Crunchyroll Plans

The Free Tier Is Actually Good

Unlike many streaming services, Crunchyroll's free tier still has a massive library. You get most anime — just with ads and a one-week delay on the newest episodes. If you can tolerate ads and don't need same-day simulcasts, the free tier works great.

Free Anime Alternatives

• Crunchyroll Free — same platform, ads, slight delay on new episodes
• Tubi — free, has a growing anime section
• Pluto TV — free, dedicated anime channels
• YouTube — many anime studios post full episodes officially
• Netflix — if you already have it, has a solid anime library
• HIDIVE — $4.99/month if you want a cheaper paid alternative focused on dubbed anime

Anime Subscription Audit

Common pattern: paying for Crunchyroll AND Netflix AND Funimation (now merged into Crunchyroll). Since Funimation merged into Crunchyroll in 2024, check that you're not paying for a zombie Funimation subscription that no longer does anything.
