon Prime that will help you decide which one is right for you.

But before you make a choice, know that finding the correct streaming service will be subjective, and also depend on which shows you like.

Overview: Disney+ VS Amazon

Both the streaming platforms have to offer a wide range of content to their subscribers. Moreover, you can even watch content later with offline viewing option which is very helpful if you are travelling without any data.

Disney+ mostly has family-friendly content including Star Wars TV Shows, Marvel, and much more. And on the other hand, Amazon Prime has been nearly around for more than 10 years now and is already one of the top streaming services.

Price & Availability

Disney+ offers to its customers a monthly subscription for $6.99 and $69.99 a year. Furthermore, this subscription will allow you to watch content on 4 devices at the same time with a total of 10 mobile devices for just one account – and no limitations on how much you watch.

And unlike Netflix, there aren't 3 types of pricing plans in Disney+. On the other hand, an Amazon Prime subscription seems a little costly at $12.99 a month and $119 for a year. With this subscription, you will be able to stream watch content on two devices at once with different video formats.

However, the best part about having an Amazon Prime Video membership is that you will also have an Amazon Prime membership and this will give you access to Amazon Music streaming service and also same-day shipping, access to exclusive deals, and more.

Other Features & Interface

The user interface is as crucial as it gets because the way a user navigates in the app is a big part of the user experience.

The layout in Disney+ is pretty neat and simple, similar to those of Amazon Prime and Netflix.

Ultimately, the interface in both the apps is quite simple, but, there can be certain issues related to network or device such as "Error Code 83" in Disney+ but can be fixed easily by contacting support or looking up for fixes online.

Content in Amazon & Disney+

Disney+ has to offer plenty of Disney movies, both old & new, and cartoons and TV shows. But can it compete against Amazon Prime?

Well, Amazon on the other hand is also putting up a good fight. Amazon Prime has created some amazing TV shows over the years, such as Transparent, The Tick, The Boys, and Carnival Row.

Moreover, it’ll also be producing the next season of hit science-fiction show – The Expanse. And apart from these shows, it is also home to a lot of shows it did not create but has exclusive licenses to stream in many places.

But what's more interesting is that Amazon will stream some of its content on Amazon in regions where Disney hasn't been launched. This means that if you are living in a country where Disney+ is not available, then you will be able to watch some of the top new shows from Disney on Amazon Prime.

Bottom Line

In the end, choosing the right streaming service for you all relies upon what content you really like to watch.

Coming to Disney+ VS Amazon Prime, you should ask yourself whether there’s any TV Show or Series on Disney Plus that you can’t live without such as Star Wars or Marvel movies.

Or, there’s Amazon Prime content that’ll keep you entertaining like Mr Robot or The Expanse.

So, there really is no winner in this battle – only two great streaming services with different types of content on offer.

The choice depends on you.
