Amazon’s only surprise Alexa+’s Reveal This week is the price. With inflation rampant and more influential subscription services, $20 per month is the absolute booby price of unproven AI chatbots.
Recall that Alexa historically doesn’t cost anything as long as you have the hardware to run it. So does Google Assistant (now the basic version of Gemini) and Apple’s Siri. They have always been tools for enhancing hardware, not the product itself.
Strangers are $20 a month, what I want to reiterate is Bunkersessentially fake – equivalent to Infinite speed of expansion. I know that’s because the full order Prime subscription costs $5 less per monthincluding Alexa+. You can read one of these two ways. Amazon believes that Alexa+ has more value than the entire Prime. Or, ridiculous pricing is an artificial speed that can bring people into Amazon’s ecosystem while also encouraging them to buy some echo hardware when using it. Somehow, a company was charged us and Europe Deceptively separating customers from their money, this trick has not been tried.
In a vacuum, the $20 for Alexa+ is indeed consistent with some other advanced AI services – both Openai’s Chatgpt Plus and Google One Gemini Advanced Plan cost the same price. Like the original Alexa, Amazon is at least different in making the generated AI voice assistant relax on your smart home. And, I did find the option to build an upload document library in Alexa+’s memory, just like I prefer anyone outside of Amazon, who is the one who stores that information. But despite some potentially useful features, it is impossible to spend that money on Alexa+ now, as Amazon predictably affected some of the presentations in its presentations and barely allowed any journalist to actually test them at the event.
I don’t think Amazon expects a lot of registrations at $20 a month. In addition to attracting more people to sign up for Prime, this wild country of Alexa+ Telegraphs has increased Prime’s cost faster. It has Just over two years Since Amazon has raised the price of Prime, we must be cheating again.
Of course, the company will point out Prime’s “adding value” over this time, and to be fair, you do get a lot of dollars at this point – assuming you want to continue spending more cash on Amazon. Alexa+ has the ability to get into the frame well with built-in grocery listings and ordering through Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods. Vanilla Alexa tends to order regular, non-rotten items from Amazon – Sometimes No user plans – Of course it will continue.
My advice? Given the economy, just keep hell away from this. There are many services that are more fun or useful to your money. Google’s Gemini Advanced Plan comes with 2TB of drive storage and a small amount of other privileges. Or you can sign up for Xbox Game Pass. Or blow money on the service of several video streams and let #Content wash you off when you slide into the abyss. At least these options are not a portal to hand over more of your hard-earned cash to Amazon.
