- Amazon has announced the prices for his new Alexa Plus assistant
- It costs $ 19.99 per Month or will be free for Amazon Prime -subscribers
- There is no news yet about international availability or pricing
Amazon has just announced its new AI-powered Alexa Plus assistant and we now know the most important detail, its pricing.
Alexa Plus costs $ 19.99 per day. Month and will initially only be rolled out in the US in the “next few weeks”. But the good news for Prime members is that it will be free if you already have the subscription that currently costs $ 14.99 a month (or $ 139 annually).
In other words, Alexa Plus will be another important way to lure you to a first -class subscription with Amazon Music, Prime Gaming and the incredibly reliable next day deliveries.
After his first rollout, Amazon says the assistant will roll out “Subsequently in waves in the coming months” to owners of Echo Show 8, 10, 15 and 21. If you don’t have one of these smart speakers, Amazon says you get Early access to Alexa Plus if you buy one of them today.
Unfortunately, we do not yet know about international accessibility, but we are at the Alexa event now and will do our best to find out more information soon.
Analysis: Prime could now be a no-brainer
The early Alexa Plus rumors suggested it could cost in the range of $ 5- $ 10 a month (about £ 5- £ 10 / AU $ 8-AU $ 16). But while this official pricing is higher than expected, it is now clear that Alexa Plus is clearly a way to push more people against Amazon Prime. In fact, it is currently cheaper to just get Amazon Prime.
While there are impressively free, AI-driven voice assistants-not at least chatgpt’s advanced voice mode that recently came to its free level-is none as closely integrated with smart speakers as Alexa Plus, and this is where Amazon’s new assistant could cut out an audience .
We need to see how well it works in practice, but the demos showed it was impressively versatile – offering powerful smart home integration, an ability to order products or groceries, book tickets or restaurant reservations and much more.
Amazon says Alexa Plus will work on almost any Alexa device, it is released, although early access starts at Echo Show 8, 10, 15 and 21 – so they should have if you want to try it first .
