What should be a simple click or two can often involve digging through account settings and deciphering cryptic instructions. We’ve all been there, wishing there was just a clear and concise guide to get the job done quickly.
Knowing how to cancel a Crunchyroll subscription efficiently is important for several reasons. Beyond simply saving money, it prevents unwanted recurring charges and puts you in control of your finances.

Plus, having this knowledge empowers you to manage all your subscriptions with confidence.
Common Cancellation Questions:
Can I cancel Crunchyroll on my phone?
Yes, you can cancel your Crunchyroll membership on your phone, but the method depends on how you initially subscribed. If you subscribed directly through the Crunchyroll app on your iPhone or Android, you’ll need to cancel via your device’s respective app store subscriptions. If you subscribed on Crunchyroll’s website using a web browser, you’ll likely need to cancel through the Crunchyroll website, even if you are using your phone’s browser.
Cancelling through the app stores is generally straightforward. For iOS (iPhone) users, navigate to your Apple ID settings, then subscriptions, and find Crunchyroll to cancel. For Android users who subscribed through the Google Play Store, you’ll find your subscriptions in the Google Play Store app under your account settings, where you can manage and cancel Crunchyroll. Remember that canceling your subscription through the app store will prevent future charges, but your access to Crunchyroll Premium will typically continue until the end of your current billing cycle. If you signed up through the Crunchyroll website, open a web browser on your phone, go to the Crunchyroll website, log in to your account, and look for the subscription or membership settings. There should be an option to cancel your membership there. If you are having trouble finding it, check their FAQs or help section. It’s important to cancel a few days before your renewal date to ensure that your subscription is stopped before the next payment is processed.
Will I still have access after canceling Crunchyroll?
No, once you cancel your Crunchyroll membership, you will typically lose access to premium content and features immediately after the current billing cycle ends. You will retain access to any free, ad-supported content that Crunchyroll offers.
Once your cancellation is processed, your account will revert to a free, ad-supported account at the end of your current billing period. This means you’ll no longer be able to watch premium content (shows available only to subscribers), simulcasts (new episodes shortly after they air in Japan), or access features like ad-free viewing and offline viewing. You’ll also lose benefits like discounts on merchandise that are often included in higher tier subscription plans. Essentially, you’re paying for access to a premium service. When you stop paying, that access is revoked. You should receive a confirmation email confirming your cancellation and the date on which your premium access will end, so make sure to check your inbox. Keep in mind that any downloads made for offline viewing will likely become inaccessible once your subscription lapses.
How do I cancel Crunchyroll if I subscribed through Roku?
To cancel your Crunchyroll subscription that you started through Roku, you’ll need to manage your subscription directly through your Roku account. Crunchyroll support cannot cancel subscriptions billed through Roku.
The cancellation process is initiated via your Roku device or through the Roku website. On your Roku device, navigate to your channel subscriptions within your account settings. Locate Crunchyroll in the list of your subscriptions and select the option to cancel. You will typically be prompted to confirm your cancellation. If you prefer, you can also log in to your Roku account on a computer or mobile device via the Roku website, go to “Manage Subscriptions”, find Crunchyroll, and cancel it from there.
After canceling, you’ll usually still have access to Crunchyroll until the end of your current billing cycle. Make sure to cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid being charged for the next month. Once cancelled, verify the change reflected in your Roku account to ensure that the subscription is properly terminated.
Is there a cancellation fee for Crunchyroll?
No, Crunchyroll does not typically charge a cancellation fee for its premium memberships. You can cancel your subscription at any time without incurring extra charges beyond the current billing cycle you’ve already paid for.
However, keep in mind that your access to Crunchyroll Premium benefits will continue until the end of your current billing period. Once that period ends, your subscription will be terminated, and you will revert to a free, ad-supported viewing experience, or have no access to premium-only content. If you subscribed through a third-party platform like Roku, Apple (iTunes), Google Play, or Amazon, the cancellation process and any potential refund policies are governed by those respective platforms. Always refer to the terms and conditions of the platform where you made the initial subscription purchase. For example, Apple and Google Play may offer refunds in specific circumstances, but this is not guaranteed. Finally, be certain to cancel your subscription *before* your next billing date to avoid being charged for another month. Review your account settings on Crunchyroll’s website or the app to confirm your cancellation and the date it will take effect.
What’s the easiest way to cancel my Crunchyroll premium membership?
The easiest way to cancel your Crunchyroll premium membership is usually through the platform where you initially subscribed. This means if you signed up via the Crunchyroll website, you’ll cancel there. If you signed up through a third-party like the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Roku, or another service, you’ll need to manage your subscription through that specific platform’s subscription settings.
Canceling directly through the Crunchyroll website is often the most straightforward. Log in to your account on the Crunchyroll website, navigate to your account settings or subscription details, and look for a “Cancel Subscription” or similarly worded option. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation. Remember to keep a record of your cancellation confirmation, either through a screenshot or email, for your reference. If you subscribed through a third-party platform, the cancellation process will vary depending on the platform. For example, on iOS, you would go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions. On Android, you would open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile icon, then tap Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions. From there, find Crunchyroll and cancel your membership. The specific steps might change slightly depending on your device and operating system version, so consult the platform’s help documentation if needed. It’s crucial to cancel through the correct platform to ensure your subscription is properly terminated and you are not charged further.
How do I cancel my Crunchyroll free trial before getting charged?
To cancel your Crunchyroll free trial before being charged, you’ll need to access your account settings and disable the auto-renewal feature. This is typically done through the Crunchyroll website or app where you initially signed up. Make sure you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid any unwanted charges.
The exact steps to cancel your Crunchyroll free trial can vary slightly depending on how you signed up. If you subscribed through the Crunchyroll website, log in to your account, navigate to your subscription settings, and find the option to cancel or disable auto-renewal. You might have to click through a few confirmation screens. If you subscribed through a third-party platform like Google Play, Apple App Store, Roku, or Amazon, you’ll need to manage your subscription directly through those platforms. Remember to check your Crunchyroll account settings or your email confirmation for the exact end date of your free trial. It’s also good practice to take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page as proof you’ve successfully cancelled, just in case any issues arise later.
And that’s all there is to it! Canceling your Crunchyroll subscription is a breeze. Thanks so much for giving Crunchyroll a try, we hope you enjoyed all the anime goodness. We’d love to have you back in the future whenever you’re ready for another anime binge!
