Amazon Prime, watch your back. Whether the company admits to it or not, Walmart+ is coming for you.

We’re not launching Walmart+ with the intent to compete with anything else. We’re launching it with the needs of customers in mind. Janey Whiteside Walmart Chief Customer Officer

According to Gizmodo, Walmart is launching a competing subscription service called Walmart+.

Following an initial 15-day trial, Walmart+ will cost $98 a year or $12.95 a month, with the biggest draw being free deliveries on orders over $35.

Other benefits of Walmart+ include fuel discounts of up to 5 cents a gallon at almost 2,000 Walmart, Murphy USA, and Murphy Express locations.

It will also offer Scan & Go in stores, allowing customers to scan items using the Walmart phone app and check out without needing to stop at a register.
