I prefer Netflix because of its vast repertoire. Of course, it has many years of expertise backing it. Its international library is vast too. But Amazon Prime is likely to catch up in the coming years.

for some reason, amazon prime annoys me whenever I try and use it. I definitely lean more toward Netflix. Lots of good documentaries and foreign horror movies.

Couldn’t agree more. Amazons selection is better too! I love all their documentaries and horror movies as well!

Hi,

Thanks for your question. I've actually never thought about it before, but I prefer Netflix. They have a better foreign film selection. Amazon Prime tends to have movies and shows that are available for a certain amount of time, then disappear. They do often give notices when specific titles are going to leave, but Netflix makes it more prominent. Also, I find the Netflix app easier to navigate, both on the TV and on my phone. Amazon Prime does have a great selection of free films, but these are riddled with ads.

Netflix is way too commercial. Prime has series that are so different, for example Mrs. Maisel or call the Midwife, that I love.

For me Amazon prime because movies and tv serial comes in regional language which is way better to understand in your own native language.
Netflix is good to watch international movies.

Netflix is more accessible in many places but I have to agree that Amazon Prime is better in terms of shows and the quality of shows.

I think Netlifx is a lot better, as it has a wider range of content to watch.

Netflix, they have a wide range but also very famous and well-known originals that are fun to watch as a community like Squid Game, Stranger Things, etc. I think the fandom behind Netflix is pretty fun.

Its a 80-20 ratio answer.
Netflix has more pros. But not a perfect score

Netflix by far right now but strictly because they have more variety. Prime has better quality shows but they're few and far between. They seem to be catching up though.

While prime has more quality movies. Netflix has some quality movies in mass. They have a variety that I feel prime lacks for now

I personally enjoy Netflix merely because it has an endless amount of crime shows to watch, which are my favorite! I also have children and their family movies are always really good for their ages.
