Amazon’s Big Spring Sale kicks off on March 25, but as usual, some deals are rolling in early. One of the best discounts is on the Fire TV Stick, which is less than $20 — a savings of 43%. It’s an easy way to turn an old TV into a smart TV or make a smart TV a little bit smarter. The 4K version of the Fire TV Stick is also discounted, dropping the price to $30.
The cost of streaming devices has gradually climbed; Google discontinued its affordable Chromecast line and replaced it with a $100 Streamer, and brands like Apple and Nvidia make streaming devices that cost between $130 and $200. Alongside Roku, the Fire TV Stick is one of the best bang-for-your-buck options.
Is a Fire TV Stick Worth It?
In 2025, every TV sold is a smart TV, and you probably already have access to the most popular streaming services. So why is a streaming stick still worth it? Most built-in TV UIs are painfully slow and buggy. Rather than getting a new TV, a streaming stick like the Fire TV Stick is the easiest way to clean up a laggy smart TV. Plus, a Fire TV gets you handy access to Alexa.
In addition to paid streaming services, there are tons of free, ad-supported apps on Fire TV, including Freevee, Tubi, and Pluto TV. You can also use your Fire TV Stick and the included Alexa-enabled remote to control your TV settings, check the weather, dim the lights, and all of the typical functions of an Alexa device.
