Usually, no — if you truly never shop online, Amazon Prime is often not worth the price. For most people in that situation, Prime only makes sense if you’ll use enough of the non-shopping benefits to justify the membership cost, which is typically about $139/year for annual Prime or about $15/month if you subscribe monthly.

If your main interest is entertainment, compare that cost against the standalone services you actually want. For example, Prime Video by itself is often the cheaper option if you only want one or two shows, while Prime’s broader perks only pay off if you regularly use extras like video, music, reading, photo storage, gaming perks, or grocery/Whole Foods benefits where available.

Rule of thumb: if you wouldn’t otherwise use at least a few of those perks every month, skip Prime and pay only for the services you need. Prices can change, so check current membership pricing and any sold/completed offers before deciding.
