Netflix vs Prime Video
Netflix vs Prime Video — which to pick, what each costs, and how to track either (or both) for free. Add each one in two clicks, pick the price and currency you actually pay, and SubRemind shows the combined cost in your base currency on the dashboard. Both services live in the Entertainment category, so they share the same colour band on the donut chart.

Prices vary by region and plan, so SubRemind doesn't hard-code them — you enter the actual amount you're billed when you add the subscription.
Pricing side-by-side
Netflix
Netflix bills monthly across three plans (Standard with Ads, Standard, Premium). Prices vary by country. Enter the plan price you actually pay; SubRemind handles the currency conversion.
Prime Video
Prime Video pricing varies by plan, region, and any active promo. SubRemind doesn't hard-code merchant prices — you enter the amount actually billed to your card so the dashboard total stays honest. Yearly plans should use the Yearly cycle so SubRemind divides the cost across 12 months in the projection chart.
Free trial: Netflix vs Prime Video
Netflix trial
Netflix no longer offers a free trial in most regions. If your country still has one, use the "Free trial" toggle.
Prime Video trial
If Prime Video is offering a free trial when you sign up, tick the "Free trial" checkbox in SubRemind and set the trial-end date. SubRemind keeps the trial cost out of this month's total, shows an amber countdown badge, and warns you before the trial converts to paid.
Which one to pick
- Pick Netflix if you value the entertainment catalogue, regional pricing, or ecosystem of Netflix over Prime Video's.
- Pick Prime Video if Prime Video's you already use other services in its ecosystem.
- Pick bothif you can justify the combined monthly cost — many people do. SubRemind's monthly total will tell you whether that's reasonable for your budget.

FAQ
Can I track Netflix and Prime Video at the same time in SubRemind?
Yes. There's no limit on subscriptions or overlap between categories. Add Netflix and Prime Video as two separate entries; both will appear in your monthly total, your projection chart, and the upcoming-30-days list.
What if Netflix bills me in a different currency than Prime Video?
That's fine. SubRemind converts each subscription into your chosen base currency using live exchange rates, so a Netflix sub in one currency and a Prime Video sub in another will both appear correctly in your aggregate stats.
Will SubRemind tell me whether to keep Netflix or Prime Video?
No — SubRemind shows you the cost picture but never recommends cancellations. After running both for a month or two, look at the category donut and the upcoming-30-days view to decide which one earns its monthly cost.
Are free trials for Netflix and Prime Video tracked separately?
Yes. Each subscription has its own trial state. You can have Netflix on a free trial while Prime Video is on a paid plan; only the paid one will count toward this month's total.
