How the products differ

Netflix: Netflix suits people who want films, series and originals on many devices with no ads, with a Mobile plan for phone-only viewers at 74,000 ₫/month in Vietnam. The trade-offs: no free tier or trial on the pricing page, a top plan at 26.99 USD/month in the US, and a Google Play rating in Vietnam of just 3.3/5.

Prime Video: Prime Video suits people who already have Amazon Prime and want originals such as Reacher or The Boys, offline downloads and add-on channels in one app. The trade-offs: the standard tier has ads, ad-free viewing and 4K cost extra, and user ratings diverge sharply (4.8/5 on the US App Store, 2.8/5 on Google Play, 1.2/5 on Trustpilot).

Choose around your use case

Netflix: Fits Frequent film and series viewers who want no ads; Phone-only viewers in markets with a Mobile plan, such as Vietnam (74,000 ₫/month). Strengths: In Vietnam, every plan on the official pricing page is ad-free; Four Vietnam plans from 74,000 to 273,000 ₫/month, all with offline downloads.

Prime Video: Fits Existing Amazon Prime members in the US or another supported market who want films and original series on top; Viewers of live sport such as Thursday Night Football (US) and select NBA and WNBA games. Strengths: Per Google Play: originals (Reacher, The Boys, Fallout), new films, live sport, offline downloads and separate profiles; More than 100 add-on subscriptions such as Starz or Apple TV inside the app.

Costs and limits to check

Netflix: Mobile: 74,000 VND/month (Vietnam price), as recorded in the review. Trade-off: Vietnam prices rose about 5% from 1 July 2025; Standard at 231,000 ₫ and Premium at 273,000 ₫ are high there.

Prime Video: Prime Video: 8.99 USD/user/month, as recorded in the review. Trade-off: US pricing keeps rising: the ad-free add-on went from 2.99 to 4.99 USD/month, and since 10 April 2026 4K requires Ultra. Prices retain the currency and billing units recorded in the source profiles; no currency conversion or plan equivalence is assumed. Check official prices, limits and terms before payment.

When to consider another option

Netflix is not aimed at: People who only want a free service or a trial; Viewers who mainly want scheduled local TV or regular live sports.

Consider alternatives to Prime Video if you are: People who want one clear ad-free price: the standard tier has ads and Ultra costs extra; People where the service is not offered: opened from a Vietnam connection, the official site says it cannot offer the service at that location. Read these limitations alongside the feature table before deciding; a single strength cannot compensate for a missing requirement.
