How to Cancel Crunchyroll in Australia (2026)

To cancel Crunchyroll, sign in at crunchyroll.com in a web browser, open Settings > Membership Info, click Cancel Subscription, then confirm on the following screen. You cannot cancel inside the Crunchyroll mobile app — the app only plays video. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or Amazon, you cancel through that store instead, not Crunchyroll. Access continues until the end of the period you've paid for, and there's no ad-supported free tier to drop back to: Crunchyroll ended free viewing on 31 December 2025.

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. The same trick works across streamers — plenty of people cancel Netflix or cancel Binge between the shows they actually watch.
• 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.

FAQ

Why can't I cancel Crunchyroll in the app? The Crunchyroll mobile app is a video player, not a billing portal. Cancellation lives on the website (Settings > Membership Info) or, if you signed up through an app store, inside that store. Some app versions add an Account > Membership > Manage link, but it just hands you off to the App Store or Google Play — it never cancels a web subscription.

Will I lose access immediately? No. You keep watching until the end of the period you've already paid for — the last day of your current month for monthly plans, or the anniversary date for annual plans. Cancelling only stops the next renewal. The one thing that cuts off straight away is offline downloads, which stop playing the moment you cancel.

How do I cancel if I subscribed through iTunes? If you're billed by Apple, cancel through Apple, not Crunchyroll. On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name at the top, tap Subscriptions, select Crunchyroll, and tap Cancel Subscription. The cancel button will not appear on crunchyroll.com when Apple handles the billing.

Is there a free Crunchyroll tier? Not anymore. Crunchyroll ended its ad-supported free tier on 31 December 2025, so watching anything now requires a paid plan. New subscribers still get a 7-day free trial, but there's no permanent free option to fall back on after you cancel.

How do I get a refund? Crunchyroll doesn't refund unused time on a plan you cancel — you simply keep access until the period runs out. For a genuine billing error (a charge after you cancelled, or a duplicate charge), contact Crunchyroll support through the 24/7 chat at help.crunchyroll.com. Australian Consumer Law still applies to faulty or misrepresented services, so if a charge is wrong and support won't fix it, your card issuer's chargeback process is the fallback.
