Consumers, the cost is what the subscription costs.

Pretty trivial compared to the cost of Beats.
It seems to be an Apple product delivered by Amazon, and I am curious as to where and how the money currents flow.

I am a Prime member, so I get some things from Amazon on Alexa, and Fire without additional cost, bu some things on Alexa or Fire cost extra.

So the question here for the above subject works out to be.
Pay money for the echo devices, and then:
money for the Prime membership or NOT,
then money for the extra Amazon service for some other items?

Money for certain Apple services: from the customer,
to Amazon, to Apple, to other as yet unspecified entities.


It could get complicated.
