How to Cancel Crunchyroll (2026)

Two things to know upfront: the cancel button is not in the Crunchyroll app (you need the website), and the free ad-supported tier was removed on 31 December 2025. If you cancel now, you lose access entirely. There's no free fallback.

How to cancel (direct billing)

If you pay Crunchyroll directly with a card or PayPal:

1. Go to crunchyroll.com and sign in
2. Click your profile picture (top right) > Settings
3. Under General, select Membership Info
4. Click Cancel Subscription
5. Scroll to the bottom of the next page and click Cancel Membership a second time

That second click is easy to miss. You need to scroll down past Crunchyroll's "we'll miss you" messaging to find the actual confirmation button.

If you paid via PayPal: Also disable the auto-payment agreement in PayPal (Settings > Payments > Manage Automatic Payments > Crunchyroll). Otherwise PayPal may keep billing you even after you cancel on Crunchyroll's site.

Cancel if you subscribed through Apple

1. Open Settings on your iPhone > tap your name > Subscriptions
2. Find Crunchyroll and tap Cancel Subscription

The cancel option will not appear on the Crunchyroll website if you're billed through Apple. You have to cancel through Apple.

Cancel if you subscribed through Google Play

1. Open the Google Play Store app
2. Tap your profile icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions
3. Find Crunchyroll > Cancel subscription

Make sure you're logged into the same Google account you used when subscribing. If you used a different Google account, the subscription won't appear.

Cancel if you subscribed through Amazon Prime Video

Crunchyroll launched as a Prime Video Channel in Australia in October 2024. If you added it there:

1. Log into your Amazon account
2. Go to Memberships & Subscriptions or Prime Video Channels
3. Find Crunchyroll > Cancel Channel

Current pricing (AUD)

Prices increased on 2 February 2026, the first hike since 2019:

The Ultimate Fan tier (6 screens, manga access) exists in the US but does not appear to be available in Australia.

A 7-day free trial is available on all plans for new subscribers.

The free tier is gone

Crunchyroll removed its ad-supported free tier on 31 December 2025. Previously, you could watch a limited selection of older anime with ads for free. That's no longer an option. If you cancel, you lose all streaming access.

Funimation and AnimeLab

If you're wondering what happened to Funimation or AnimeLab: they're gone. Sony merged everything into Crunchyroll. Funimation shut down in April 2024. AnimeLab (the Australian anime service) was folded into Crunchyroll before that. All their content is now on Crunchyroll. You only need one subscription.

Worth knowing

• Subscribe-cancel cycling. Many anime fans subscribe for a month when a new season drops, binge it, then cancel until the next season. Crunchyroll's monthly plan makes this easy.
• Annual plan saves ~$24/year. If you watch regularly, the annual Fan plan works out to $10/month instead of $11.99.
• Downloads disappear immediately. Unlike some services where downloaded content works until your billing period ends, Crunchyroll's offline downloads stop working as soon as your subscription lapses.
