Amazon is raising its monthly Prime prices by almost 20 percent
Amazon Prime—a.k.a. the only streaming service whose offerings include The Man In The High Castle, Transparent, and free shipping any time you buy a new pair of headphones or a bag of dog food from the internet—is about to get a little more pricey. For some users, at least: Recode reports today that the service is bouncing its monthly pricing up from $10.99 to $12.99, an increase of 18 percent that bumps Prime’s annual cost up to $156 a year for month-to-month users.
