Frequently asked questions
Prime Video offers more raw content value at £8.99/month standalone — around 10,000 titles including award-winning originals, and it's included free if you already pay for Amazon Prime (£95/year). Disney+ is better value for families and franchise fans: its Premium plan (£11.99/mo) delivers comprehensive 4K across the MCU, Star Wars, and Pixar catalogues, and the Standard with Ads tier starts at just £4.99/month.
Yes, Prime Video streams selected titles in 4K Ultra HD at no extra cost on Prime Video and Prime membership plans. However, 4K is not available across the full catalogue — availability depends on the title. Disney+ Premium (£11.99/mo) offers 4K HDR across a broader proportion of its library.
Prime Video offers live sports via the TNT Sports add-on (separate subscription), covering the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, cricket, and more. Disney+ has no live sports offering in the UK — it is entirely on-demand entertainment.
Disney+ is the stronger family service: it includes every Disney and Pixar film ever made, dedicated Kids profiles with curated homepages, and no ads on Kids profiles even on the Standard plan. Prime Video has parental controls and the separate Prime Video Kids section, but its children's content catalogue is far narrower.
Prime Video has the significantly larger library with around 10,000 titles in the UK across every genre. Disney+ has around 1,500 titles, but with exceptional franchise depth: every MCU film and series, all Star Wars content, Pixar, Disney Animation, and National Geographic — all in one place.
No. Disney+ and Amazon Prime are separate subscriptions with no bundle in the UK. Amazon Prime (£95/year) includes Prime Video but not Disney+. You need to subscribe to Disney+ separately — plans start at £4.99/month with ads.
