So, you've binged all of Jujutsu Kaisen and now the Crunchyroll subscription is just sitting there. It happens. Founded in 2006, Crunchyroll is the go-to spot for anime, but keeping a subscription you don't use is like throwing money away. This guide will help you cancel your subscription, which costs from $7.99 to $14.99 a month. We cover how to cancel on desktop, iOS, and Android, potentially saving you up to $180 a year. Let's get that money back in your pocket.
How to Cancel Crunchyroll on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to Crunchyroll through the App Store, you have to cancel it through your Apple account. Deleting the app won't do anything, a classic mistake people make.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray Settings icon on your iPhone's home screen. This is where all Apple-level subscriptions are managed, not inside the Crunchyroll app itself.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and media settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, find and tap on Subscriptions. This will show you a list of all active and expired subscriptions tied to your Apple account.
4 Find and Cancel Crunchyroll
Scroll through the list to find Crunchyroll. Tap on it, and then select Cancel Subscription. You'll need to confirm your choice. Apple will handle the rest.
How to Cancel Crunchyroll on Android
For Android users, your subscription is managed by Google Play. You can't cancel it from inside the Crunchyroll app, which is a little confusing.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. Make sure you're signed into the Google account you used to subscribe to Crunchyroll.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with several account options.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the profile menu, select Payments & subscriptions. Then, on the next screen, tap Subscriptions to see all your active services.
4 Locate and Cancel Crunchyroll
Find Crunchyroll in your list of subscriptions and tap on it. Follow the on-screen instructions to Cancel subscription. Google will ask for a reason, but you can skip it.
How to Cancel Crunchyroll on Desktop or Laptop
This method is for subscriptions started directly on the Crunchyroll website. If you paid with PayPal, you might also want to check your PayPal account to ensure the recurring payment is canceled there too.
1 Visit the Crunchyroll Website
Open your web browser and go to the official Crunchyroll website. Click the Log In button at the top right corner and enter your credentials.
2 Navigate to Your Account Settings
Once logged in, hover over your profile icon in the top-right corner and select My Account from the dropdown menu.
3 Find Your Subscription Info
In the left-hand menu, click on Subscription Info. This page shows your current plan, next billing date, and payment method. It's where the magic happens.
4 Cancel Your Membership
Click the Cancel Membership button. Crunchyroll might show you an offer to try and keep you, but you can proceed with the cancellation. Follow the final prompts to confirm.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
Before you hit cancel, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Keep Watching Until the End: After you cancel, you can still use your premium benefits until the end of the current billing cycle. So, you don't lose out on what you've already paid for.
- No Refunds for Forgetting: Crunchyroll does not offer prorated refunds if you cancel mid-month or forget to cancel before your renewal date. Their policy is pretty firm on this.
- Your Watch History is Safe: Canceling doesn't delete your account. Your watch history, queues, and preferences will all be saved. If you decide to resubscribe later with the same account, everything will be right where you left it.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Crunchyroll Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few common issues and how to solve them:
- Can't Find the 'Cancel' Button? This almost always means you didn't subscribe directly through the Crunchyroll website. Check your Apple or Google Play subscriptions first. That's usually where it's hiding.
- Login Problems: If you can't log in, try resetting your password. If that doesn't work, clear your browser's cache and cookies or try using an incognito window. Sometimes the site just gets buggy.
- Still Stuck? Contact Support: If all else fails, you can contact Crunchyroll's customer support through their website's contact form. Be prepared for a wait, as responses can sometimes take a while.
