Amazon Prime Video viewers will have to pay an extra $2.99 monthly in January to avoid ads [View all]
Amazon Prime Video viewers seeking to avoid ads during shows and movies will have to pay an extra $2.99 per month starting in late January.
The ad-free tier will officially roll out Jan. 29 and come on top of the $139 annual cost of an Amazon Prime subscription, or the $8.99-a-month standalone Amazon Prime Video subscription.
That means users who choose not to pay the extra fee to go ad-free will start seeing commercials on Prime Video content starting on the same date.
Amazon previously announced its intention to show ads on Prime Video in September, though it said it hoped to show "meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers."
