Alternate between both services. Do a month or 2 with Netflix, then cancel and swap to Prime for a month or 2.0

I have both and I think netflix has far more and so much easier to navigate. I rarely watch amazon just use it for free postage

Netflix and Prime video are horses for courses.
Ive got both and probably spend more time on Prime video. Id say prime was the value for money option because of savings on shopping (if you call prime deals savings), prime music, next day delivery etc. Netflix has more content, and has a few of the big tv series but it also misses some of them. Prime has fewer series and misses a lot of the big ones but then has things like a few weekends of premier league football this year and the grand tour.
As mentioned above, i think online subscription services are about to start clamping down on multi household abuse.,...the truth hurts! :eek:
Is this the type of tracking s/w you were referring too?;

...after reading that article I’ve had a sleepless night expecting the Rozzer’s to turn up at any moment and batter down my front door.
However, this paragraph from the article could be my redemption: “If the program indicates a password is being shared between family members, the provider could just send an email suggesting they upgrade to a premium account.”
The fact that we already pay Netflix for the top-priced Premium UltraHD package will (hopefully???) save me. I don’t really fancy going down for a 10-stretch at my age.0 -

As do Amazon, they have lots of exclusive big series'. As for ease of use, there's no difference.
It comes down to which carries the content you are interested in. I have both (as well as NowTV) and use both equally.0 -

How are you using Amazon Prime ?
Ive used it on Xbox One, Fire stick and the app on a tv, all 3 are easy to use.
Use a free trial for both services and decide.0 -
I've got both, I rarely use Netflix myself as I like the box sets etc on Prime and watch it on the train on my daily commute, also order alot of stuff from Amazon,
My son watches all the kids stuff on Netflix, so prefer to have both,
Also agree with above, Prime is easy to use,
Really like that the phone app is linked with IMDB aswell, and always provides a link to actors etc specific to that scene,0 -
I've got both but only because I have Amazon Prime Student. I wouldn't go out of my way to pay for Amazon Prime Video but I did for Netflix. I just think there's better content on Netflix and my other gripe with Amazon Prime Video is that you see something you like and then its "not included" and you have to pay for it. Least with Netflix what you see is what you get.
Unless there's a specific show you're after that's specific to one service, I'd go with Netflix.0
