Netflix vs Amazon Prime Video: Which Is Worth Subscribing To?
Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are the two largest streaming services in the world by subscriber count. Netflix has more originals. Prime Video has some of the most-watched shows released in the last five years. Both are available at Norths Clearance for significantly less than what Amazon and Netflix charge directly. Here is a clear breakdown of which one to get, and why most serious streamers should have both.

Where Netflix Wins
Netflix has the largest library of original content by volume and the deepest catalog of international programming. The recommendation algorithm is the best in streaming, and the mobile app experience is the most polished. For families, international viewers, and anyone who wants the maximum amount of content available on any given night, Netflix is the default choice. The sheer breadth of genres covered, including anime, reality TV, documentaries, stand-up, and drama, means there is always something available for every viewer profile in a household.
Where Prime Video Wins
Amazon Prime Video has produced some of the most culturally significant shows of the streaming era. The Boys is consistently one of the most-talked-about series online. Reacher broke Prime Video viewership records on its debut season. Fallout became one of the highest-rated video game adaptations in television history. The Rings of Power is one of the most expensive series ever produced. For action, thriller, and prestige genre content specifically, Prime Video competes directly with Netflix at a lower retail price point.
Prime Video also includes live NFL Thursday Night Football games in the US, which no other streaming service matches without a separate sports add-on.
Should You Get Both?
Yes. At Norths Clearance pricing, Netflix and Prime Video together cost less per month than a single Netflix retail subscription. The catalogs do not overlap, so having both gives you significantly more content for less money than paying retail for one.
