Walmart+ is a paid subscription service and loyalty program of Walmart which is available in the United States. Founded on September 15, 2020, its services include free shipping, discounts at select gas stations, free online pet care, 25% discounts at Burger King, video subscription services, reward points on Walmart purchases, and early access to Walmart sales. Amazon Prime is the main competitor to Walmart+.

History and demographics

Walmart+ was launched on September 15, 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] Walmart has never shared the total number of subscribers since launching the service.[3][4] In September 2021, Deutsche Bank estimated that 32 million US households held a Walmart+ subscription after reaching an inflection point of growth.[4] Morgan Stanley estimated the number of subscribers to be 16 million in August 2022,[5] and between 17.2 million and 26.5 million in January 2025.[6]

In September 2021, 86% of Walmart+ subscribers also had Amazon Prime subscriptions.[4] Walmart+ and Amazon Prime have similar demographics.[4] In 2021, 61% of Walmart+ subscribers had annual household incomes of $50,000 or more, and 33% earned $100,000 or more anually, compared with 63% and 28% for Prime members, respectively.[4] In February 2024, a Prosper Insights & Analytics survey showed that 60% Walmart+ members were between 18-44 years old, compared to 50% of Amazon Prime members and 46.2% of the US population.[7] In the same survey, 39.8% of Walmart+ households had four or more persons, compared to 32.3% for Amazon.[7]

According to a February 2024 consumer survey, 52.9% of Walmart+ consumers were either confident or very confident in the state of the American economy, compared to 41.6% for Amazon Prime members and 37.6% for Walmart in-store shoppers.[7] Walmart+ shoppers had the highest consumer confidence among shoppers at the top ten retailers on the National Retail Federation's Top 2023 retailers list.[7] Annual subscribers to Walmart+ save an average of $300 per year.[8]

New benefits have been added to the subscription service over its history.[4] On August 15, 2022, Walmart reached a deal with Paramount+ to offer the streaming service as part of its Walmart+ offering. Walmart+ customers can access the ad-supported plan on Paramount+ at no additional charge.[3][5] In September 2025, Walmart expanded its video streaming choices by offering Peacock Premium to Walmart+ subscribers.[11] Walmart+ members can switch between a Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium subscription every 90 days.[11]

Pricing

Walmart+ costs $98 per year or $12.95 per month, with applicable tax.[2][9] The subscription price has never changed since the service's launch.[2] College and graduate students and recipients of SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, and other qualifying government aid can purchase Walmart+ Assist, which costs $49 annually or $6.47 monthly, which is 50% off the regular membership price.[8][9] Walmart+ has a 30-day free trial period.[14][9]

For $138 annually or $19.95 monthly, subscribers can get Walmart InHome, a delivery service where vetted, insured, and safety-trained Walmart employees put groceries away on their doorsteps, or in their garages, kitchens, or fridges, as instructed.[15][16] Subscribers must have a compatible lock or garage door opener or purchase installation of one for $49.95, in order to provide Walmart employees one-time access for each delivery into their homes.[15] Employees must wear shoe covers, masks, and fully lit body cameras during their deliveries.[15] A Walmart InHome subscription comes with all the other benefits included in a standard Walmart+ subscription.[13][16]
