Streaming platform Crunchyroll announced on May 1, 2024 that it has increased subscription prices for the Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan tiers in some countries, marking the first price adjustment since 2019 .

This change is due to the platform's continuous investments in expanding its content library, introducing additional services and enhancing subscriber benefits.

The revised pricing will affect subscribers in Argentina, Colombia, France, Portugal, the United States, and several other countries. In the US, the Mega Fan tier will increase to $11.99 per month, up from $9.99, while the Ultimate Fan tier will cost $15.99 per month, up from $14.99. The Fan level will remain unchanged at $7.99 per month.

Additionally, Crunchyroll has revised the free trial period from 14 days to seven days of free viewing.
