In 2025, Prime Video's seriously got it all. From bingeable original series (hello, Fallout Season 2) to movies fresh out of the theater to old school films from your childhood, there's almost too much content to watch on Prime Video. Just kidding there's never too much content!

Prime Video costs $8.99/month solo or $14.99/month (or $139/year) when subscribing to Amazon Prime, but for an additional monthly fee, Prime Video offers something else: add-ons. And, while the best Prime Video add-ons really range from person to person, there are some that will really help expand your range of content.

But, what exactly are Prime Video add-ons?

Think of Prime Video add-ons like little content upgrades you can tack onto your Prime Video subscription. They're premium channels — like HBO Max, Paramount+ Premium, STARZ, and more — that you can subscribe to directly through Prime Video for an extra monthly fee. Instead of juggling a million apps and logins, everything lives in one place. It's streamlined, it's convenient, and yes, it's dangerously easy to keep adding more and more to your watchlist.

Some are great for prestige TV and blockbuster movies, others are goldmines for niche genres like horror or British dramas. Whether you're a die-hard sports fan, a docuseries addict, or just trying to get access to that one show everyone's talking about, there's probably an add-on that'll scratch the itch.

Below, we're breaking down the best Prime Video add-ons that are actually worth your money in 2025, so you can spend less time scrolling and more time watching. For a full list of the 100+ add-ons available, click here.

HBO Max

$10.99/month

Sure, you can opt to get HBO Max outside of Prime Video, but what's the need for that when you can just add it into your Prime Video catalogue. More movies and TV shows in the same space — no need to switch apps. Starting at $10.99/month, the HBO Max add-on brings a ton of value.

With Max, you're getting access to HBO originals like The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, Succession, and I Love LA, plus an ever-rotating library of blockbuster films, cult classics, and buzzy new releases. We're talking everything from A24 indies to DC superhero flicks to full runs of iconic series like The Sopranos and Sex and the City. And since it's built right into Prime Video, everything queues up seamlessly next to your usual favorites.

In short: HBO Max on Prime Video is a no-brainer for anyone who wants big-name content without app-hopping fatigue.

NBA TV

Starting at $8.99/month

It's basketball season, folks, which means it's officially time to lock in and follow your favorite teams with NBA TV on Prime Video. Whether you're backing the Boston Celtics, cheering for the Los Angeles Lakers, or keeping tabs on every clutch moment across the league, the NBA TV add-on lets you stream live games, studio shows, and exclusive league coverage, all without leaving the Prime Video app. The channel starts at just $8.99/month, making it an easy way to stay plugged into the action night after night. Not sure you're ready to commit? You can test it out with a seven-day free trial before diving into a full season of buzzer-beaters, highlights, and rivalry-fueling drama.

Paramount+ Premium

Starting at $13.99/month

Alright, here's another one you can download on your own, but it's so much easier to bundle it through Prime Video: Paramount+ Premium. Paramount+ Premium add-on gives you more — like live sporting events, special live programming, and access to premium originals. That means you're not only getting binge-worthy hits like Yellowjackets, you're also covered for big games and exclusive events, all without hopping between apps. It's one of those set-it-and-forget-it upgrades that makes your streaming setup way smoother.

Just note: Paramount+ Premium will increase to $13.99/month starting Jan. 15, and the free trial is going away. The price of Paramount+ Essential will also go up to $8.99/month on Jan. 15.

Crunchyroll

Starting at $7.99/month

Yep, another one you can get outside of Prime Video — we don't want to talk about it. It's just easier on Prime Video, okay? Crunchyroll's add-on is a dream for anime lovers, especially since episodes drop shortly after they premiere in Japan. Whether you're catching up on One Piece or diving into the latest seasonal hits, Crunchyroll delivers that sweet, subtitled (or dubbed) goodness straight to your Prime Video lineup.

You've got two options after a seven-day free trial: the Fan plan at $7.99/month, which gives you full access to Crunchyroll's massive anime library, or the Mega Fan plan at $11.99/month, which adds perks like offline downloads, discounts in the Crunchyroll Store, and access to the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Whichever way you go, it's a solid pick for anyone whose "watch next" list is 90% animated.

Apple TV

$12.99/month

Here's one that might surprise you: Apple TV is available as an add-on through Prime Video at its new price of $12.99/month, and yes, it comes with a seven-day free trial. And, yeah, you can watch it through Apple's app, but it's way more convenient to keep everything in one place.

Apple TV is all about quality over quantity, and its original content is top-tier. We're talking mind-bending dramas like Severance andPluribus, crime dramedies like Your Friends & Neighbors, and a steady stream of new releases that keep the catalog fresh. If you're into well-crafted, buzzworthy storytelling, this add-on might be the low-key gem your Prime lineup's been missing.

BET+

Starting at $5.99/month

If you're looking for something that really highlights Black voices and storytelling, BET+ through Prime Video is yet another solid pick. You've got two options after the seven-day free trial: the Essential plan is $5.99/month with limited ads and streaming on two devices at once. Or you can go Premium for $10.99/month and get no ads, four streams, and downloads so you can watch on the go.

Either way, you're getting 4,000+ movies and episodes, new originals every week, and a lineup packed with content from top Black creators. Whether you're into feel-good comedies, drama that hooks you in from episode one, or classic throwbacks, BET+ brings it all together.

AMC+

Starting at $6.99/month

Here's one last one that slides perfectly into your Prime Video lineup: AMC+. It starts at $6.99/month after a seven-day free trial and gives you way more than just access to AMC shows. You're also getting Shudder, Sundance Now, and IFC Films Unlimited in the mix, plus six live TV channels-which makes it kind of a sneaky-good deal.

If you're deep in The Walking Dead universe, this is where you'll find it all. You'll also get new titles like The Ugly Stepsister and a steady rotation of thrillers, offbeat dramas, and indie gems that don't always hit the mainstream. It's one of those low-effort upgrades that delivers a surprisingly wide range of content without the extra hassle.
