Subscribers to the Amazon kids+ multi platform package have received a notice of price changes, which will take effect on July 14 According to the email sent by Amazon, the company is simplifying the pricing structure and converting all prime members to a monthly package of $4.99, and all non prime users to an option of $7.99. In addition, all users will be granted unlimited access to the service, with a maximum of four child files.
This is the first time Amazon has changed its pricing since it launched Amazon freetime in 2012 (renamed Amazon kids and kids+ in 2020). With this change, some consumers will see subscription fees rise, while for others, fees will fall. Therefore, the news is a bit mixed, depending on how each customer subscribes.
Previously, Amazon kids+ had a single child program, starting from $2.99 per month for prime members and $4.99 per month for non prime members. Therefore, these users will receive a price increase of $2-3 technically and will automatically upgrade to four children's files, whether they need additional files or not. Those who have a family plan will receive a price reduction of $2 per month, because prime members used to cost $6.99 per month and non prime members $9.99 per month.
Amazon kids+ offers thousands of child friendly books, movies, TV shows, educational apps and games on compatible fire, fire TV, Android, IOS and kindle devices. The service also provides children with hundreds of hours of child centered non advertising radio stations and playlists, as well as high-quality child skills on compatible echo devices.
