So to begin with, if you live in the U.S, this post isn’t for you. Because of content licensing restrictions, how a service works in the U.S is quite different from how it works in other regions. Very many people will be taken unawares by this fact and they’ll have to resort to VPNs to circumvent these restrictions.
Geographical availability
Even though streaming services work on the internet much like search engines, social media networks, email services etc, they are still limited geographically. This is majorly because of content licensing restrictions. Production studios normally make movies or shows licensed to only specific markets, in most cases on the U.S. Score: 5/5
Pricing and Plans
Payment is through credit/debit cards. Your ordinary Bank ATM will most likely work but you must talk to your bank first to enable it for online transactions for Ugandan residents. Competitors such as Netflix, Showmax start from around the same range, so we can say Prime video scores quite highly on pricing. Score: 4/5
Content variety
And if you are looking for African-specific content such as Nigerian movies, then you won’t find anything. Score 3.5/5
Platform support
Score 5/5
