Max is well-known for high-quality, critically acclaimed HBO original series and blockbuster movies, including the Warner Bros. film library and DC Universe content. To reach a wider audience, Max can be added as a Premium channel on other streaming platforms such as Prime Video and Hulu. This guide will introduce how much Max costs on Amazon Prime Video, and how to add it as a Premium channel.
Max is available as an add-on channel on Prime Video with monthly billing. It offers two plans: Basic with Ads and Standard. In addition, Prime Video also provides cost-effective bundle plans such as Max & Cinemax or Max & Starz. A free trial is also available to Max on Prime Video for new subscribers, often a 7-day trial, if Max offers a free trial on its own website.
To add Max on Prime Video, you need to be an Amazon Prime member first ($14.99/month or $139/year, 30-day free trial). Here are the prices of Max and Max bundles on Prime Video:
The Max Standard and Cinemax bundle costs $21.99/month, compared to the original price of $26.98/month (Cinemax costs $9.99 per month).
The Max Standard and Cinemax bundle is available for $20.99 per month, a 25% saving off the original price at $27.98/month (Starz costs $10.99 per month).
While you can enjoy the same content and features with the same plan, there are differences between subscribing to Max directly and as a Prime Video channel.
Firstly, Max offers three subscription tiers, while Max on Prime Video only provides the two more affordable options. The third one is the Premium Plan, allowing you to stream on more devices simultaneously, 4K content, and increased download capacity.
Secondly, Max offers an annual billing option, which can typically save you 16% compared to the monthly price. This yearly payment is not available when subscribing to Max through Prime Video Channels.
Max also offers Disney+, Hulu, and Max Bundle plans, which are also unavailable on Prime Video. These bundle plans are offered in both ad-supported and ad-free versions:
On the other hand, Prime Video allows you to save money by subscribing to bundles that include Max and other streaming services, such as Max & Cinemax and Max & Starz, as mentioned earlier.
To add Max as an add-on channel on Prime Video, an Amazon Prime membership is required. Visit amazon.com and click “Join Prime” to subscribe. Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99/month or $139/year, after a 30-day free trial.
After joining Amazon Prime, follow these steps to add a Max plan:
Max only allows you to download movies and shows on mobile devices with the ad-free plans (Standard and Premium). If you want to download Max titles with an ad-supported (Basic with Ads) account, you can use a professional downloader tool.
