It’s still Prime Day through the end of Friday, June 26, which means there’s still plenty of time to snag some deals. We’ve hand-picked the best deals across tons of categories, from laptops and TVs to books and headphones. But if you’re not looking to spend any money this Prime Day, we get it. It’s too expensive to merely exist in 2026. That’s why we had to shout out some of the stuff you can get completely for free (or almost free) during this year’s annual Prime Day event.
One thing to note: You’ll have to be a Prime member to score most of these freebies. So technically, it’s not free if you’re paying for a Prime membership, but I digress. We take what we can get these days. Here are the best free Prime Day deals and *almost* free Prime Day deals you can grab before the sale ends.
Audible Standard
free for 3 months + $20 credit
Probably the best freebie you can grab this Prime Day, Amazon is offering new and returning subscribers three free months of its Audible Standard subscription, plus a free $20 credit to spend on audiobooks. Usually, Amazon’s annual Prime Day deal gives new members three free months of Premium Plus, but the brand launched a new tier recently, so the deal is a bit different this year. The Standard plan lets you select one audiobook each month from the entire Audible collection, but unlike Premium Plus, you can’t keep the titles forever and credits don’t roll over to the next month. Still, with three months and a free $20 credit, you’ll have a stacked summer of reading with your ears. You’ll be automatically charged the full $8.99 monthly fee at the end of the promo period if you don’t cancel.
Kindle Unlimited
One of my favorite subscriptions I actually pay for each month, Kindle Unlimited is free for three months for both new and returning subscribers. A subscription essentially gives you access to unlimited books. Technically, you can only borrow up to 20 at a time, but you can easily return and borrow more regularly to keep your digital library fresh and full. Plus, there are zero wait times or due dates like with Libby (the beloved free library app). I can’t recommend it enough if you’re looking to read more this summer. You don’t need a Kindle device to take advantage of Kindle Unlimited; the app can be accessed on virtually any device. Though, several Kindles are at all-time low prices during Prime Day if you want to snag one. Subscriptions renew at $11.99 if you don’t cancel before your promo period ends.
Mashable Trend Report
Amazon Music Unlimited
Now’s a good time to pause your Spotify or Apple Music subscription and check out Amazon Music Unlimited, as it’s free for four whole months for new and returning subscribers. It’s usually $11.99 per month for Prime members, so that’s nearly $50 in savings. Amazon Music Unlimited unlocks not only a massive on-demand, ad-free music catalog, but also ad-free podcasts and one free audiobook per month via Audible.

when you spend $50 on select household essentials
The best things to buy during Prime Day are items you were going to buy already, like toilet paper, cleaning supplies, trash bags, and other household essentials. Not only are products you regularly use probably on sale, but when you spend $50, Amazon will give you a free $15 credit to spend on more stuff. It’s a win-win all around.
$5 pizza from Little Caesars
As a little Prime Day treat, Amazon linked up with Little Caesars to give Prime members a $5 large pizza (pepperoni or cheese) once per day through the end of Prime Day on June 26. That means you have two more opportunities to lock in your $5 pizzas (details here). It’s not free, but $5 for a large pizza is practically a steal.
99-cent streaming services
My personal favorite Prime Day deals this year are the 10+ streaming services for 99 cents. Popular streaming add-ons for Prime Video like Paramount+ and Starz, as well as underrated gems like AMC+, MGM+, and Shudder, are all just 99 cents per month for two months for Prime members. Besides free trials, which are hardly ever longer than one week, that’s about the cheapest you can get any streaming service in 2026.
