Unlike the other three, there's no standalone "Prime Video only" plan in the US — it comes bundled with a full Amazon Prime membership, which also includes free shipping and other Amazon perks.

Which one is worth it based on how much you watch?

If you watch streaming casually overall — Prime Video is bundled into a membership you might already want for shipping benefits, making it effectively the best value of the four.

If picture quality matters a lot to you (4K, HDR, Dolby Atmos) — Max Premium is the cheapest 4K-capable premium tier of the four ($22.99 vs $24.99-$26.99+ for Netflix and others).

If you watch a lot of family/Disney/Marvel/Star Wars content — Disney+ is still the most direct option, especially if you also want ESPN through a bundle.

If you've decided to only pay for one — Netflix's ad-supported tier and Prime Video (via Amazon Prime) are the cheapest entry points, and both let you upgrade later without losing your account.
