Amazon Prime Video price in Switzerland: what you pay
How much Prime Video costs in Switzerland
Amazon quotes CHF 9.99 per month for Prime Video in Switzerland. The standalone video subscription should be distinguished from the German Prime package. Before signing up, check the price and any trial period offered on your order screen.
Sources checked: 3 November 2026. This guide is based on Amazon's information for Swiss customers and its official usage rules, not our own product tests. Prices and personal offers can change.
Do not apply German Prime prices or shipping benefits to a Swiss video subscription. Similarly, a yearly total calculated from twelve monthly payments is not a discounted annual offer.
For any title you want to watch, check whether it is included in the subscription or must be paid for separately. Availability can vary by country and date. A large advertised catalogue is no substitute for checking your own watchlist.
Extra costs: add-on channels, rentals, purchases and advertising
CHF 9.99 is only the starting point. If you want more, you pay extra, and this is where costs often overlooked in price comparisons arise.
Add-on channels may cost extra. For each channel, check the current price, any trial period and subsequent billing. We do not quote unverified individual prices here.
Renting and buying should be distinguished from the catalogue included in the subscription. Historical reports on the Swiss store launch are available from m&k and BMQ. For current prices and viewing windows, however, the individual title page is what counts. Amazon generally specifies 30 days to start a rental and then 48 hours to finish watching; individual titles may have different limits.
Advertising and any ad-free option depend on the offer and country. Check the information for your Swiss account. German add-on prices do not establish Swiss terms; we claim neither that a particular Swiss advertising option exists nor that all rented or purchased titles are ad-free.
Standalone subscription or Prime membership: the differences in Switzerland
Prime Video can be subscribed to separately in Switzerland. Our older guide on internet-offer.ch (in German) makes a different claim; on this point, follow Amazon's own information for Swiss customers.
Amazon explains on About Amazon Germany that it does not currently offer a regular Prime programme for Swiss customers; Prime Video is the exception. Do not therefore automatically expect the shipping benefits of a German Prime package.
When reading guides such as Recharge, distinguish Swiss video subscriptions from German Prime packages. A German annual price is not a Swiss annual video tariff.
If you only want to stream, compare the video catalogue and actual subscription costs. Check which extras you need separately rather than assuming they are included because of the Prime name.
Calculate annual total costs and compare other streaming subscriptions
Here is how to create an annual budget without confusing it with an annual contract:
Prime Video alone: CHF 9.99 × 12 = CHF 119.88 for twelve paid months, provided the monthly price stays unchanged.
Extra subscriptions and individual purchases: account for these separately at the prices actually displayed.
The calculation assumes an unchanged monthly price. It is not a price guarantee. Add any channels you actually subscribe to and individual rentals or purchases to your budget.
When comparing services, focus on the titles you actually want to watch. General market shares tell you little about whether a particular subscription suits your household.
Add up all streaming subscriptions running at the same time. Before temporarily switching between services, check when each cancellation takes effect and which content will no longer be available afterwards.
If you also want to switch your internet connection, our Swiss internet comparison (in German) provides an overview of connections, not a Prime signup page. For the bandwidth needed for streaming, see How much internet speed do I need? (in German).
Cancellation, trials and device limits in everyday use
If you are offered a trial, note the displayed end date and subsequent costs. Check how cancellation takes effect in your Amazon account and keep the confirmation. For a separate mobile contract, our guide Mobile contract cancellation deadlines in Switzerland (in German) explains different contractual deadlines; these must not be applied to Prime Video.
Amazon's general usage rules normally allow three simultaneous streams per account for titles included in the video subscription, with the same title on no more than two devices. Regional rules and other ways of obtaining content may differ. Check the help pages for your account if needed.
Budget for extra purchases, check the current order price and compare the catalogue you want. If a trial is offered, use it to test devices and content. Transparency note: if we include links on this page to providers that pay us a commission, we will disclose this.
