If you’re a shopaholic, you must have shopped at least once from Walmart or Amazon. Both of them are American multinational companies that offer you to purchase a variety of products under one roof.
The primary question of the public remains a dilemma about which store to use. However, both companies have their pros and cons; their customers are divided. On the one hand, Walmart is way more affordable than Prime, while on the other, Amazon Prime has the benefit of more product availability. Not only this, but Walmart has huge in-store benefits, while Amazon has a strategized and organized third-party seller ecosystem. The list of pros does not stop here. It has a lot more than that. If you want to make the right decision for you, read along to know more about the two companies.
As everyone’s aware, Amazon has a premium version that offers exclusive advantages. In competition with Amazon, Walmart made its premium account official naming it as Walmart+. You must be wondering how are the two services better than each other or what’s the difference on their platter?
Amazon has a built-up reputation for its Prime account, but Walmart is going to be launched on September 15, 2020. Thus, it is unrevealed for now, but once it gets launched, you’ll know all about its advantages.
Walmart+ or Amazon Prime: Cost
Of all the factors, the cost is the largest factor to be determined by a customer before deciding between the two. It’s the simplest comparison one looks for while looking at all the substitutes.
If you go for investing in a service provided for a year, Walmart+ will cost you $98. If investing all at once doesn’t seem a good option for you, you can follow a monthly service that will cost $12.95. The best part is that you get to try its premium version for free in the first fifteen days of sign-up.
On the other hand, if we talk about Amazon Prime, its yearly subscription costs $119. At the same time, the monthly subscription is $12.99. Though it makes the conclusion very clear that Walmart+ is cheaper than Amazon, there are methods to get an additional discount on the purchases from Amazon. For instance, it has a plan for students in which they offer six months of free trial and then charge $59 once the trial period ends. Not only this, but Prime offers a 30-days free trial when you sign-up.
Walmart+ or Amazon Prime: Delivery Benefits
The best part about Amazon Prime considering the delivery factor is that it offers free two-day shipping. It makes the delivery super-fast and also free of cost. Considering some of the areas, Prime also has a same-day delivery or two-hour delivery option. Another benefit that Amazon offers is a reward in the form of Amazon credit if you choose a free no-rush delivery service.
Walmart+ offers an unlimited free delivery that steals away all the limelight. It too includes free same-day delivery and free two-day delivery. Also, Walmart+ doesn’t charge you extra for even a single item and all you have to pay is the in-store prices. While Amazon requires a few extra bucks of payment for Prime Pantry.
Walmart+ or Amazon Prime: Whose Level is up Considering In-Store Benefits?
In-Store advantages lie with Walmart as Amazon doesn’t have a lot of stores. One of the advantages offered by Walmart is called ‘Scan & Go’. Interestingly, there’s a service that enables you to use the Walmart app, and you can scan the code of the product via the same. While you can, you’ll be paying for it with the help of Walmart Pay online. Isn’t it fast and easy?
If you’re a Prime subscriber, you can save money at the Whole Foods Market that is owned by Amazon. This grocery store returns you 5 percent of the total bill if you’re a Prime member. They have other additional advantages, including a two-hour delivery service.
Walmart+ or Amazon Prime: Entertainment Options
Amazon is great when it comes to the advantages of its content library, streaming options, etc. Along with Amazon Prime comes complete access to Amazon video that includes unlimited streaming of your favorite shows and movies. Some of the shows offer offline viewing, which means you can download the same. Hold on! We haven’t stopped counting. You can also stream Amazon Prime Music and get yourself unlimited music streaming.
Prime Reading and Amazon Prime Reads are a great way to save on the books for readers. Prime members can borrow and read unlimited books free of cost.
Amazon Prime has been there for more than 15 years. Therefore, it’s not surprising that it has a big advantage of the same. On the other hand, Walmart+ is going to be launched in a few days but it has its pros of being one of the largest retailers.
Walmart+ doesn’t offer as much as Prime, including free streaming. If entertainment isn’t one of your priorities, you can always go for Walmart, but if it is, Prime is a convenient option.
