Amazon’s Prime Video has the lowest churn rate of the largest major streaming services in North America, according to new research by Park Associates.
Prime Video churn rate stands at 8%, according to Parks Associates’ data from its quarterly consumer survey of 8,000 US and Canadian internet households.
By comparison, streaming service Discovery+ is nearly at 43% according to Park Associates whose Streaming Video Tracker tracks churn data for 89 total services.
The churn rate is the number of OTT service subscribers that cancel or let their subscription lapse.

“Streaming services are navigating a mature market where retention and referrals, as well as partnerships and brand loyalty are critical,” Sorensen added.
