No. Amazon Prime does not include Spotify. Prime includes Amazon Music at no additional cost, while Spotify remains a separate service with its own free tier and paid Premium features.

What Prime gives you instead
Amazon’s current music benefit for Prime members is Amazon Music for Prime members, not Spotify. Amazon says Prime includes access to Amazon Music with more than 100 million songs in shuffle mode, ad-free top podcasts, and All-Access Playlists that can be played on demand and downloaded offline in those playlists on its official Amazon Music explainer.
Spotify and Prime side by side
| Option | What it costs | What you actually get |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Prime | Included in Prime | Amazon Music for Prime members, not Spotify; shuffle play from Amazon’s catalog plus ad-free top podcasts per Amazon. |
| Spotify Free | Free separately | Spotify says basic functions are free, and the Alexa Spotify skill supports Spotify Free on Echo devices on Spotify Support and in the official Alexa skill listing. |
| Spotify Premium | Paid separately | Ad-free listening, downloads for offline use, and play songs in any order according to Spotify. |
Is there any official Prime bundle for Spotify?
Not on the current Amazon and Spotify pages reviewed here. Amazon’s listed Prime music benefit is its own Amazon Music offer, and Spotify’s free-versus-Premium documentation describes Spotify as a standalone service rather than a Prime perk on Amazon’s Prime benefits page and on Spotify Support.
Can you still use Spotify with Alexa?
Yes. Amazon says Alexa can play supported third-party music services, and you can set a default music service in the Alexa app on its Alexa help page. Spotify’s official Alexa skill page says to link your Alexa and Spotify accounts, then set Spotify as the default service from the Spotify skill listing.
- Open the Alexa app and make sure your device is set up.
- Open Spotify and go to settings.
- Link your Alexa account to Spotify.
- Set Spotify as the default music service if you want Alexa to use it automatically.
Amazon also notes that not every music service works on every Alexa-enabled device, and some providers have extra terms in Alexa help.
When Amazon Music Prime is the better deal
- You already pay for Prime and mainly want included listening.
- You use Echo devices a lot and want the simplest built-in option.
- You do not need Spotify-specific playlists, recommendations, or social features.
When Spotify Free or Premium makes more sense
- Choose Spotify Free if you specifically want Spotify and do not mind its free-tier limits described by Spotify.
- Choose Spotify Premium if you want ad-free playback, offline downloads, and full control over song order as listed by Spotify.
- Keep Prime only for music if Amazon Music already covers what you listen to.
Quick decision checklist
| If you want | Best fit |
|---|---|
| Music included with Prime | Amazon Music for Prime members |
| Spotify without paying monthly | Spotify Free |
| Spotify without ads and with offline downloads | Spotify Premium |
| Spotify by voice on Echo | Link Spotify to Alexa and set it as default |
Bottom line
Amazon Prime is not a free Spotify subscription. If you want the music service already included in Prime, use Amazon Music. If you specifically want Spotify, use Spotify Free or pay separately for Spotify Premium.
