# Amazon Prime Video vs Upflix

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 (#5 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.

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.

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.

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