Prime Video offers several subscription plans:
- Amazon Free with Ads (formerly known as Freevee)
- Prime Video with ads
- Prime Video ad-free
VidAngel connects to all of them! However, please be aware that Free with Ads and Prime Video with ads does not work on Roku or while casting. You'll need to upgrade to the ad-free plan, or watch on a different device.
If you upgrade your Prime subscription to ad-free, then you can watch on your VidAngel Roku app or through casting. And of course, then you can watch without ads on Amazon and VidAngel!
