# PLAY Games vs Amazon Prime Video

The clearest difference is rating: Amazon Prime Video at 4.8 against PLAY Games's 2.8. Amazon Prime Video also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (3.1M vs 18). PLAY Games's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PLAY Games sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Amazon Prime Video sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Amazon Prime Video holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazon Prime Video has 3.1M ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of PLAY Games's written reviews are positive against 17% of Amazon Prime Video's.

PLAY Games ships an update every 6 months, Amazon Prime Video every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
