Guide for Disabling Ads on Amazon Prime Video Account
If you're tired of ads interrupting your Prime Video streaming experience, here's how to upgrade to an ad-free version of the service.
Upgrading to Ad-Free Amazon Prime Video
To enjoy an ad-free Amazon Prime Video experience, you need to subscribe to the ad-free tier, which costs an additional $3 per month on top of your existing Amazon Prime membership (costing $14.99 per month or $139 per year). This means paying about $18 per month in total for the complete Amazon Prime service without ads on Prime Video.
If you don't already have an Amazon account, you can sign up directly through the provided links. For existing users, simply follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Amazon Account & Settings page.
- Select 'Go Ad Free' to upgrade to the ad-free tier.
Alternative Ad-Blocking Methods
For those who prefer a more cost-effective approach, using a browser extension like Surfshark’s CleanWeb 2.0 ad blocker can block ads on Prime Video when watching on a browser. However, this method is mostly for web browsers and may not work reliably on native apps or TV devices.
Key Points About Removing Ads
- The ad-free upgrade is a paid option on top of your standard subscription; ads will still appear on the default tier.
- Some content marked as "Watch For Free" or "Only available with ads," live events, and certain ad-supported content may still show ads even on the ad-free tier.
- Prime Video Mobile Edition or Prime Lite members must upgrade to full Amazon Prime to sign up for the ad-free option.
Summary
To get rid of ads on all Prime Video content legally and officially, pay the extra $3/month ad-free upgrade on top of your Prime or standalone Prime Video subscription. Some ads on specific ad-supported content may persist even then. For ad blocking on browsers, you can use third-party solutions like Surfshark’s ad blocker extension.
