| I'm curious why anyone would pay $19.99/month for Alexa+ rather than just buy a Prime membership (which is $14.99/month). Unless of course this is going to be met with a price hike for Prime... |

| That's what happened with Prime TV, and I absolutely expect it for the AI, too. And it might finally mean I cancel my Prime membership. |

* 2014: $79 to $99 * 2018: $99 to $119 * 2022: $119 to $139 We should expect a price hike from $139 to $159 in 2026, assuming the trend continues. | | |

| ▲ | ls612 7 days ago | parent [-] | | It works out for them because bandwidth gets cheaper over time but inflation eats away at that. $70 today is like $50 back in 2010 when GFiber first launched. |
