HIGHLIGHTS:

Amazon India has introduced a new and affordable membership called Amazon Prime Lite, offering similar benefits to Amazon Prime. The service was initially launched for select customers earlier this year. Let’s explore the price and benefits of this new membership.

Amazon Prime Lite subscription price:

The annual subscription cost for Amazon Prime Lite is Rs. 999. Unlike Amazon Prime, monthly or quarterly plans are not available for the Lite version. You can sign up for Prime Lite membership on Amazon’s website, mobile app, or through the Android and iOS apps.

Amazon Prime Lite benefits:

  • Free Two-Day and Standard Delivery: Prime Lite members will enjoy free two-day delivery and standard delivery with minimum order requirements.
  • Free No-Rush Shipping and Rs. 25 Cashback: Members will also receive free no-rush shipping and Rs. 25 cashback on eligible orders.
  • Morning Delivery Option: Members can opt for morning delivery, but it will incur an additional cost of Rs. 175 per item.
  • 5% Cashback for Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Cardholders: Prime Lite members who have an Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card can avail 5% cashback on purchases made on the platform.
  • Access to Prime Video: Similar to Amazon Prime, Prime Lite membership grants access to Prime Video, allowing members to watch a wide range of content in HD with ads on various devices.
  • Early Access to Lightning Deals: Members will get early access to Lightning Deals, exclusive Lightning Deals, and Deals from Dacha.

Differences between Prime Lite and Amazon Prime:

Prime Lite offers fewer benefits compared to Amazon Prime, resulting in a lower cost. The differences include the absence of one-day delivery, same-day delivery, access to the Prime reading catalogue, Prime Music, and Prime Video without commercials. Prime Lite also does not provide the “Prime Advantage” which includes the no-cost EMI option and 6 months of free screen replacement. Additionally, free in-game content and Amazon Family features are exclusive to Amazon Prime.
