# Amazon makes Alexa+ free on all Fire TV devices

*2026-08-19 · Source: [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/19/amazon-makes-its-ai-powered-alexa-free-on-fire-tv-no-prime-required/)*

Amazon is rolling out its AI-powered Alexa+ assistant for free on all compatible Fire TV devices in the US, automatically upgrading users regardless of Prime membership status.

**Why it matters:** Alexa+ had largely been gated behind Prime, so removing that gate for Fire TV significantly widens its potential user base. It signals Amazon prioritizing AI assistant adoption over near-term subscription revenue, echoing the free-tier pushes already playing out among competing chatbots.
