You can add Paramount Plus to Amazon Prime Video as a channel add-on, so you watch both services in one app
Paramount Plus is available as an add-on channel within Amazon Prime Video. This means you can subscribe to Paramount Plus directly through your Prime Video account and watch both services' content in the same app, without switching between two separate apps. The process takes about five minutes and works on most devices that support Prime Video.
The add-on costs the same as a standalone Paramount Plus subscription — currently $5.99 per month with ads or $11.99 per month ad-free, though these prices vary by region and change over time. Your payment goes through your Amazon account, so it appears on your Amazon bill rather than as a separate charge.
Key Takeaways
- You add Paramount Plus as a Prime Video channel through the Prime Video app or website, not through a separate Paramount Plus app.
- The subscription costs the same as buying Paramount Plus directly, but the charge appears on your Amazon bill.
- You can cancel the add-on anytime through your Amazon account settings without affecting your Prime membership.
- The add-on works on Fire TV devices, Roku, Apple TV, Samsung Smart TVs, PlayStation, Xbox, and most phones and tablets that run Prime Video.
- If you already have a standalone Paramount Plus subscription, you cannot link it to Prime Video — you would need to cancel and re-subscribe through Amazon.

How to add Paramount Plus on a Fire TV, Roku, or smart TV
On a Fire TV device, open Prime Video and go to the menu. Select Your Purchases or Account, then Channels. Search for Paramount Plus, select it, choose your plan, and confirm the subscription.
On Roku, Apple TV, Samsung Smart TV, or other streaming devices, open Prime Video and navigate to the menu or settings. Look for Channels, Add Channels, or Subscriptions. Search for Paramount Plus, select your plan, and confirm. The exact menu names vary by device, but the process is the same on all of them.
What happens after you subscribe
Paramount Plus content will appear in your Prime Video app within minutes. You can search for Paramount Plus shows and movies directly in Prime Video's search bar, and they will show up alongside Prime Video's own content. You do not need to open a separate Paramount Plus app — everything is in Prime Video.
Your subscription will renew automatically on the same date each month. You will see the charge on your Amazon bill under Prime Video Channels or Paramount Plus. If you want to cancel, you can do so anytime through your Amazon account without affecting your Prime membership.
How to cancel the Paramount Plus add-on
Go to primevideo.com on a web browser or open Prime Video on your phone. Navigate to Account & Settings or Your Purchases, then Memberships and Subscriptions or Channel Subscriptions. Find Paramount Plus in the list and click or tap Cancel Channel or Unsubscribe. Confirm the cancellation.
Your access will end at the end of your current billing cycle — you will not lose access mid-month. If you cancel and then want to resubscribe later, you can add it back the same way. Canceling the Paramount Plus add-on does not affect your Prime Video membership or any other subscriptions.
If you already have a standalone Paramount Plus subscription
You cannot link a standalone Paramount Plus account to Prime Video. The two subscriptions are separate, and Prime Video does not recognize an existing Paramount Plus login. If you want to use Paramount Plus through Prime Video instead, you will need to cancel your standalone subscription and then add Paramount Plus as a Prime Video channel.
Before you cancel, check whether your standalone subscription has any remaining time on it — you will not receive a refund for unused days. Once you cancel, you can add Paramount Plus through Prime Video and your billing will restart on the new date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my existing Paramount Plus password to log in through Prime Video?
No. When you add Paramount Plus as a Prime Video channel, you do not log in with a Paramount Plus account. You watch through Prime Video using your Amazon login. If you want to use your existing Paramount Plus account, you would need to open the standalone Paramount Plus app instead of watching through Prime Video.
Will adding Paramount Plus through Prime Video change my Prime membership cost?
No. Your Prime membership price stays the same. The Paramount Plus add-on is a separate monthly charge that appears on your Amazon bill. You can cancel it anytime without affecting Prime.
What devices can I watch Paramount Plus on through Prime Video?
Paramount Plus works through Prime Video on Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV, Samsung Smart TVs, LG Smart TVs, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, and web browsers. If your device supports Prime Video, it supports the Paramount Plus add-on.
If I pause my Prime membership, does the Paramount Plus add-on pause too?
No. Pausing Prime Video does not pause channel add-ons. If you pause your Prime membership, your Paramount Plus subscription will continue to charge and renew. You would need to cancel the Paramount Plus add-on separately if you do not want to be charged while Prime is paused.
Can I share the Paramount Plus add-on with other people on my Amazon household account?
Yes. If you have set up an Amazon Household, other adults and children on that account can watch Paramount Plus through Prime Video on their own devices using their own logins. The subscription is shared across the entire household, but you only pay once.
