Netflix charges a monthly fee of $7.99 per month, which comes out to $95.88 per year. Amazon Prime costs $99 per year, which comes out to about $8.25 per month. Forgetting the nice shipping benefits you get with Prime, you pay about the same.ecause Prime allows you to invite four other members in your household —not that Amazon actually prevents you from inviting someone across the country—you could split the costs with others and pay as little as $25 per year for your benefits.
