Crunchyroll plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 2 | Entry tier |
| Fan | $7.99/month | 2 | +$7.99/month, 2 more features |
| Mega Fan | $9.99/month | 2 | +$2/month, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Crunchyroll in for anime watching, manga reading. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Crunchyroll are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Crunchyroll
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $9.99/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Crunchyroll runs on web, ios, android, smart-tv, gaming-consoles, and is published by Sony Pictures Entertainment of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Crunchyroll review.
Crunchyroll pricing questions
- How much does Crunchyroll cost?
- Crunchyroll publishes 3 tiers, from Free for Free up to $9.99/month for Mega Fan. The entry tier costs nothing.
- Does Crunchyroll have a free plan?
- Yes. The Free tier costs nothing and covers limited anime, ads. Paying starts at $7.99/month for Fan.
- What is the difference between Free and Fan on Crunchyroll?
- Fan costs $7.99/month against Free, and adds ad-free, simulcasts.
- Is the Mega Fan plan on Crunchyroll worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is offline viewing, 4 streams. It costs $9.99/month against $7.99/month for Fan. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Crunchyroll?
- The record lists 13 features across 4 areas: core, integrations, security, platform. In practice it is brought in for anime watching, manga reading.
- Does Crunchyroll charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Crunchyroll prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Crunchyroll against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Crunchyroll to make a useful price comparison.
