Alexa+ is part of Amazon’s strategy to improve its older voice assistant by making it more capable and easier to talk to. Millions of users already have access to it, and it is meant to compete with new AI voice tools from OpenAI, Google, and Perplexity.
Currently, Alexa+ is free for Prime members, who pay $14.99 per month for the membership. There is also a separate subscription option for Alexa+ at $20 a month. Jassy suggested that more pricing options may be added in the future, which may possibly include one that removes ads.
Until now, advertising within Alexa has been limited. Sometimes, users might hear a short audio ad between songs or see a product promotion on the Echo Show screen.
