Amazon Alexa+: $19.99 or Free for Prime Members
Amazon's latest offering, Alexa+, is set to shake things up with a starting price of $19.99 a month. But hey, if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber, you're in luck—it's free for you! They're kicking things off with an early access phase next month in the U.S., and then they'll slowly roll it out to more folks in the coming months.
First up to get the Alexa+ treatment are the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21 devices. It's still a bit of a mystery which other gadgets, like the Echo Dot and Echo Pop, will join the party. Amazon's keeping tight-lipped about that.
Alongside Alexa+, Amazon's launching Alexa.com, a new web platform tailored for those long, drawn-out tasks. They're also giving the Alexa mobile app a facelift with a fresh interface and some new tricks up its sleeve.
"We're not just tweaking chatbots here; we're stepping into a whole new world with generative AI and a totally revamped Alexa," said Panos Panay, Amazon's devices and services head, at a big event in NYC on Wednesday.
At $19.99, Alexa+ is right in the ballpark with other AI-powered chatbots like OpenAI's basic ChatGPT plan and Google's Gemini Advanced, both of which also go for $19.99.
Now, the price tag is a bit steeper than what folks were whispering about. Rumors had it pegged at somewhere between $5 to $10, maybe with a sweet free trial to kick things off. But hey, sometimes things don't go exactly as planned, right?

Alexa+ is cool and all, but the free for Prime members thing is the real deal. I'm just bummed it's not available everywhere yet. Can't wait for the full rollout, but for now, it's a solid start!

Alexa+は素晴らしいけど、Prime会員が無料で使えるのが本当に魅力ですね。まだ全世界で使えないのが残念です。完全に展開されるのを楽しみにしていますが、今のところは良いスタートです！

Alexa+ está genial, pero lo mejor es que es gratis para los miembros de Prime. Lo malo es que aún no está disponible en todas partes. Esperando el lanzamiento completo, pero por ahora, es un buen comienzo.

Alexa+ ist cool, aber das Beste ist, dass es für Prime-Mitglieder kostenlos ist. Schade, dass es noch nicht überall verfügbar ist. Ich freue mich auf die vollständige Einführung, aber fürs Erste ist es ein solider Start!

Alexa+ thật tuyệt, nhưng điều tuyệt nhất là miễn phí cho thành viên Prime. Điều đáng tiếc là chưa có ở mọi nơi. Mong chờ sự phát hành đầy đủ, nhưng tạm thời, đây là một khởi đầu tốt!

Alexa+ is cool and all, especially since it's free for Prime members, but $19.99 a month? That's a bit steep for what it offers. I'll stick to the free version, thanks. Maybe they'll add more features to justify the price later on.
