Amazon is now showing 4-6 minutes of advertisements per hour on its Prime Video streaming service-- double the ad load from when the companynintroduced ads in January 2024, according to a report from ADWEEK.

Currently, anyone who signs up for Amazon Prime (which is $15 per month or $139 per year) gets Prime Video with ads. If they don’t want to see commercials, they have to pay an extra $3 per month. One can also subscribe to Prime Video alone for $9 per month with ads or $12 per month without ads.

Adweek first got wind of Amazon’s incoming uptick in ad spots from ad buyers, but Amazon confirmed via a spokesperson that Prime Video will increase its ad runs to “four to six minutes per hour.” That’s double what the company started with when it first added advertisements to its streaming experience back in January 2024.
