Probably the most important thing to compare is the actual size and quality of both services’ catalogs of movies and TV. After all, if you’re not interested in what’s offered, then it’s not worth paying for. The lists really go on on both sides, with tons of great content old and new. Prime Video also has a growing library of sports content. It’s small for now, but for sports fans, it’s something worth keeping an eye on in the future. So ignore the numbers. There’s quality on both sides here. While it’s largely a matter of personal taste, for me Netflix’s collection edges out that of Prime in terms of both quality movies and TV. Prime Video does have a huge and high-quality rental library going for it, but you don’t actually need to be a subscriber to access that. With Netflix, the payment model is pretty simple. There are three tiers of Netflix price plans, and they’re listed below. In terms of browsing libraries, neither service makes it terribly convenient to search by genre, which would be welcome. Netflix just about edges it by having a search bar where you can type in films, genres or actors you’re looking for, while Prime Video for the most part makes you scroll until you find the genre you’re looking for.
Who’s the Winner?
In terms of a quality collection of TV and video, for me Netflix steals the show, as it continues to produce award-winning TV shows and movies. Prime Video has its share of top-quality stuff, too, and a bigger library, but Netflix’s smaller selection feels more curated.
