How does Amazon Prime compare to Walmart+ for delivery?
Delivery speed and coverage
Amazon Prime typically includes free two-day shipping on millions of items, with same-day or one-day delivery in many urban areas. Walmart+ offers free delivery from your local store on orders $35 or more, often within a few hours, but the selection is limited to what that store stocks.
For non-grocery items, Amazon usually has the edge in speed and variety. For everyday groceries and household essentials, Walmart+ can be faster because it pulls from a nearby store rather than a warehouse.
- Amazon: vast selection, fast shipping
- Walmart+: local store delivery, good for groceries
- Amazon: same-day in many cities
- Walmart+: no markups on items, but $35 minimum
Cost and extra perks
As of 2025, Amazon Prime costs $139 per year or $14.99 per month. Walmart+ costs $98 per year or $12.95 per month. Both offer fuel discounts, but Walmart+ gives 10 cents off per gallon at participating stations, while Amazon offers discounts at some gas stations through its Prime rewards.
Amazon Prime includes Prime Video, Prime Music, and other streaming benefits. Walmart+ includes a Paramount+ subscription and member prices on fuel. If you value streaming, Prime may be the better deal; if you want grocery delivery without markups, Walmart+ often wins.
- Prime: $139/year, includes video and music
- Walmart+: $98/year, includes Paramount+
- Prime: fuel discounts at some stations
- Walmart+: 10ยข/gal discount at Walmart and Murphy stations
Common mistakes
- Assuming Walmart+ delivery is always free; it requires a $35 minimum for free delivery.
- Thinking Amazon Prime is only for shipping; it includes streaming and other services.
- Believing both services are available everywhere; rural areas may have limited or no same-day options.
