Here is the answer for you and some other news that you should know about both Amazon Prime and Philo. <\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Is Philo free with Amazon Prime? You  are not the only one asking this question.\u00a0  As there are so many streaming services out there, like Netflix, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/what-is-amazon-prime-video-1426.html?utm_source=leawo.com&#038;utm_medium=250812_amazon_prime_video&#038;utm_campaign=1426\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon Prime Video<\/a>, and others, it\u2019s easy to assume they might be bundled  together.\u00a0 Although Philo is available as  an add-on through Amazon Prime Channels, it\u2019s a separate streaming service with  its own subscription plan. In this article, we will clarify this confusion and  explain whether Philo and Amazon Prime work together or not. Let\u2019s break it  down simply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"subtitle\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/entips\/prime-video-vs-netflix-1426.html?utm_source=leawo.com&#038;utm_medium=250812_prime_video_vs_netflix&#038;utm_campaign=1426\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Prime Video vs. Netflix<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/cleverget.org\/why-crackle-is-shutting-down-and-alternatives-1426.html?utm_source=leawo.com&#038;utm_medium=250812_crackle_shutting_down&#038;utm_campaign=1426\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crackle Shutting Down<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-1\">\n<p>Outline<span>CLOSE<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#part1\">Is Philo Free with Amazon Prime?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part2\">How to Get  Philo on Amazon Device<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part3\">Breaking News: Surcharge for Amazon-billed Philo customers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part4\">What Are Philo\u2018s  Plans &amp; How to Choose?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#part5\">Final Words <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"part1\" class=\"title4\"><strong>Is Philo Free with Amazon Prime?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Philo is a live streaming service  that includes entertainment, lifestyle, and even some news channels. You can  get a decent number of shows without cable and relatively at a low price. But  Philo does not come as part of an Amazon Prime subscription. If Amazon Prime  members want to watch all of their content through their Prime subscription,  then they need to subscribe to the Philo Channel separately through Prime  Video. It costs a bit extra, but it also fits Philo shows inside the Prime  Video app. That means everything is in one place.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/is-philo-free-with-amazon-prime-1.png\" class=\"highslide\" rel=\"highslide\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/is-philo-free-with-amazon-prime-1.png\" alt=\"is philo really free with amazon prime\" width=\"650\" height=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-136102 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/695;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"part2\" class=\"title4\"><strong>How to Get  Philo on Amazon Device<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For now, the Philo Channel is no  longer available for subscription via Amazon Prime Video.

Once the app is installed, just sign up or sign in with your Philo  account, and you\u2019ll be ready to watch all your favourite shows on your Amazon device. You can simply watch Philo\u2019s live TV and on-demand content, even if you  don\u2019t have a Prime Video channel membership.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/philo-on-amazon-prime-2.png\" class=\"highslide\" rel=\"highslide\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/philo-on-amazon-prime-2.png\" alt=\"get philo amazon device\" width=\"650\" height=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-136102 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/692;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"part3\" class=\"title4\"><strong>Breaking News: Surcharge for Amazon-billed Philo  customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a subscription to Philo  that is paid through Amazon Prime, then there is an important change made from  May 12, 2026. After this date, people will no longer be able to sign up for  Philo Channel on Amazon Prime. Although current customers can still watch it on  Prime Video for now but at an extra cost.\u00a0  Philo has announced that the Philo Core plan will cost $32 plus taxes  for Amazon-billed consumers.\u00a0 This  pricing adjustment means that people who keep paying through Amazon will have  to pay more each month starting on that date.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/philo-pricing-surcharge-for-amazon-billed-customers-3.png\" class=\"highslide\" rel=\"highslide\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/philo-pricing-surcharge-for-amazon-billed-customers-3.png\" alt=\"news of philo on amazon prime\" width=\"650\" height=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-136102 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/626;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Philo is successfully convincing  people to switch their subscription directly to their website, <strong>philo.com,<\/strong> where they offer the same  service at a lower cost and without any extra fee.

There, you will  be able to see all of their plans without paying extra. Philo Core (The primary  package) gives you access to more than 60 live TV channels that mainly focus on  entertainment, lifestyle, and more. Its monthly fee is very low.<\/p>\n<p>Along with its core plan, Philo  works nicely with other streaming providers if you want more channels. For  example, some people use Philo with Sling TV or YouTube TV to access news,  sports, or local channels that Philo doesn&#8217;t provide.\u00a0 You can change how you stream at any time  based on what you view the most with these bundles.

Philo has something for everyone, with affordable plans like Philo  Core, a free ad-supported tier, and bundle options with other streaming  services. Your budget and watching preferences will help you select the best  plan, but subscribing directly is the best way to get the affordable price and  the easiest access.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: Is Philo free with Amazon Prime?
