Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Amazon Prime Video at 4.8 against Upflix's 4.3. Amazon Prime Video also leads on ratings volume (3.1M vs 5.6K) and chart position (#4 vs unranked). Upflix's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 17%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Amazon Prime Video sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Upflix sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Amazon Prime Video holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazon Prime Video has 3.1M ratings behind it against 5.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Amazon Prime Video's written reviews are positive against 28% of Upflix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Amazon Prime Video ships an update every 4 days, Upflix every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
