Amazon has launched a new Amazon Prime Lite subscription. The price of this subscription plan will be much less than the regular Amazon Prime subscription plan. Amazon Prime Lite is an annual subscription plan that comes with a validity of 12 months.
Amazon has introduced a new Prime Lite subscription tier for its users in India. This will be a cheaper version of prime membership with lesser benefits. Amazon Prime Lite comes with just one annual subscription plan, unlike Prime Membership. Amazon Prime Lite has been launched for Rs 999 for 12 months. On the other hand, Amazon Prime membership in India costs Rs 1,499 for one year.
How to sign in
Amazon Prime Lite is available for users in India on Android, iOS and web. Users can now choose any of these platforms to sign up for this plan. Any user who has not taken Prime membership can subscribe to the new and cheaper version of Amazon’s premium membership. This means that if you do not want to take Rs 1499 and year-long membership, then you can take Amazon Lite membership.
What will happen inside both?
Apart from the difference in price, Amazon Prime Lite comes with less perks as compared to the Prime membership. Amazon Prime Lite does not come with Amazon Music, Prime Reading, Prime Gaming and Prime Advantage benefits. Under the Prime Advantage benefits, users can avail no-cost EMI on the purchase of the smartphone and free screen replacement for up to 6 months on select devices.
Amazon website informed that Amazon Prime Lite customers will not be able to access Prime Video OTT platform on web browser. In addition, Lite subscribers can access Prime Video on two devices simultaneously with resolutions limited to HD quality. Prime members can stream content in up to 4K resolution to up to 4 devices simultaneously. The company has not yet announced whether users will see advertisements on the OTT platform or not. It was earlier rumored that like Netflix, Amazon is also working on an add-tier subscription plan for the users.
What will be the other facilities
Like Prime members, Amazon Prime Lite subscribers will get free two-day delivery. Lite plan subscribers also have the option of paying an additional Rs 175 to get morning delivery on eligible products. Additionally, subscribers will also get free no-rush shipping to eligible addresses where they will get Rs 25 cashback on every order. Amazon Prime Lite members will also get unlimited 5 percent reward points for shopping on Amazon along with Amazon Pay ICICI Credit Card and exclusive Prime deals and early access to Amazon.
