4 Feb
Summary
- Alexa+ now charges $19.99 monthly for non-Prime users.
- Prime members receive Alexa+ access as a free benefit.
- A limited free web text chat option is available.

Amazon has officially ended the early access period for Alexa+, its advanced AI-powered voice assistant. Starting now, non-Prime members must pay $19.99 per month to access the full features of Alexa+, which include ChatGPT-style conversations and agentic AI capabilities.
Prime members will receive Alexa+ as a complimentary benefit included with their subscription. For those unwilling to pay, Amazon has introduced a limited free tier accessible via a web browser, offering text-based chat interactions with the assistant. This free version's usage will be restricted.
While the enhanced Alexa+ offers significant upgrades over the classic version, including the ability to act on user intentions and perform multi-step tasks, its performance can be inconsistent. The original, free version of Alexa will continue to be available for users who do not wish to subscribe to the premium service.
