Amazon Prime Video is an OTT platform that offers video streaming services with a growing library of high-quality original content and an extensive streaming catalog of films and TV shows. Originally, the platform served as a service to buy and stream TV shows and movies. With time, Amazon has also introduced the concept of online buffet-style streaming.

Prime video offers ad-free streaming services. Video quality varies from SD to Ultra HD and HDR depending on the show and your system. If you are not subscribed to Prime membership, you can purchase or rent prime video content on a pay-per-title model. You can always switch to a standalone prime video membership for accessibility to the streaming service only. 

You can subscribe for a standalone Amazon Prime Video subscription that gives you access to the video content but would not involve other benefits like Amazon Kindle. Here is the list of subscription plans available for prime video:

1. Standalone Membership: it costs $8.99 per month. You can subscribe for a standalone Amazon Video subscription for video content without other benefits like free two-day shipping, etc.
2. Amazon Prime Membership: Amazon Prime subscription costs $12.99 per month or $119 a year. It includes prime video and additional benefits such as guaranteed two (one day if available) delivery, complimentary music streaming, a Twitch Prime subscription, Whole Foods deals, and many more. 
3. Rent or Buy: it’s a significant advantage offered by Amazon Prime Video. You can rent or buy a show, movie, or any other content. It typically costs anything between $2.99 and $5.99 to rent a film, while purchasing it varies from $7.99 to $19.99, depending on release time and the quality of the content (SD or HD).
