Amazon is known for its fast shipping, but you can find it elsewhere, so you can finally break up with Jeff Bezos. Walmart+ is the best option to Amazon Prime in general. Even better, it costs less! But there are other things you should think about as well. This year, Amazon's stock went up 17% after it announced its quarterly earnings and the price of a Prime membership in North America. Before, an annual subscription to Prime cost $119, or $12.99 per month. Now, new users will pay $139, and current users' rates will go up on March 25. Amazon Prime has become an important service for many people, including me, who order household items and gadgets every week. However, the expected price increase is harder to justify for people who don't shop as often.
