No, Starz is not included directly with an Amazon Prime membership; it is available as a separate add-on channel.
While Starz is not part of the standard Amazon Prime subscription, Prime members can easily subscribe to Starz as a Prime Video Channel. This means you can manage your Starz subscription through your Amazon Prime account and access its content directly within the Amazon Prime Video ecosystem.
How Starz Works with Amazon Prime
To clarify the relationship between Starz and Amazon Prime, consider the following points:
- Separate Subscription: Starz is an "Amazon Prime Channel Add-On service." This implies it requires an additional monthly subscription fee beyond your standard Prime membership cost.
- Convenient Access: Being a Prime Video Channel allows you to sign up for Starz directly through your Amazon Prime account, streamlining the billing and access process.
- Integrated Viewing: Once subscribed, you can watch Starz content via the Amazon Video App. This integration means you don't need a separate Starz app; all content is accessible in one place.
- Device Compatibility: To view Starz content through Amazon Prime Video, you must use devices that are compatible with and capable of downloading the Amazon Video App. This includes smart TVs, streaming devices (like Fire TV Stick, Roku, Apple TV), game consoles, and mobile devices.
In essence, an Amazon Prime membership provides the platform through which you can easily subscribe to and watch Starz, but it does not automatically grant access to Starz content without an additional purchase.
