Crunchyroll has announced a price increase for its streaming plans, impacting U.S. subscribers. New subscribers experience the adjusted rates immediately, while existing subscribers will see changes reflected in billing cycles after March 4. The Fan Tier rises from $7.99 to $9.99 per month, the Mega Fan Tier jumps from $11.99 to $13.99, and the Ultimate Fan Tier increases from $15.99 to $17.99. This marks Crunchyroll's second hike since merging with Funimation, following earlier adjustments in May 2024. The service recently eliminated its free streaming plan, contributing to the latest increase. Despite these changes, Crunchyroll emphasizes its role as the world's leading anime platform, boasting over 50,000 episodes and numerous enhancements like multi-profiles and device compatibility. With 17 million paying subscribers as of March 2025, Crunchyroll is aiming for further growth, aligning with Sony's strategic plans to amplify its offerings in the anime market.

What are the new Crunchyroll subscription prices?

The new Crunchyroll subscription prices are as follows: Fan Tier at $9.99/month (up from $7.99), Mega Fan Tier at $13.99/month (up from $11.99), and Ultimate Fan Tier at $17.99/month (up from $15.99).

Crunchyroll has become synonymous with anime streaming, notably growing its library through its merger with Funimation. With a vast catalog that includes not just anime series but also manga and films, it continues to enhance user experience through innovative features and exclusive content, including upcoming titles like the Ghost of the Tsushima anime. The drive to increase subscription value seems aimed at solidifying its position against the competition in the free streaming market.
