# BBirthday vs Crunchyroll

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BBirthday at 91% against Crunchyroll's 43%. BBirthday also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 25). Crunchyroll's advantage is update cadence (daily vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BBirthday sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Crunchyroll sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $13.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BBirthday holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BBirthday has 1.6K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of BBirthday's written reviews are positive against 43% of Crunchyroll's.

BBirthday ships an update monthly, Crunchyroll daily. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
