# LIT™ vs Crunchyroll

The clearest difference is rating: Crunchyroll at 4.8 against LIT™'s 3.6. Crunchyroll also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 51%) and ratings volume (857 vs 71). LIT™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crunchyroll sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $13.99 per month. LIT™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Crunchyroll holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crunchyroll has 857 ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of LIT™'s written reviews are positive against 82% of Crunchyroll's.

LIT™ ships an update every 4 days, Crunchyroll every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
