How Much Is Crunchyroll? Plans and Pricing in 2026

Affiliate disclosure: This article contains affiliate links. SubShave may earn a commission if you buy through them. The provider or seller named at checkout handles your purchase.

Crunchyroll's US monthly plans cost $9.99 for Fan, $13.99 for Mega Fan and $17.99 for Ultimate Fan at the time of this review. Fan now includes offline viewing, so downloading anime alone is no longer a reason to upgrade.

The useful comparison is how many people need to stream at the same time, which membership extras you will use, and whether the anime you want is available in your region.

Crunchyroll prices and plans#

These are US base prices before applicable taxes. Regional prices, plan availability and partner billing can differ. See Crunchyroll's official plan comparison for your local offer.

Fan vs Mega Fan vs Ultimate Fan#

Fan: the starting point for one viewer#

Fan includes ad-free library access and downloads for offline viewing on one eligible device. Start here if you normally watch alone. Check the exact series, seasons, subtitles and dubs on your watchlist before subscribing.

Mega Fan: more simultaneous viewing#

Mega Fan adds capacity for four simultaneous streams and access to Game Vault. It costs $4 more each month than Fan in the US comparison. The upgrade makes most sense when simultaneous use or the included games solve a real need.

Ultimate Fan: decide from the extras#

Ultimate Fan allows six simultaneous streams and has additional membership benefits. Store access, merchandise offers and other extras can change, so read the live benefit list instead of relying on an old discount chart. Give those extras a value only if you would use them anyway.

More streams do not establish permission to share an account outside Crunchyroll's rules. They also do not unlock anime that is unavailable in your country.

Does the cheapest plan include downloads?#

Yes. Crunchyroll's February 2026 membership announcement added offline viewing to Fan. Older comparisons that describe downloads as exclusive to Mega Fan are outdated. Device support and title availability still matter: test a download and playback on the device you actually use.

Monthly, annual and gift memberships#

Use the current checkout to compare annual billing with monthly payments. Do not assume an expired introductory annual promotion is still available, or that a digital gift membership has the same redemption and renewal rules as a regular subscription.

For a hypothetical annual quote of $100 and a monthly quote of $10, annual billing only costs less if you would otherwise pay for more than ten months. Apply that calculation to your own live quote. Our annual vs monthly subscription guide explains the full comparison.

Monthly billing is a sensible starting point for a single series or seasonal viewing. Annual billing deserves consideration after the service has become part of a regular viewing routine.

Comparing a marketplace offer#

Marketplace access can differ from a direct Crunchyroll membership. Check whether the selected product supplies a shared profile or another account arrangement; do not assume it gives ownership of the main account.

Before paying, confirm the plan, paid period, account control, recovery access, region, renewal and support. A seller listing does not establish authorization from the original provider. Shared access, an organization invitation and a subscription in your own account are different products.

Check the Crunchyroll listing on GamsGo (affiliate link). Read the selected offer's terms and compare the full amount with buying directly.

Check these points before paying#

• Search for the exact shows and language options you want.
• Count simultaneous viewers, rather than every device you own.
• Test your television, phone and offline playback during an eligible trial.
• Read the full charge, trial conversion date and renewal terms.
• Record whether cancellation is managed by Crunchyroll, an app store or another seller.

A lower-cost plan you use is better value than a larger plan bought for unused extras. Compare the streaming subscription deals guide if your watchlist is spread across several services, and use our subscription savings guide to reduce overlap.

Frequently asked questions#

Is Crunchyroll free?#

The premium plans above are paid subscriptions. Eligible users may see a trial; check its conversion date and cancellation conditions before starting.

Does a higher tier have a bigger anime catalog?#

The decision between these premium tiers should be based on viewing capacity and benefits. Check regional title availability separately.

Which plan should I choose?#

Start with Fan for one active viewer. Upgrade when additional simultaneous viewing or a specific extra is worth the difference to you.
