Key factors of Disney Plus’ success! Should Amazon Prime follow in their footsteps?
Change language:
Disney Plus shocked everyone with its huge success as it managed to get 10 million subscribers on its day of release. Currently, it stands at 100 million subscribers, being the fifth biggest streaming platform in the world.
Disney+ is a geo-restricted platform and is only available in selected regions. If Disney+ is not available in your region, you can easily unblock Disney Plus anywhere with a VPN.
Although Amazon has more than 200 million global subscribers, its growth rate is quite low as compared to Disney Plus. Is Amazon Prime not following the right path, and should it use the same tactics as Disney+? We have shared our opinion quoting the facts and figures in this article.
Price Comparison
Amazon Prime Video Memberships cost $8.99/month, and you can also get it with the Amazon Prime membership package, which costs $12.99 a month or $119 per year (approximately $9.92/month). The Amazon Prime membership is relatively more expensive than the Prime Video membership as it also lets you rent individual content titles, unlike the Prime Video Membership.
On the other hand, Disney Plus offers its services at $7.99/month and $79.99/year. If we compare Prime Video and Disney+ prices, then we will see that Disney Plus is relatively cheaper than Prime Video.
The introduction of a new streaming platform with a subscription price less than its competitors, including Prime Video and Netflix, helped Disney+ in getting a great number of new subscribers.
Subscriber Count
Amazon Prime was launched in 2007 and hit 100 million subscribers globally in 2018. Currently, Amazon Prime stands at 200 million subscribers, behind only Netflix.
Disney Plus got released in November 2019 and has crossed 100 million subscribers till now (the fastest growth rate for any streaming platform).
Disney Plus has outdone its expected number of subscribers multiple times. As it first debuted with 10 million subscribers on its first day, which made headlines everywhere, later the service was expected to hit 90 million+ subscribers by 2024, but it crossed 90 million subscribers in just a year of its release.
