"On February 2, Crunchyroll announced that all three of its streaming tiers ( Fan, Mega Fan, and Ultimate Fan) are getting price increases in the United States on March 4. Here's what's changing: Fan Tier - $9 a month (was $8) Mega Fan Tier - $14 a month (was $12) Ultimate Fan Tier - $18 a month (was $16) According to Crunchyroll, this is the first time since 2019 that the anime-on-demand service has raised the price of the Fan tier in the U.S."
"In an effort to help explain the price increase, Crunchyroll listed some features it's working on adding or has already recently added to the service. These include profiles for teens, the ability to skip intros and credits, and support for multiple profiles. That's nice, and I imagine Crunchyroll subscribers have been wanting some of these features for a bit now and are happy to have them or to be getting them in the near future."
Crunchyroll will raise U.S. subscription prices on March 4 for all three tiers to $9 (Fan), $14 (Mega Fan), and $18 (Ultimate Fan) per month. The Fan tier increase is the first since 2019; a 2024 price rise did not affect the Fan tier. Crunchyroll cited features being added or recently added, such as teen profiles, skippable intros and credits, and multiple-profile support. The increases add $12–$24 per year for subscribers. Broader cost pressures affect other services and tech, with examples including Ubisoft, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, and online prices at a 12-year high.
