Crunchyroll is a streaming service focused on anime, with paid Premium tiers that remove ads and add extras like downloads or multi-device streaming.
Plans typically start around $9.99 per month for the Fan tier in the US, with higher options available. Charges may appear on your credit card, PayPal, or through Apple, Google, or another partner.
Deleting the Crunchyroll app does not cancel your membership. This guide shows the official ways to cancel so you can stop auto-renewal and avoid future recurring charges.
What Is Crunchyroll and How Billing Works
Crunchyroll offers ad-free anime streaming, simulcasts, and extras that vary by plan. Current US tiers generally include Fan, Mega Fan, and Ultimate Fan options with different device limits and perks.
Billing is usually monthly or annual and can come from several places. You might pay Crunchyroll directly with a credit card or PayPal on the website. Or you may have signed up through the app (Apple or Google), Amazon, PlayStation, Roku, or YouTube.
The service that handles your payment controls cancellation. Deleting the app, logging out, or removing a payment method does not stop charges. You must cancel through the same place you originally subscribed.
A free trial (often 7 days) typically converts to a paid plan unless you cancel first. Access after cancellation generally continues until the end of the current billing period.
How to Cancel from the Crunchyroll Website or Account
Use this method if you subscribed directly on Crunchyroll.com with a credit card or PayPal.
- Open a web browser and go to Crunchyroll.com.
- Log into the account that has the membership.
- Click your profile icon in the top right, then select Settings.
- Go to Membership Info.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm by choosing the option to finish cancellation. You can skip any feedback survey.
Your Premium access usually continues until the end of the paid period. Check the Membership Info page afterward to confirm the end date.
Canceling If Billed Through Apple or Google
If you signed up inside the Crunchyroll app, billing is handled by Apple or Google. You will not see a cancel option on the Crunchyroll website.
On iPhone or iPad
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select Crunchyroll.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
You can also start from the Crunchyroll app: tap Profile, then Membership, then Manage. This opens the Apple subscription screen.
On Android
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile picture.
- Tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Select Crunchyroll.
- Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.
From the Crunchyroll app, go to Profile > Membership > Manage to reach the same Google screen.
Access continues until the end of the current billing period in most cases.
Canceling Through Other Platforms
If Membership Info shows Amazon, PlayStation, Roku, or YouTube, cancel directly on that platform. Crunchyroll support cannot manage those subscriptions.
- Amazon: Use the Manage Your Subscriptions or video channels settings page.
- PlayStation: Sign in to Account Management and go to Subscriptions.
- Roku: Manage or cancel through Roku account settings.
- YouTube: Go to youtube.com/paid_memberships and locate Crunchyroll.
Check your Membership Info page on Crunchyroll.com for a link that points to the correct platform.
What Happens After You Cancel
You typically keep Premium benefits until the end of the current billing cycle. Future auto-renewals should stop once the cancellation processes.
If you cancel during a free trial, access may end right away rather than lasting the full trial period.
You should see a confirmation in your account settings or receive an email. Save that information. If another charge appears after the expected end date, first confirm the status in the place you canceled (website, Apple, Google, or partner). Then contact the relevant support team.
Tips for a Smooth Cancellation
First check Membership Info on Crunchyroll.com to learn exactly how you are billed.
Cancel at least a day or two before the next renewal date if you want to avoid the upcoming charge.
Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation screen or email.
Review your bank or card statement for the next cycle to make sure auto-renewal has stopped.
If you have more than one Crunchyroll account, search your email for older receipts so you cancel the correct one.
Common Problems and Solutions
If you do not see a Cancel option on the website, your membership is likely managed by Apple, Google, or another partner. Cancel through that service instead.
Deleting the app or removing the payment method leaves the subscription active. You must cancel formally.
A charge after cancellation often means the request arrived after the renewal had already processed. Access continues for that final period and should not renew again.
If you cannot log in or find the subscription, search email for Crunchyroll receipts. You may have used a different address.
For Apple or Google refunds, request them through Apple or Google. Crunchyroll cannot process those. Direct Crunchyroll payments have limited refund options; contact support via chat for account-specific help.
FAQs About Cancel Crunchyroll Membership
Q. How do I cancel Crunchyroll membership?
A. Log into Crunchyroll.com, go to Settings > Membership Info, and select Cancel Subscription if you pay directly. For app store billing, cancel through Apple or Google settings or the Manage link in the Crunchyroll app.
Q. Does deleting the Crunchyroll app cancel the membership?
A. No. Deleting the app only removes it from your device. The subscription and billing continue until you cancel through the original signup method.
Q. Will I get a refund after canceling?
