Crunchyroll offers three membership plans for its users: Crunchyroll Fan, Mega Fan, and Ultimate Fan[1]. Here’s a breakdown of each plan:
- Crunchyroll Fan ($7.99/month): This plan provides access to Crunchyroll’s library of over 1,000 titles and 30,000 episodes, some in simulcast with Japan, all ad-free. It also includes access to the content library of digital manga[1].
- Crunchyroll Mega Fan ($9.99/month): In addition to the benefits of the Fan plan, the Mega Fan plan offers offline viewing, allowing users to download episodes and watch them without an internet connection[2][3]. Mega Fan subscribers also receive a $15 discount on a purchase of $100 or more in the Crunchyroll Store[2].
- Crunchyroll Ultimate Fan ($14.99/month): This plan includes all the benefits of the Mega Fan plan, as well as additional perks such as up to six simultaneous streams, member-only access to exclusive merchandise, and a special benefit for the Crunchyroll Store that provides $100 every three months[4][5].
To upgrade your Crunchyroll membership, you will need to contact Crunchyroll Customer Service, as there is currently no direct way to upgrade without their assistance[1]. The cost of Crunchyroll for a year depends on the plan you choose. For example, the Crunchyroll Fan plan would cost $95.88/year ($7.99 x 12), while the Mega Fan plan would cost $119.88/year ($9.99 x 12), and the Ultimate Fan plan would cost $179.88/year ($14.99 x 12).
